We use insight to build profitable startups. InsightStudios is a startup studio and innovation consultancy. Our unique development methodology de-leverages the risk of seed-stage ventures and dramatically improves the odds of startup success. Our solution is a proprietary process for building startups called Insight-Driven Iteration. This proven process provides break-through business model validation and de-leverages the risk of seed-stage investing using deep customer insight. Unlike accelerators or incubators, InsightStudios originates 100% of its ideas. Our proprietary deal flow of validated ideas is derived from problems experienced first hand by our experienced entrepreneurs, who have all created profitable businesses from scratch. The result is a startup portfolio that dramatically outperforms the market average for comparable seed funds. In the next few years, we will create 124 startups and train 1,628 entrepreneurs who use our methodology and risk everything to change the world.
