Studio companies defy the odds.
Here’s why startup studios are creating new norms for business building.
Better chances of success
According to Global Startup Studios Network (GSSN), around 80-90% of startups that do it alone tend to fail, while startups that launch from studios have a 30% higher success rate.
Get funded faster
Studio startups are 40% more likely to raise funding from seed to series A than non-studio startups.
Scale at a record rate
On average, studios help startups go from creation to their seed round in just 10.6 months, which is less than a third of the time it takes for non-studio startups to raise a seed round.
Accelerated growth
Supportive ecosystem, access to seed capital, expertise and operational resources, and connections to a broad network of founders, innovators, experts, investors, and markets lead to accelerated growth.
We have skin in the game from the start
Twelvefold provides fundamental support to our founders to help them execute and deliver on their vision.
Focus on what matters
And that’s building your business. Leave the rest to us. Our operations team will handle legal, compliance, HR, and all the other activities that distract founders starting out.
Dream team as a co-founder
From day 1, you will have access to a fully-stacked startup team with technical, product, marketing, and design expertise that’s working day in and out to ensure your success.
Access to capital
The studio provides funding until a startup is validated, built, and spun out. Post that we will work with our community of investors for capital to scale your startup.
Immigration
Some of the best startups are built by immigrants. As a venture studio, we have unique access to various immigration possibilities for you and will ensure you can succeed.
