Very insightful; many think of Startup Studios as a recent phenomenon, however (as illustrated in this book) they've been around for a while :)
Thank you for the kind comment!
And yes, you are right! Best example is Idealab - creating amazing ventures and exits since 1996. But even before them, some large companies were creating new ventures for new products and grew them much like startups. :)

Awesome thanks for sharing! Thumbs up, mate!
Please have a look - and get a free sample, or a big discount through the Product Hunt page - of my new book, which is about startup studios, a.k.a. venture builders, startup factories...
Almost two years ago we decided to transform our development agency (Drukka) into a startup studio, an organization that build innovative new companies with internal resources in a sustainable and repeatable way. But we didn't know how.
So I started to research the topic, and interviewed some of the most exciting examples - Science, Betaworks, eFounders and many more. And I put all this knowledge into this book, to make the startup studio model more transparent, and to enable entrepreneurs to build and grow new studios.
Now, interestingly the startup studio model is not yet that popular in the Bay Area, with few exceptions like Expa. I think that's because the whole Bay Area is like a giant startup studio, where you have critical mass of talent, money and ideas. But the rest of the world is like a desert, where these three things are scarce. And in such an underdeveloped startup ecosystem a studio is like an oasis.
Either way, looking at the trends we see that nr of startup studios is doubling - tripling in the recent years. So I hope you will find some value in the book and discover how the startup studio model can benefit you.

If you have any question, thought about the topic, please share.
