About Venture Studio (Venture Studio Model)
The Venture Studio model is for existing, often distressed, businesses rather than first-time accelerator applicants. Marwari Catalysts comes in as a strategic co-founder rather than an outside mentor, taking a stake in the business.
What you get
- A working co-founder involved from day-to-day operations through to exit, not just advisory input
- Operational restructuring of systems, teams and processes
- Leadership support from veteran operators and domain experts to fill leadership gaps
- Access to a co-founder network for hiring and partnerships
- Funding released against agreed milestones
Who can apply: Investors, founders, or owners of an existing business, particularly one that needs a turnaround rather than a first round of acceleration.
How to apply: Via the "Pitch to Us" or Contact page -- no separate form is described for this track.
