Studio Management

We’re a data driven asset manager investing across public equities and venture capital. Our mission is to influence the flow of capital into companies that improve society & push culture forward. 1. As public market investors, we’ve posted top decile returns using our data-driven approach. Prior to Studio we built Sentieo, an AI-driven financial research platform, as a way to gain alpha in our public market investments. Sentieo is now used by some of the world’s top investment funds. 2. As venture investors, we finance and incubate startups across stages and sectors, leveraging our experience as entrepreneurs. Companies we’ve co-founded have collectively raised over $90m in venture capital and have scaled to over 1,000 employees. We marry this experience as entrepreneurs with our data-driven approach as investors to identify and incubate startups advancing societal health, productivity, and well-being.
