BUDETO’s Startup Studio Explained

BUDETO exists to solve the recurring challenges faced by startups. By establishing a unique startup studio model, we provide a rigorous framework: we ideate concepts with high potential, assemble skilled and balanced founding teams, and secure the early funding needed for startups to gain traction quickly.

A key focus is on second-time founders who particularly appreciate having a co-founder onboard to navigate business details collaboratively, without interference in daily operations. Our role is primarily in strategic support, especially in fundraising—handled up to five times in just the last year alone—while offering a reliable network that, although helpful, remains mindful of the essential business nuances critical for decision-making.

This approach enables BUDETO-backed startups to raise seed funding significantly faster than traditional startups and with a higher success rate leading up to Series B. Our model also provides ongoing, hands-on support, with three core pillars—strategic guidance, talent acquisition, and fundraising assistance—until Series A funding is secured, promoting sustainable growth at every phase. With backing from seasoned investors and a committed team, we aim to bring scalable, multi-regional companies with strong digital elements to market, addressing critical gaps and fostering long-term success.

Let's dive into the key benefits of partnering with a startup studio.

VC Investor, Incubator, Accelerator, … startup studio?

1. Co-Founder Role (Startup Studios): Startup studios act as co-founders from ideation to creation, offering deep engagement and expertise in critical areas. This hands-on approach builds a strong foundation for startups. Founders make hundreds of small decisions daily and therefore are in instant touch with the studio founder.

2. Supporting Role (Incubators and Accelerators): These entities engage in validation and creation stages, providing mentorship and resources without taking on co-founder responsibilities. They support avoid operational decisions and last for a couple of months at maximum.

3. Network and Little Support (VCs and Private Equity): VCs and PE firms focus on later stages, providing funding and network access. They emphasize scaling and expansion through capital and high-level advice, with minimal operational involvement.

This hands-on support continues through the Series A funding round, ensuring startups have a solid foundation for growth.
