Our approach
Venture Studios: A New Model for Innovation
High Alpha Innovation partners with organizations to create a permanent capability to conceive and launch a steady stream of startups. Startups are designed to rapidly iterate and learn by taking calculated risks with the potential to win big. Corporations have a deep understanding of their markets and access to customers. The venture studio model presents the prime opportunity for scaled enterprises to systematically and efficiently experiment through startups — units designed to learn.
After pioneering the venture studio model, which combines systematic company building and venture funding, High Alpha launched High Alpha Innovation in 2020 to bring the advantages of the venture studio model to large organizations. Our dedicated team of company builders, strategists, and designers apply High Alpha’s proven venture studio playbook to systematically execute your innovation strategy. We have learned through first hand experience that combining the speed of a venture studio with the knowledge and scale of a large organization can lead to amazing results.
Formula for Venture studio success
We partner with you to quickly create strategic and financial value by generating, validating, and launching new ideas through High Alpha Innovation’s Sprint Week process. In 3-4 months, you can launch a venture-backed startup through partnership with our experienced team of builders at High Alpha Innovation.
A single startup may not move the needle, but a systematic creation of startups over several years will. We deploy High Alpha Innovation’s proven venture studio playbook to help you create a programmatic, productive innovation function that creates a portfolio of startups focused on a specific brand, industry, or vertical.
