FNV Studio is a venture studio and independent sponsor that acquires companies to build on their foundation and also builds new companies in-house.
We start with our own ideas, then either buy a company or form a new company, build teams of investors and executives, and develop new products and services.
We focus on consumer services with an interest in market platforms, communities and networks, consumer brands, subscription models, and social impact.
Our unique approach combines the best of private equity and venture to increase innovation by leveraging existing company profits and customers, greatly accelerating the rollout of new products and services and at a lower cost.
Our efficient financial model creates better risk adjusted returns and more value for limited partners and our management teams. We want to connect with entrepreneurs, executives, and investors who are excited about disrupting the startup and venture capital markets.
We selectively apply our expertise to build nonprofits that we think need to exist in the world.
