How a venture studio works
Conker is a venture studio that partners with founders to build product-led technology start-ups. Rather than simply advising, it provides a full team of experienced operators who work hands-on to turn ideas into scalable businesses quickly.
The model means founders do not need to hire every specialist themselves at the start.
Filling a gap
The launch comes amid wider debate about how to help more North East founders get from idea to investable company, with more experienced operators passing their knowledge on to the next generation.
