As a founder of a private venture studio I found this episode very informative, as it was interesting to hear how corporate venture studios are operating. Yet, I think the idea that venture studios are mostly suitable for serial entrepreneurs than for first-time entrepreneurs is not correct at all - venture studios are mostly suitable for founders who need to have external support while building their venture, be they first-time entrepreneurs of serial ones. Of course, when the partnership is established and all parties are already comfortable with its conditions, it's easier to return back into "caring hands" of a venture studio than learn new skills.
