About Us
Platform Venture Studio (platformstud.io) was created for founders by founders. We provide the infrastructure for founders from all backgrounds to build groundbreaking companies that tackle the world’s biggest problems.
Our tried and true methodology helps startups reach escape velocity faster, cheaper, and while having a lot more fun. Our studio team does real work, we don’t waste time, and we’ve seen the traps that most startups fall into so we can help you steer clear of the potholes along the way. Platform’s creators, serial entrepreneur Jeremy Burton and 2020 Midas List investor Tim Connors, have 60+ years of combined experience developing highly successful startups.
In addition to support from our studio team and other portfolio companies, we have an 80,000+ strong community of coaches, investors, future customers, and advisors for you to lean on.
We value results. We worship data. We don't chase fads. We build companies that change the world for the better.
About the Opportunity
We seek an entrepreneur excited to explore new ways to help startups access the expertise they need to grow. In this role, you'll develop solutions that address the challenges startups face in sourcing, matching with, and engaging experienced talent on a fractional or part-time basis.
This is a flexible and open-ended opportunity where you will define what the most impactful solution looks like. Whether it involves improving access to part-time executive talent or creating innovative approaches to hiring, you will have the freedom to shape a solution that responds to the unique needs of startups today. You'll play a key role in crafting a scalable and valuable resource for emerging companies.
Note: If you have already raised capital and found product-market fit, then you are likely too late for our Founder-in-Residence program. Alternatively, we do make select traditional pre-seed investments in highly thematic companies. If you are interested in pitching for direct investment, please use Platform's DeckSend tool to send your deck for consideration: https://decksend.net/submit/cohort-2025
Note: Please do not pitch us in this application. We don't want to hear why you think your idea is the greatest thing ever. Instead, we want to hear about why you want to partner with us to solve a problem and engage in a process to discover the right solution. If you don't feel like you have a bulletproof, perfect answer to some of these questions, that's normal. Do your best and show your work.
We most want to understand who you are: your story, your motivation for being a founder, why you care about the problem you're trying to solve, and how you think about and approach problem-solving. Take this opportunity to tell us who you are and let it serve as a reflective exercise for yourself as a founder.
