Our take
It's a sad fact that over 90% of startups fail. In the tech sector where firms are addressing problems with emerging technologies, it's especially important to reduce this number. Accelerators, incubators and venture capital firms can play a part but they aren't suitable for every business challenge. Enter Next Big Thing, a venture studio focusing on accessible and sustainable solutions for the future Machine (AIoT) Economy.
Venture studios combine the approaches of venture capital firms and incubators, though they go a step further than funding and supporting a startup. Next Big Thing also builds the founding team, acts as a co-founder, and supports the business through scaling up. Operating in AI, blockchain and IoT fields with businesses that line up with its vision and sustainability goals, it has co-founded 15 ventures, raised €35 million in funding and created €150 million in value.
Next Big Thing is continuing to grow its portfolio of ventures and expand its partnership scheme, which already includes enterprises such as Lufthansa, bitkom, and accenture. It continues to recruit for talent of all types across its network of startups as it moves to attract further funding and scale up operations.
