Paris, France – September 4, 2026
adVentures participated in the research paper, “Institutionalizing Portfolio Entrepreneurship: The Venture Studio Model,” published in the top-tier journal Technovation (Elsevier). This study, conducted by Davide Viglialoro, Giuliano Sansone, Elisa Ughetto, Paolo Landoni, and Martin Lukes, maps the emergence and distinctiveness of Venture Studios as a transformative model for entrepreneurial organization.
Antoine DUBOSCQ (CEO and Founder), Romain DECORPS (Partner), and Timothée DEMOURES (VP and Venture Director) represented adVentures in a series of interviews, sharing firsthand expertise on how Venture Studios institutionalize entrepreneurial human capital and learning.
A Decade of Thought Leadership
Since its inception in 2010, adVentures has been at the forefront of the Venture Studio movement, pioneering approaches to parallel venture creation, portfolio entrepreneurship, and organizational learning. The study’s findings, drawn from a global database of 1,006 Venture Studios, 12 European case studies, and a worldwide survey.
“This research underscores what we’ve known since founding adVentures: that Venture Studios are not just supporters of startups, but architects of entrepreneurial success. Our model, rooted in hands-on co-founding, shared infrastructure, and continuous learning, and high-level venture crafting, proves that a different to approach to historical entrepreneurship can change the paradigm.” – Romain DECORPS, Partner.
