Inspiration on studios and entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a craft, not a gamble.

Therefore we’ve built adVentures as a learning organization.

We learn firstly from our experience, with our startup failures and successes. We also learn from other startups, from a variety of scientific and business studies on entrepreneurship success and fail factors, and from academic research on entrepreneurship.

Following the learning curve in entrepreneurship is a passionating, never ending journey. It leads to increased probabilities of success, lower consumption of resources, higher returns, and greater satisfaction for people, investors and stakeholders.
