Platform Venture Studio (also known as Platform, PVS) is a venture studio founded in September 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Jeremy Burton and Tim Connors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The studio specializes exclusively in building AI-native marketplace businesses, providing comprehensive infrastructure for founders from all backgrounds to build groundbreaking companies that tackle the world's biggest problems. Platform operates on a highly selective model, working with Founders-in-Residence (FIRs) through a structured 12-14 month program from ideation to spinout. The studio is sector-agnostic but business model-specific, focusing on four key themes: Climate, The New Economy, Social Justice, and Civic Engagement. Platform distinguishes itself through its proprietary PlatformOS software platform (described as 'GitHub for Building Startups'), a community of 80,000+ coaches, investors, and advisors, and a proven methodology that has helped portfolio companies raise $15M+ in external funding. The studio operates fully remote with a full-time team of 13 covering product development, design, growth, talent acquisition, and finance. Platform is structured as a dual entity with both a holding company and fund, primarily backed by family office capital.
