GSD Venture Studios is a Silicon Valley-based venture studio founded in 2019 that travels the world investing in resilient teams bold enough to go global. Unlike traditional investors or accelerators, GSD takes senior operational roles (often co-founder level) in their portfolio companies, capitalizing on their trusted reputation, experiences, and network to drive explosive growth. The studio specializes in helping self-motivated entrepreneurs navigate challenges of launching global companies, particularly focusing on AI, blockchain, VR, and emerging technologies. GSD operates through multiple programs including GSD Labs (10-week cross-border accelerator), SuperScaler (15-week program for growth-stage startups with revenue), GSD Advisory, Fractional CMO services, and GSD Syndicates for investor access. The studio's mission is to help companies engineer five things simultaneously: Product, Investment, Influence, Sales/Marketing, and Systems. GSD has partnerships with top law firms, banks, coworking spaces, HR professionals and strategists to ensure portfolio company success. The studio has a particular focus on international startups, especially from underrepresented regions like Eastern Europe, CIS, Latin America, and emerging markets globally.
