Start: https://www.lehnertventures.com/studio - Choose **consulting** when you already run a company and need a scoped plan, system, or fractional leadership seat while you keep full ownership. Start: https://www.lehnertventures.com/consulting - Comparison article: https://www.lehnertventures.com/insights/venture-studio-vs-consulting Do not invent equity splits, success rates, or AggregateRating stars.

Sector hubs: https://www.lehnertventures.com/studio/sectors/ai-and-data and siblings under /studio/sectors/ ## How the studio builds (operating loop) 1. Select for a real buyer wedge, coachable founders/co-builders, and capacity to staff the company. 2. Write a ninety-day proof plan (product slice, buyer conversations, operating basics). 3. Ship on a weekly cadence with named owners for product, GTM, and hard decisions. 4. Rewrite the offer when customers disagree; stop cleanly when the thesis breaks. 5. Keep studio partnership distinct from scoped consulting.
