What is the difference between a venture studio and a dev studio like GeekyAnts?
A dev studio builds your product to a brief for a fee and hands it over. A venture studio like Sitio Labs co-founds the product, brings design and AI strategy alongside engineering, and stays invested — usually taking equity and helping grow it, not just ship it.
