AEX Studio

We solve problems
by building companies around them.

AEX is a venture studio and accelerator. We start companies of our own, build new ventures with established businesses, accelerate early teams and create the brands that take them to market.

01

Company creation · Validation · Co-founding

Venture Studio

We originate ideas, validate them with real customers and build the companies that earn the right to exist.

Our studio starts from a market problem, not a pitch deck. We test the opportunity early, assemble the founding team and build the first product with shared studio resources, so each company starts with more than an idea.

  • Opportunity research and customer validation
  • Founding team, brand and first product built in-house
  • Shared operations, legal and finance from day one

How it starts. Bring a problem worth solving or the experience to lead one. We look for operators who want to co-found a company with AEX alongside them.

Corporate ventures · New products · Spin-offs

Venture Building

We design and launch new ventures with companies that want to grow beyond their core business.

Established companies hold assets a startup cannot buy: customers, data, distribution and industry knowledge. We combine those assets with a startup way of working to build a new business, from first concept to an independent operation.

  • A venture thesis tied to your assets and strategy
  • A validated business model and a launched first product
  • A team, structure and governance for the new company

How it starts. Start with a workshop on your assets and growth ambitions. Agree on the opportunities to test, the investment stages and how ownership is shared before building begins.

Go-to-market · Product · Fundraising readiness

Acceleration

We work hands-on with early-stage companies to sharpen the product, find repeatable growth and prepare for the next round.

Acceleration at AEX is built around the work, not a demo day. We join the team on the decisions that matter most at this stage: who the customer is, what the product must prove, how growth will be measured and what investors will need to see.

  • A focused growth plan with clear traction metrics
  • Product, brand and go-to-market support from the studio team
  • Investor materials and introductions when the company is ready

How it starts. Begin with a review of the company, its numbers and its goals. If there is a fit, we agree on the support, milestones and terms of the programme.

Naming · Identity · Positioning · Digital

Brand Studio

We create the names, identities and digital presence that new companies and products need to stand out.

A brand is often the first thing a market sees of a new business. Our brand studio works on the strategy and the craft together, so the name, the story, the visual identity and the website all say the same thing.

  • Positioning, naming and brand narrative
  • Visual identity, brand guidelines and core assets
  • Website and launch materials ready for the market

How it starts. Start with a brief on the business, the audience and the launch timeline. We agree on the scope, from a complete identity to a focused refresh, before the creative work begins.
