Yes. A number of startup studios (also called venture studios or venture builders) work with founders remotely and do not require permanent relocation. The model varies: some are fully remote, some are “remote-first with optional meetups,” and some hire founders-in-residence who can work from anywhere.
Here are some examples to explore:
| Studio / program | Remote model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Origin Studios | Remote collaboration | Works with founders as co-founders, providing product, engineering, go-to-market, and operations support; it states that it works remotely with partners across Europe, the UK, and the US. Origin Studios |
| Foundersmax | Remote founder roles | Has advertised remote Founder-in-Residence and Venture Partner roles, with no relocation requirement for those roles. Wellfound Wellfound |
| A Foundery | Remote or on-site | Its Founder-in-Residence program says founders can participate remotely or on-site and does not require relocation. Indus Foundry |
| Founderra | Remote-first | Runs a remote-first startup-building program where founders can work from anywhere. Founderra |
| Platform Venture Studio | Fully remote operations | Described as operating fully remotely and working with Founders-in-Residence through a structured venture-building process. Venture Studios Hub |

While traditional startup studios heavily favor in-person co-creation and local ecosystems, the rise of distributed operational tools and asynchronous workflows has led several prominent studios to embrace global, remote talent.
