Very insightful; many think of Startup Studios as a recent phenomenon, however (as illustrated in this book) they've been around for a while :)

Thank you for the kind comment!

And yes, you are right! Best example is Idealab - creating amazing ventures and exits since 1996. But even before them, some large companies were creating new ventures for new products and grew them much like startups. :)
