Venture studios are quietly becoming one of the most effective models for company creation, but most people still don't understand what happens inside one.

For this podcast episode I sat down with @AndyBilinsky, Partner at Interplay leading our Studio, to break down exactly how we build companies from the ground up.

During our conversation, we covered:
- What a venture studio actually is and how it differs from traditional VC
- Why we research industries deeply before ever writing a business plan
- The role of operating partners as true co-founders
- Why second- and third-time founders are choosing to build with a studio instead of going solo
- How Interplay went from 3 new companies in Q4 2025 to targeting 10+ in 2026

Big thanks to Andy for pulling back the curtain on how we build. Grateful to have him here at Interplay.

@TMZ @TMZLive What a trash article and interview attempting to discount the only good candidate the city has. Shame on you @TMZ

Anyone in LA who isn’t voting for @spencerpratt is a total idiot.

This isn’t even close.

@JesseTinsley @pauldatx So then why agree to do the interview? Did he think they wouldn’t ask simple questions like that?

@E_Bruxxx @JoshuaKDominic We should try and jointly build a list of firms/angels that will actually write the first check/lead in this vertical.

@zanehengsperger @noxmetals We’ve started four of these companies in the last 6 months out of the Interplay Studio; Two advanced manufacturing of critical materials and two in the rare earth supply chain.

Would love to connect with any investors looking to fund at the early stage. DMs are open.

If you focus too much on Karen Bass you miss the 4 socialists on the city council.

You miss imbeciles on the County Board of Supervisors like Lindsay Horvath.

You miss the destruction wrought by George Gascon while he was in office.

Diagnose the problem correctly people.
