The Studio is an AI-native venture builder for the Global South, purpose‑built to transform high‑barrier problems into scalable, investable companies.

Partnering with domain experts and high‑agency founders from concept to Series A, it both builds new ventures and re‑engineers existing ones for AI‑driven growth.

Powered by UTOPIA OS – a modular, adaptive stack tailored to each venture – it compresses the path from concept to Series A to under 24 months.

We’re hiring a Marketing & Communications Lead to own the Studio’s brand narrative and ecosystem presence – across content, communications, events, and storytelling.

This is a strategic and hands‑on role that focuses on essential credibility and visibility while working with trusted agencies and freelancers for PR, design, and production.
