Venture Studio Founder (VSF) Program
Build, Scale, and Own the Next Venture with MS Capital Group
MS Capital Group’s Venture Studio Founder Program is our venture-building platform for experienced entrepreneurs who want to build, scale, or professionalize a business with long-term ownership and institutional support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Venture Studio Founder Program?
The Venture Studio Founder (VSF) Program is MS Capital Group’s venture-building platform for experienced entrepreneurs who want to build, scale, or professionalize a business with long-term ownership and institutional support. Unlike traditional accelerators or incubators, the VSF Program operates as a hands-on venture partnership where entrepreneurs receive equity participation, a base salary, and access to MS Capital Group’s shared infrastructure while taking an active leadership role in building or scaling a standalone venture.
Who is the Venture Studio Founder Program for?
The program is open to three types of operators: entrepreneurs with existing businesses seeking capital, structure, or operational support; operators looking to join and lead one of MS Capital Group’s portfolio ventures; and experienced founders aiming to build a new company with institutional backing rather than starting alone. Participants are expected to demonstrate proven execution capability, strong industry experience, and a clear ambition to build scalable businesses.
What sectors does the Venture Studio Founder Program support?
The Venture Studio Founder Program supports ventures across technology, financial services, media, digital platforms, and scalable service businesses. This aligns with MS Capital Group’s broader focus on AI, fintech, IoT, and Web3, while remaining open to other high-growth, operator-led businesses where the firm’s ecosystem can add meaningful value.
What do founders receive when joining the program?
Founders accepted into the Venture Studio Founder Program receive equity participation in their venture, a base salary, and access to MS Capital Group’s shared infrastructure including legal structuring, finance, HR, recruiting, and strategic execution support. The model emphasizes long-term equity ownership, disciplined growth, and operator-led decision-making rather than short-term acceleration.
Where do Venture Studio Founder Program participants work from?
Entrepreneurs accepted into the Venture Studio Founder Program are required to relocate to one of MS Capital Group’s headquarters in Singapore or Bali, Indonesia. This co-location ensures direct collaboration with the firm’s leadership, platform teams, and portfolio company operators throughout the venture-building process.
How is the Venture Studio Founder Program different from an accelerator?
The Venture Studio Founder Program differs from traditional accelerators in three ways: it is a long-term venture partnership rather than a fixed-duration cohort program; participants receive a base salary alongside equity rather than only investment; and entrepreneurs work directly with MS Capital Group’s operating teams and portfolio infrastructure rather than receiving generic mentorship. The program’s focus is on building enduring companies with meaningful operator ownership, not on demo-day exits.
