Outset Ventures is a start-up studio based upon the model provided by the traditional film industry, where a central studio fosters successful development of multiple production companies by providing operating expertise, packaging and team building, relationships, know-how and capital to develop ideas into companies. Outset is not an incubator or a venture firm. It is an operator focused on turning valuable ideas into operating companies with exit velocity through business jumpstarts, turnarounds or combinations. Outset XL (www.outsetXL.com), a wholly owned subsidiary of Outset Ventures, invests in, reorganizes and consolidates proven early stage companies in market spaces where a consolidation is destined to occur. In these companies, aggregation with other like or vertically integrated companies can create a long term financial success. Outset believes that 2016 and 2017 represent a very interesting opportunity for consolidation of quality companies in key markets as the pendulum for availability of capital swings back and investors and Boards are faced with very difficult decisions about the ongoing support of existing investments.
