What if the most scalable startup ideas aren’t in the cloud—but on the factory floor?

In this episode, Renan Devillieres, founder of OSS Ventures, reveals how he’s helped launch 20+ startups into the heart of industrial operations—powering over 2,000 factories across Europe.

We explore why venture studios might be the next great startup model for founders who want to build fast, validate early, and embed into real-world systems. But the real story here? It’s a deeper one—about dignity, constraint, and why sustainable disruption starts with humility, not hype.

🔑 Topics We Cover

Why industrial pain points are a goldmine for founders

The OSS Ventures model (and how it differs from incubators or VCs)

What legacy industries get right that tech often misses

How Renan balances systems thinking with startup speed

Book recs: Zero to One by Peter Thiel and How to Live an Extraordinary Life by Anthony Pompliano
