Studio

Studio

Studio is the private equity affiliate of Sia, an independent management consulting group headquartered in Paris with 48 offices across 19 countries. The parent company was built as a digitally native alternative to legacy consulting — its 1,000-plus blue-chip and big tech clients inform the deal flow that Studio evaluates at the earliest stages. Studio concentrates on seed and startup-stage investments, deploying capital in areas where Sia's consulting practice already generates proprietary intelligence. The firm's strategy bridges enterprise software and applied AI: its most recently disclosed investment is in Lemrock, a company building infrastructure for agentic commerce (per Sia, May 2026). Geographic coverage mirrors the parent's footprint, with deal activity spanning Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific from offices that include Paris, London, New York, Singapore and Tokyo. The firm does not publicly disclose assets under management or team headcount, operating instead as an embedded investment function inside a 3,000-person professional services organization. Its structure — a venture arm inside a consultancy — departs from the standalone fund model, and the firm has not signaled any separate fundraising or external limited partners. Adjacent Sia entities include Sia Experience, a creative and marketing consultancy, and Sia AI, an enterprise AI solutions practice. Studio's model is structurally distinct: it invests off the balance sheet of a services firm rather than deploying third-party capital. That alignment means portfolio company performance can feed directly into consulting mandates, creating a feedback loop between advisory relationships and investment outcomes that a conventional fund cannot replicate. The firm's governance and succession are embedded in Sia's broader partnership structure, which remains privately held.
