Backing ideas and teams we believe in
The Studio
Eido Studios is a product-driven venture studio founded by entrepreneurs with a proven track record. We invest in remarkable founders and launch our own companies in areas we're deeply passionate about.
Our Approach
We invest meaningful capital into a few carefully selected opportunities each year, enabling deep focus and hands-on support. Our approach provides each company with substantial strategic guidance, operational expertise, and access to exceptional talent and resources to accelerate their success.
The studio was founded by entrepreneurs Darrius Thompson, Blake Machado, and Adrian Bourke, who have built and scaled multiple venture-backed companies.
Our Companies
Promissory
Why we Invested
We backed Brian and Eric for their proven ability to simplify complex financial products at their prior company, Trust & Will. Promissory applies that expertise to an overlooked but critical part of financial planning: helping startup founders, employees, and investors maximize their equity outcomes.
Node Systems
Why we Invested
We invested in Ilia and Nikita because of their technical depth, ingenuity, and determination to tackle hard operational problems. Their work focuses on specialized AI models for real-world environments, where better decisions can directly improve efficiency, speed, and profitability across many industries
Mythic Tools
Why we Invested
We backed Damien and John because they were building the product they wanted as passionate players themselves. Their early traction with MTG creators gave the app credibility and reach, connecting them to a loyal, highly engaged community that values authentic tools built by insiders.
Cars & Bids
Why we Invested
We partnered with Doug because his audience, credibility, and passion positioned him to redefine the online car auction market. Cars & Bids captured the energy of a new generation of enthusiasts, pairing a modern platform with a creator-led community just as the market was ready for change.
EMURJ
Why we Invested
Jennifer’s eye for style, shaped by years in the fashion industry, gave her the instinct to recognize trends early. With that perspective, EMURJ brings emerging designers to the forefront, giving discerning, fashion-forward shoppers access to a distinctive, trend-setting marketplace.

Blake and the Eido Studios team were instrumental in the launch of Cars & Bids. Eido was with us from day one, and we wouldn't have been successful at the incredibly difficult task of launching a business and scaling it without the support we received from the Eido team.
