Making Science Unveils ‘AWAKE’: The AI Venture Studio Industrialising Startup Creation and AI-First Innovative Solutions

Making Science, the global digital acceleration consultancy, today announced the launch of AWAKE Venture Studio. This "AI-first" model represents a new era in systematic innovation, designed to identify, prototype, and scale both internal proprietary solutions and independent AI-native startups with global reach.

The launch of AWAKE is motivated by the significant efficiency gains of orders of magnitude that Making Science has already achieved through the internal integration of AI. By applying these methods, the firm has achieved a 2x acceleration in tech feature development reducing time in the deployment of AI Agents. This model has already proven its commercial and innovative power through the acceleration of startups like ad-machina, which has multiplied its value by 10 since joining the Making Science ecosystem. These proven benchmarks serve as the technical foundation for AWAKE’s two interconnected engines, which formalise this efficiency into a repeatable manufacturing process for innovation.

This process begins with AI Create, a discovery and validation engine that uses internal AI tools for trend monitoring and horizon scanning. Validated concepts then transition immediately into AI Forge, the building and scaling engine. AWAKE is built upon core pillars—AI-first thinking, Global Integration, and Shared Infrastructure—that work in tandem to eliminate the traditional frictions of the startup lifecycle. By prioritising opportunities where autonomous agents and foundational models provide a 10x competitive advantage, AWAKE ensures every project has an AI-native DNA. This is amplified by a global operational structure that leverages distributed technology hubs in Chicago, Madrid, and Tbilisi, ensuring that ventures are born with a global value proposition and access to international talent from day one. By utilising a centralised infrastructure backbone, AWAKE drastically reduces the time and resources required for launch, allowing talent to focus relentlessly on disruption and market leadership.

A Declaration of Intent for the AI Era

"AWAKE is more than a venture studio; it is a declaration of intent to industrialise the next generation of AI-native solutions," said José Antonio Martínez Aguilar, CEO and Founder of Making Science. "We have already seen the impact of this model within our own walls. By establishing this repeatable engine, we are freeing entrepreneurial talent to focus relentlessly on scale. Whether we are forging a new internal tool or a global startup, Making Science’s expertise in data and AI is the backbone of that evolution."
