In this episode of Beyond Startups, we’re joined by Albert Suriñach, founder of Studio Platero, a theatre production company dedicated to transmedia storytelling and artist-led creative work.
Albert discusses the realities of building a company in the arts sector — from navigating non-traditional funding channels, to maintaining team morale without salaries, to collaborating across composition, acting, set design and production. He explains how Studio Platero is expanding into music production, animation and publishing, and why artistic values and long-term vision matter more than shortcuts.
This episode also highlights Studio Platero’s upcoming musical "The Tears of Nerakhis" debuting at the Byre Theatre on February 5th & 6th, showcasing the company’s mission to tell stories across theatre, music, visual media and print.
Tune in to hear how creativity, entrepreneurship and community intersect at Studio Platero.
