Outside the Big 3 and Hybe, Starship seems to never fumble the bag. Their groups are not top groups but all make good money: Monsta X, Cosmic Girls, Cravity all have good sales and stable career, and now Ive is shaping up to be the same too. Why are they so successful and what can other mid companies like Woolim, Jellyfish learn from them?
Is Starship the best mid company?

Maybe op didn't include them because they disbanded and all the members left the company

Starshit isnt a mid company though. They are part of Kakao, which is like 100x the size of YGE, SM, and JYP, and owns Melon among other things.
This is what Kakao and Annyoungz (via Izone) popularity can do for a rookie GG:

But for real though. Starship was literally a nugu company with only Sistar and K Will. It was kinda like the Mamamoo of RBW, the BTS of BH, the Big Bang of YG.
It was because of Sistar that made Starship what they are today.

SS owe them so much! and I doubt anyone stanning SS acts will ever forget their faves were able to debut thanks to Sistar raising them from the bottom to being one of the top non-big 3 companies.
I wish they gave the members better options that could allow them to renew contracts (since I'm sad some of them are struggling to find a success solo career) but we can't do anything about it.
Starship is lucky enough their management wasn't as messy as DSP and FNC and they got other popular groups to keep the company afloat after Sistar left, but they still could have doe so much more for the girls...

This reminds me of how Enhypen dorm who has the backing of both CJ and HYBE has to sleep in one room with a bunch of bunk beds.
Starship certainly has the ability to pay, considering how they manage to get award shows to nominate and sometimes win categories which only big groups should win and they somehow punch above their weight against the likes of NCT and SVT strangely

But I think Ive has Wonyoung and Yujin who has made lots of money already, while Enhypen came out of a show with $20 million budget so they’ve earned nothing only made loss to the company? Even then their dorm are not too bad and they probably have upgraded with how much they’re selling now.

i don't think the contracts were the problem, the members wanted different things, Hyorin wanted a solo career and the members said if one member don't want to continue, they will disband.
