𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬? Research conducted by the World Economic Forum (2014) showed that successful innovations predominantly occur within so-called innovation clusters (such as Silicon Valley). In these startup ecosystems, all the necessary elements come together to make an idea successful: Founders, investors, talents, customers, universities, specialized agencies, consultancies, law firms, and established yet innovative companies. Despite this, the Corporate Innovation Report published by hy – the Axel Springer Consulting Group last year showed that the potential for collaboration between incumbents and startups has not yet been fully exploited. With 43%, nearly half of the surveyed companies indicated plans for increased cooperation with startups. The question then arises: How can and will this collaboration look like? The three main pillars of a startup ecosystem are 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬, 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, and 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭. In all these areas, established companies can successfully collaborate with startups. They can provide capital and invest in startups (𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥), nurture their own ideas and found startups (𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠), or help startups validate and improve their products as early customers through 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 projects. Of course, the three approaches have different objectives, but it would be fascinating to hear your thoughts. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬?

It seems that due to its low risk and fast ramp up venture clienting is becoming very popular these days although it’s something that has been around for years. More experienced companies move to creating their CVC, in combination with venture clienting an effective tool combination to achieve strategic impact. Anyways I don’t believe CVCs should pursue and can be successful in a financial play if your sole investor is a double digit bn EUR P&L. Venture Building stands out as the boss level in innovation, it’s heavy though in terms of capital and human capital and you need experienced people to adapt the process and methodology, then the questions arise on cap tables, hiring , compensation and IP spin off, a fascinating game imho. In summary, also given the macroeconomics and to answer your question Simon Walter, venture client we will see more, CVC remain steady and a few but bold venture building activities is what we will see in the tactical future 🎤
