I Think that corporates and startups should invest time in aligning their expectations and objectives. Corporates should understand that startups often prioritize market access over funding, while startups should recognize that corporates seek both internal improvements and new offerings for customers. A thorough onboarding process that fosters clear communication of needs and goals can prevent misalignments.
