Session Description
As corporations increasingly invest in startups for innovation, selecting the right investment model is critical. Should companies invest directly from their balance sheet or establish a fund structure? Do they have a dedicated CVC team or soing adhoc investments from other corporate areas? Is direct invesment more effective than investing through third-party funds? How can corporations measure ROI beyond financial returns?
This interactive roundtable will bring together seasoned CVC leaders and corporations considering launching their own CVC. We will explore different investment models, their strategic implications, and key success factors. The session will begin with insights from leading CVCs, followed by an open discussion where attendees can engage, ask questions, and share perspectives.
