Venture Investors Connecting the Fastest Growing Startups to the World’s Biggest Companies
the Problem
X For Big Companies: No matter the stage of the process, Fortune 500s face challenges when sourcing and engaging external technology companies. The existing process is inefficient, resulting in wasted resources and failed pilots.X For Startups: Amazing technology companies with real traction lack access to show their validated solutions to corporates. Getting in the door is hard.
What Goes Wrong?
X Sourcing & Exposure: Corporates only see their pipeline with no visibility into what others are doing. X Inefficient Pilots: Limited knowledge of prospective partners leads to failed pilots with premature companies. X Bandwidth: Sourcing and business development both require multiple full time employees.X Engagement Administration: Complicated engagement structures decrease standardization, increasing risk and costs.
