"Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) teams - internal investment groups within a corporation - often struggle with staff turnover. This creates a major challenge since they lose institutional knowledge, startup relationships, their deal pipeline and a great deal of expertise."
"Innovation is critical for corporations to compete. Disruptive innovation, which comes from startups seeking to disrupt current business models, gives them the chance to gain customers and market share. By contrast, investing in startups is a more effective way for corporations to become more innovative."
"Many corporations find that the solution is Venture Capital-as-a-Service (VCaaS). VCaaS eliminates costly turnover by providing experienced investors and consistent deal execution. Outsourcing to VCaaS lets corporations focus on strategy while experts handle venture investing."
Corporate venture capital teams face significant challenges from staff turnover, losing institutional knowledge, startup relationships, deal pipelines, and expertise. Innovation is critical for corporations to compete through sustaining improvements or disruptive market approaches. Internal R&D struggles to find truly innovative ideas within company walls, while university partnerships move slowly. Startup investment offers a more effective innovation path. VCaaS addresses turnover problems by outsourcing venture investing to experienced professionals, allowing corporations to maintain consistent deal execution and investor relationships without the costs and disruptions of internal team changes.
