The Problem
The Problem
Over the last years, many corporates have significantly invested in generating new business beyond the core by building corporate ventures and investing corporate venture capital. However, a lot of these ventures fall short of expectations or are even endangered by liquidation.
The Reasons
Reasons for failure are multifaceted. While corporate venturing remains a higher-risk asset class with success rates between 20%-60% on a portfolio level, we often observe evitable mistakes on a venture level. Some typical examples are procrastination of much-needed business model pivot, the inability to leverage the corporate’s unfair advantage, lack of suitable talent, or no clear go-to-market approach with missing focus to fill the sales pipeline.
