Corporate partners the Innovation Fast Track As technology accelerates, so does the pace of change. Entrepreneurs are constantly seeking to disrupt markets by leveraging emerging technologies. As a result, large organizations are at risk of losing their competitive edge, especially if they don’t see market threats until after they’ve established traction. To help corporations keep up, we partner with their innovation leaders to identify, access and adopt viable technology solutions that address market pain points. We work as an extension of their teams, often sharing co-investment structures to provide the necessary capital to accelerate development and testing. Once the technology proves value inside the organization, we support expansion to new markets, ultimately generating additional revenue streams.

Once a corporation has pinpointed a market problem, we source and vet solutions developed by emerging technology businesses from around the world. We structure pilot programs and codevelopment engagements that prove market fit and deliver venture investment opportunities.
We help our corporate partners identify and prioritize the ideas generated inside their organizations. For opportunities with high-performance potential, we build roadmaps to spin out and fund these new startups. We activate our advisory services and resource connections to accelerate venture formation in support of corporate goals.
