Corporate venturing is the practice of established companies directly investing corporate funds into innovative, early stage companies. Beyond capital, the investing company often provides the early stage company with management and marketing expertise as well as strategic guidance.
In this session you will learn what corporate venturing is, the types of opportunities these companies pursue, and hear case studies from prior investments. Please join us to learn how this capital source may apply to your venture and let ACG St. Louis connect you to this important resource in the community.
