Corporate Venture study

What makes corporate ventures successful

Practical insights on how to make your corporate venture a success from 40+ leading corporates in the German-speaking region.

What is it about

Innovation needs a different setting, management, and mindset than that required for day-to-day corporate business. Whilst many corporates have already established dedicated innovation departments or intrapreneurship programs plenty of promising projects still buzz around in the corporate world without any clear direction. In our study, we shed light on how corporates have successfully implemented radical and disruptive innovations through corporate venture building.

Who is it for

The insight provided by this study will help to set the foundation for top management and senior innovation managers (as well as future project leads of corporate startups) to successfully set up and steer innovation projects within the corporate environment.

Main takeaways

We use our proven framework to build new ventures

Get started with the right setup

Our tip: Evaluate the fit of the corporate startup to the corporate vision, strategy and portfolio of the mother company from the very start of every open innovation project.

Find out early if you should spin off

Our tip: Innovation projects that are far removed from the core business or operate under a different business model are likely to backslide in a corporate environment. Consider spinning those corporate ventures off early to let them flourish.

Gain key stakeholder commitment for your project

Our tip: Corporates and startups operate on two different paradigms which makes stakeholder management even more critical, and challenging.
