Corporate Venturing
A piece here from SAP Ventures on Corporate Venturing in Always On. I’ve been through rather more Corporate Venture departments in the past 3 months than I can remember. I would characterize their business models as more “hopeful” rather than meaningful. The ingredient that seems to be most lacking is the ability to tie the investment in to the existing business units. More time spent in this area could well create better results for them, whether they are principally fund-of-fund investors or B Round direct guys.
Question: "Should corporations retire from direct venture investing and just invest in VC funds or stay away altogether from the current market?"
