Corporate Venturing

We support companies with outside-in (open innovation - utilitzing the innovation power of startups) and inside-out innovation (spin-outs, strategic partnerships, co-investors).

Our team is active in corporate venturing for over 20 years. We are strategy leaders and based on 2 decades of experience we are strong on delivering measurable results: consulting for results!

Our corporate venturing practice is headed by Dr. Christian Suttner. He has lead a corporate incubator, worked at a VC, participated in Silicon Valley accelerators and founded several startups himself. For clients he designed and implemented corporate venture capital outfits, incubators, accelerators, and performed performance reviews. He also lead / supported several spin-outs - from corporates and research institutions. Based on his long term experience and knowledge of current best practices we developed leading edge methodologies for various corporate venturing tasks.

There are 4 fundamental reasons for working with startups:

Based on the intended goals, there is a variety of tools to address them. We focus on the best possible RoI, ensuring the money spent provides measurable progress towards the intended goals.
