Corporate venture capital investments have decreased over the past two years, with U.S.-based corporate investors involved in only 1,385 deals by mid-2024, maintaining last year's pace but significantly lower than in 2022. Despite prominent funding rounds, including Alphabet's $5 billion in Waymo and Disney's $1.5 billion in Epic Games, the overall deal flow remains low. Early-stage funding has seen 489 deals this year, down from over 700, while later-stage funding reflects a decrease from 270 in 2023 to 190 deals. Google Ventures leads in deal counts with 46 rounds, followed by Coinbase Ventures at 30, Samsung Next at 27, Salesforce Ventures tied at 26, and Nvidia at 21 rounds. A growing portion of U.S. startup funding is sourced from rounds backed by corporate investors, yet total deal numbers and investment capital are contracting, indicating that high-profile deals do not equate to increased corporate engagement. Data was collected as of September 13, 2024, focusing on corporate venture capital transactions to detail investment trends.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

A Deep Dive into Finding Product Market Fit with Sean Sheppard, Venture Capitalist and Managing Partner at Corporate Venture Builder U+. Are you an early-stage startup struggling to attract investors and find product-market fit? Do you ever wonder what you might be missing when it comes to presenting to VCs? Well, we recently spoke with the brilliant mind that is Sean, and he dropped some major knowledge bombs on the subject. Sean is a savvy serial entrepreneur, who knows how to make a business boom! With three successful exits and a background in Venture Capital, Sean is the Managing Partner at Corporate Venture Builder U+. For over 30 years, Sean has been bringing new products to market as a five-times sales founder. With his extensive experience and expertise, he helps startups find their footing in the industry and develop predictable revenue models. It's no wonder Sean has been recognized as one of the Top Sales Influencers You Should Be Following on social media. Transparency is the Key in Entrepreneurial Ventures You know that feeling when someone isn't being totally honest with you? Well, that's exactly what gets VC investors like our speaker here worried. In our conversation with Sean, he pointed out that most young start-ups often lack honesty when presenting to VCs. And that's a big issue because finding product market fit is a tough journey. “...tell me what you don't know and how you're going to find out; to be a learner at all instead of a know-it-all and have that growth mindset...embrace ambiguity. Replace the word rejection in your vocabulary with feedback, and you see feedback as a gift...” ---Sean Sheppard It's not just about what entrepreneurs are holding back from investors; it's about their attitude towards learning and growth. Building a successful startup isn't just about having a great idea or cool technology... It's about understanding the problem you're trying to solve, and the people you're trying to solve it for. Balancing Immediate Gains with Long-Term Strategy One of the pressing topics about market strategy is the difference in mindset between those who prioritize short-term gains and those with a strategic understanding of technology companies. Sean explains why Wall Street guys tend to prioritize quarterly earnings... While those with a strategic understanding of technology companies can see the bigger picture. Adobe's acquisition of Figma is an example. Sean emphasizes the importance and the need to adapt between generational demographics and to own relationships with customers to stay on top in the long run “...if you don't adapt, you are going to die... that doesn't mean you can't reinvent yourself tomorrow. I think everybody can and everybody should. But you have to stay out in front to stay relevant. And that means understanding the Gen Z demographic versus the millennial demographic...” ---Sean Sheppard Sean's Insight about the Shift of the Knowledge-Worker to Intellectual Capitalist “The way that we're investing now is we're giving less money to more companies earlier on...Because applied technology means anybody can do it … and that measured by the cost acquire customer over the customer lifetime value...and it was because they could find product market fit, and they understood the real problem.” - Sean SheppardThis is the age of infinite leverage. In today's age of applied...

Should you take money from a corporate venture arm? Here are some quick Pros and Cons of doing so:Pros: They can be very strategic in making industry connections (especially with other companies they have invested in They can often become a customer themselves Bring technical expertise and resources unavailable to early-stage venture companies Cons: Often have conflicting mandates, invest for return and invest in finding acquisitions Due to incentives many of the partners at CVC's leave (which is your internal champion) At times there are inferior terms (exclusivity on acquisitions, Right of first refusal, and in the worst case invest to stamp out competition). While they could become customers, CVCs are often on an island and don't speak for the company in becoming a customer

It's hard to think about tech startups without thinking US and Israel, just like it's impossible for corporations to ignore digital transformation. In Brazil, there's one venture capital firm that is bundling all of that together, by investing in some of the most innovative companies abroad, bringing them to Latin America, and connecting them with big local companies to accelerate their adoption of technology.Mindset Ventures was co-founded by Camila Folkmann, one of the first Brazilian female founders of a Venture Capital firm. Camila started her career as a corporate lawyer, having worked for major law firms assisting Fortune 500 clients, but made a quick transition to startup and VC life after spending some time in the Bay Area. Back in Brazil, she was looking for opportunities to stay close to the ecosystem, which led her to join Acelera Partners, an investment holding spearheaded by Microsoft.There, she met her co-founder, Daniel Ibri, and they found out they had similar visions, eventually translated into Mindset Venture's thesis. Today, Camila shares not only what that is and how they invest, but also:Her insights into the Israeli entrepreneurial cultureThe biggest challenges for companies from Israel and the US to come to Latin AmericaAnd what to be aware of when accepting corporations to your cap tableStarting something new?Visit latitud.com to learn about the Latitud Fellowship program.

Inovação para grandes empresas & crescimento para startups. O episódio de hoje é o primeiro de uma série de conversas sobre Corporate Venture, essa relação empresa - empreendedor que está transformando o ambiente de negócios do Brasil. A aproximação entre grandes empresas e startups traz a colaboração necessária para aumentar competitividade e inteligência nos negócios:para as grandes empresas, essa aproximação pode acelerar a inovação no desenvolvimento de novos produtos e serviços – e facilitar a entrada em mercados não explorados. Para as startups, o relacionamento com grandes empresas pode ser a chave em suas estratégias de crescimento. Pra discutir esse assunto, o convidado não poderia ser outro: quem veio tomar um #CaféComigo hoje é um dos mineiros mais queridos do cenário digital: Paulo Costa, que hoje ocupa o crachá de Inovação Aberta da Accenture.

I’m sure you've heard a lot about Tyson Foods investing in a lot of cutting edge companies. Beyond Meat, Memphis Meats, and Tovala to name a few. I wanted to get to the bottom of this, so I asked Tom Mastrobuoni to talk about the reasons why Tyson is putting a stake into these companies. His answer surprised me. To get ahead and be truly innovative, Tyson knows that it has to be invested in these up and coming companies. I learned the complexities of why it’s a win-win situation for companies to partner with Tyson. For one, Tyson has a vast array of resources to help any food company out. The new food companies just have to innovative. One of the most valuable things in the interview is talking with Tom about the newest trends. Because Tom is at the cutting edge of the industry, I asked for his opinion on plant-based foods, clean meat, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, among others. If you want to know the hottest and most game changing food technologies, this is the episode you should listen to. I hope it inspires you to think big!

Show Notes Michael Wolfe, The Spoon Fancy Food Show Do you have any airplane tips?: Nope! The aisle seat is better than middle sitting When someone asks what you do for a living, what do you do?: We run the venture arm of Tyson foods and we’re reinventing Tyson Foods What caused this?: We saw a shift in consumer demands and we needed to keep up. Tyson is 80 years old We’re a 2500 team with 100 location We not only do meat, but preprared foods 2nd largest producer of tortillas Tyson Ventures, a subsidiary: Focus on two things, sustainability and the internet of food Reese Schroder: Expert at Corporate Venturing Justin Whitmore: Executive VP of corporate strategy Chief Financial Officer: What does that mean? Well, technically, I’ve extended the role. I’m CFO+ now. Even though I still have to do financials, I love to work closely and source new ideas. Was being a CFO+ a requirement or a passion?: A passion. You have to work with people and connect with people, and understand their story. What is the misconception you like to dispel about Tyson?: If we invest in a company, that doesn’t mean we’re shifting completely to this. Tyson is big, we need to think how to handle disruption, so we look down the road in 5 to 10 years. We’re not shifting, we’re exploring In a theory point of view, investing in “competitors” is easy, executing it is super hard. The top leadership must be on board. Corporate Venture can be a force multiplier Tyson petfood Tyson tannery business (leather) When we approach a company, we don’t want to acquire it, but we want to be around it Describe the Steps to get to where you are today: Villanova University in Public Accounting Worked in New York around the big accounting firms, ended up creating own firm Opportunity for Tyson came up, everyone eats and I’m having a lot of fun. Tyson isn’t about making a profit or sucking up IP, we want to add value to companies and we have the resources How do you get to Tom’s level?: Do deals. Get a degree in accounting or financing. If you audit them, you can do it How did you apply for the job?: I applied for this job at an online job board Advanced Venture Partners Augusta Columbia Capital Good reputations are hard earned, they give the bad ones for free How do you find your deals?: Mainly our two pillars. Sustainability: Either alternative proteins or food waste fits in these pillars. Internet of Food: Disruptive marketing techniques, factory monitoring, enhancement of sustainability Perfect Day Tovalo Foodbytes How do you pitch an idea?: We find them, and they find us. But, we also look for competitors in that space and see who disrupts them. How to find competitors: Pitchbook, google, etc. We find competitors who are doing things more quietly, more thoughtfully, etc. How does interacting a deal work?: We usually email you with info about Tyson Ventures. 98% of the time, the company is super excited. We then have a 60-90 minute interview with a Subject Matter Expert at Tyson to grill the company. The results can range from pilot to non-investment collaborations. We want to add value to day one. Tyson is doing this so intimately because Tyson is a people business. We invest in the network. We make those warm introductions for them and it builds the network. Why Does Your Food job Rock?: Global Corporate Summit in California, my boss said I have a really cool job. I have the opportunity to change Tyson and I’m empowered to do so What is the most prominent or popular place for food companies? There are so many emerging ecosystems 1871 Plug and Play Chicagoland Food and Beverage The Hatchery, Chicago There’s so many and we don’t have the time to go to them Tyson Innovation Lab Let’s talk trends and technologies Plant Based Meat: On the board for Beyond Meat. Because they are targeting a bigger target market, and they have crisp distributions, this made sense. This is proof that this is not going away any time soon Clean Meat: Commercilization is up for grabs, I predict that once someone gets ahead, they will buy up their competitors. Really interesting space, we’d love to talk to people and give them resources. Poultry Science at the University of Arkansas. Though a long way away, we still need to know how to market it. We think food deserts and emerging nations would be the best avenue Complex=Expensive Internet of Things (for Food): Tovala, for example. Direct to Consumer is not a familiar angle for us. In Michael Wolfe’s podcast, you mentioned that you can get data from consumers really fast. Data is king for a consumer product. It’s changed so fast. Before, I had to write a letter to an airline. Now I can send an email and get my rewards points 30 seconds later. By investing in Tovala, we can get so much data on what they like and what didn’t they like. Uber is like hitchhiking on your phone. Tovala has their own forum where they can troubleshoot and innovate. We brought Tovala and Beyond Meat to our R+D Lab and asked how we can partner up. Blockchain: We have had meetings on blockchain to have more meetings about blockchain. We’ve announced IBM and Walmart partnerships. Most blockchain companies are hyper-focused SOX Compliance Someone has to be the certifying body for blockchain Artificial Intelligence, AR, VR: Safety AR VR might help with making the factory more safer We are looking into robotics and exoskeletons. Also market research is important. Upward Academy In all aspects, AI, AR, VR best in safety for the workers. Food Desserts: We’re working on making food cheaper and more affordable. The challenge is that doing this is a triple bottom line issue with profits. We want more community leaders to tell us how we can help. This is important. Do you have any advice for anyone to tackle something big?: Have the passion for it. Any time you do something big, it’ll be hard. Understand their perspective, why they’ll say no, and get them to yes. Books: Good to Great Where can we find you?: LinkedIn. Please make your profile open. I’m on twitter. Google Tyson Ventures that you can submit a form.

No podcast dessa semana, direcionado ao empreendedorismo, o host Leonardo Leitão conversa com Raphael Gonçalves e Leo Lacerda sobre o tema: “Acelerando Ideias, transformando o mundo!”. Leo Lacerda é mestre em Administração de Empresas, empreendedor, pesquisador, professor e especialista em growth marketing e comportamento do consumidor. Criador do curso Growth Marketing Estratégico, é cofundador da Wave Accelerator (aceleradora de startups) e da Adm School (escola de Administração para não-administradores).Raphael Gonçalves é engenheiro de produção, com ênfase em Engenharia Econômica e desde 2012, atua em projetos de inovação, criação e desenvolvimento de startups, em setores como biotecnologia, digital health, óleo e gás, TI, mobile, e-commerce, mídia. É sócio/consultor na Elogroup e está à frente do braço de Corporate Venture do grupo. Atualmente é gestor da Casa Azul Ventures, aceleradora de startups do O POVO e EloGroup.“Aprender para queimar, tradução direta do inglês. Você começa com alta incerteza. A lógica da startup enxuta é que você vai comprometendo recurso à medida que aprende e com isso diminui incerteza”, explica Raphael sobre o conceito de startup.
Jay talks to Andrew Gaule about the investments Propel is making in Fintech and technology to support the BBVA Bank. The reasons for having a GP and LP structure are also well explained. How do we deal with new technology and the challenge of new business models is addressed with insights to the Aimava Innovative New Value Chains.
Every big technological shift (per Carlota Perez) brings with a structural shift too — an “institutional adjustment” in how companies innovated and build new products, according to Steve Blank and Evangelos Simoudis. Large organizations used to (and continue to) set up remote R&D labs in places like Silicon Valley. But now, those companies are also investing more energy and resources in setting up corporate venturing arms and/or “innovation outposts” in such startup ecosystems — especially as they believe that startup-driven innovation is one of the best ways to keep up with and address disruption in their industries. But… it's not enough to simply establish a presence in these places; how do you also “sense” and respond to the right opportunities? Are they in the right places? Does beginning with corporate venturing really work for such outposts? And finally, how can these orgs avoid just acting out “innovation theater”? Simoudis — who has also written about whether “the elephant can dance again” using the case of IBM and Watson/ AI — offers his views on how big companies can and should use the Valley (and other innovation clusters) in this episode of the a16z Podcast.
