Podcasts about CVC

What does “smart money” actually mean in beverage — especially in one of the most capital-intensive categories in CPG?In this sponsored episode, we sit down with Karen Xiang, Investment Lead at Btomorrow Ventures, the corporate venture arm backed by British American Tobacco. And we go deep into how corporate venture capital is evolving — and what it really means for founders building functional and full-size beverage brands today.Btomorrow Ventures (BTV) is not a traditional VC fund. With a £150M first fund and a newly launched £200M second fund, BTV is investing across “better brands” and “better habits” — with a particular focus in the U.S. on full-size functional beverages and functional snacks. But capital is only part of the story.Karen explains how BTV's new in-house growth platform is designed to unlock operating leverage — connecting portfolio brands to distribution pilots, commercialization support, data analytics, and internal expertise inside a global FMCG infrastructure.For founders, this episode is an insightful discussion about:•  What corporate venture capital (CVC) actually is — and how it differs from traditional VC•  What to ask before taking strategic capital•  Why beverage remains a difficult category for many VCs — and what that means for your cap table•  How to think about partnering with strategics without becoming “the last fry on the truck”Karen also offers a thoughtful framework for avoiding trend-chasing in drinks. In a world of protein pivots and format fads, she argues that fundamentals — consumer clarity, occasion ownership, distribution sequencing — still win over time.For investors, we explore how BTV thinks about co-investing rather than competing — and why having a strategic partner on the cap table can accelerate growth across the entire syndicate.If you're a founder navigating functional beverage, a co-investor evaluating corporate capital, or an operator thinking about long-term category shifts, this episode offers a rare inside look at how one of the industry's more nuanced CVC models is building in the U.S.As always, we focus on the mechanics of growth — not just the headline numbers, but how brands actually scale.Listen in for a grounded, strategic conversation about capital, distribution, and the future of value-add investing in drinks.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

This week on the AmplifyME Market Maker Podcast, Anthony goes solo to break down three big stories — a $58 billion oil merger, a pulled tech IPO, and private equity's move into Indian cricket — all tied together by one theme: survival in the age of AI.In energy, Devon Energy and Coterra Energy are merging to focus on efficiency and basin concentration as shale matures.In tech, Blackstone-backed Liftoff Mobile paused its IPO after AI tools like Anthropic's Claude Cowork cast doubt on the traditional per-seat SaaS model.And in sport, firms including Blackstone, KKR, and CVC are betting on the Indian Premier League, drawn to the scarcity and predictable cash flows of live, un-automatable experiences.From oil to software to sport, this episode explores how capital is repositioning for a world where defensibility and efficiency matter more than ever.(00:00) Intro & Themes in Focus(01:23) Oil Mega-Merger(03:23) AI & The SaaS Shock(05:59) Private Equity Buys Cricket(08:11) The Big PictureWant experience what it would be like to be an M&A adviser?

In this EUVC Live at GoWest episode, Olivier Tonneau, Founding Partner Quantonation, Jeppe Høier, Co-Host at EUVC Corporate, Paolo Pio, Co-founder and General Partner at Exceptional Ventures, Fergus Bell, Founder and Managing Partner at The Players Fund, and Prashant Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director at Scandian xplore one defining question:How does Europe turn frontier innovation into global scale?Across quantum, corporate capital, longevity, and sport, the same pattern emerges: Europe doesn't lack talent or research. It lacks the capital and market architecture required to scale strategic industries fast enough to stay independent.Olivier opens with Europe's quantum paradox. Europe supplies a meaningful share of deployed quantum computers globally, with strong startup and research clusters across the Nordics, France, Germany, and the UK. The science is world-class — but the financing is breaking. Over the last 12 months, the funding ratio between Europe and the US has shifted from roughly 1:2 to nearly 1:7, accelerating US scale-up, public listings, and acquisition pressure. Europe has 12–24 months to respond — not to avoid failure, but to avoid becoming the lab while others become the market.Jeppe shifts the lens to corporates. Corporate venture capital represents roughly 25% of global VC volume, yet the average lifespan of a CVC unit is only 3.7 years. His argument is blunt: most corporates launch venture arms believing they are “doing VC,” when they are actually building a strategic instrument without the operating system required to sustain it. Without durable governance — and a clear Build, Buy, Partner model — corporate venture becomes fragile instead of strategic.Paolo reframes health and longevity as deep tech moving at software speed. Genome sequencing has collapsed from decades to hours. mRNA proved that biology timelines can compress dramatically. With AI now embedded in diagnostics and discovery, health is entering an exponential era — and venture is being pulled with it.The session closes with a thesis most investors still underestimate. Fergus and Prashant argue sport is no longer entertainment — it is venture infrastructure. Athletes and rights holders are becoming capital allocators and distribution rails. Elite sport has evolved into a real-world deployment environment for deep tech, health tech, AI, and performance systems — where validation happens under pressure and at global scale.The takeaway across all five perspectives is clear:Europe invents early.But scale requires architecture.Late-stage capital depth.Liquidity.Corporate integration.Coordination.What's covered:00:30 Europe's scale question — five lenses on one problem02:00 Quantum's paradox — Europe leads in science, not in financing05:00 The 1:7 funding gap — why the next 12–24 months matter07:00 What Europe can do — capital architecture, procurement, scale funds11:30 Corporate venture — 25% of global VC, but structurally fragile13:30 Why CVCs fail — the 3-year vs 6-year test and governance gaps16:30 Longevity as deep tech — health moving at software speed21:30 AI in health — diagnostics, discovery, and exponential biology27:30 Sport as venture infrastructure — athletes and rights holders as rails34:30 Deep tech in sport — validation, performance systems, adoption under pressure40:00 Final takeaway — Europe has innovation; it needs scale architecture

Send a textA lot of bright kids are still stuck on the basics of reading, and too many parents are told to wait—or sold cures that don't work. We sit down with dyslexia therapist Faye Bankler Cressell to unpack what actually helps struggling readers and how families can start real progress at home without losing years to red tape.Faye shares her path from special education to structured literacy, sparked by helping her own child during lockdown. She explains why the science of reading matters, what structured literacy looks like in daily practice, and how to tell evidence-based intervention from high-priced “brain training” that promises big results but delivers little. We get specific about foundational skills—phonemic awareness, sound-symbol mapping, CVC decoding, early syllable work—and how systematic, cumulative lessons rewire reading pathways across phonology, orthography, and morphology.We also talk about the power of telling kids their diagnosis in clear, respectful language. When children know what dyslexia means, shame fades and self-advocacy begins. That confidence scales into high school, college, and the workplace, where naming strengths and supports becomes a strategy for excellence. Faye introduces her Home Reading Coach program, a 13‑week, parent-led course designed to be affordable, practical, and aligned with what research says works. Think printable materials, guided videos, and coaching that help families move from ABC to CVC and into early two-syllable patterns—with measurable wins that build momentum.If you're navigating testing, IEEs, IEP meetings, or just wondering where to begin, you'll find a clear roadmap plus vetted resources and communities like Decoding Dyslexia. You don't need to wait for formal labels to take action; explicit instruction has no downside and a massive upside.

In Japan boekte de partij van premier Takaichi zondag een onverwacht grote overwinning bij verkiezingen die zij zelf had uitgeschreven. Haar LDP heeft nu twee derde van de zetels in handen. Dat betekent dat Takaichi haar agenda kan uitvoeren zonder compromissen te hoeven sluiten met andere partijen. Wat voor gevolgen heeft dat voor de Japanse economie? We bespreken het met beursredacteur Joost van Kuppeveld. Lees: Nieuwe beursrecords in Japan na grote verkiezingswinst premier Takaichi Iemand die moet wachten tot zijn of haar elektrische auto is opgeladen, is natuurlijk de ideale klant voor een hapje en een drankje. Die ingeving had snellaadbedrijf Fastned ook, en daarom werkt het aan kleine en grotere shops bij de laadpunten. Tot grote ergernis van de pomphouders, die winkels als een van hun voornaamste inkomstenbronnen zien. Als de concurrentie om de snelwegconsument toeneemt, stijgen de benzineprijzen om de verloren winsten te compenseren? We leggen het voor aan retailredacteur Evi Timp. Lees: Fastned en tankstations vechten om de snelwegconsument Het heeft even geduurd, maar nu is de verkoop van de diervoedingstak van DSM-Firmenich aan private-equityfirma CVC een feit. De deal leek sinds de zomer al rond, waarom duurde het dan toch nog zo lang? Welk bedrag betaalt CVC uiteindelijk? En wat zijn de andere voorwaarden van de deal?

Soms zou je het bijna vergeten: bedrijven zijn beursgenoteerd omdat ze geld op hebben gehaald. De aandelen mogen beleggers onderling verhandelen. Soms levert dat niks op. Ja, wel voor het bedrijf, maar niet voor beleggers. Alleen Advent, de private-equity-boer die InPost nu weer van de beurs helpt halen, drukte er geld mee. Wat ze ermee moeten, bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook over DSM-Firmenich, dat nu ein-de-lijk de tak voor diervoeding en vitaminen de deur uit heeft gekregen. Beleggers gooien DSM meteen maar weer van de trap af, want na maanden onderhandelen valt de prijs flink tegen. Het bedrijf moet 1,9 miljard euro afschrijven in een deal waar (opnieuw...) enkel private equity blij van wordt. Maar misschien kan de waardering van DSM binnenkort wel wat hoger, als de cijfers minder schommelen vanwege de volatiele vitaminenprijs.

The clock is ticking the minute a critically ill patient arrives in your clinic and requires long-term venous access. The choice between a traditional central venous catheter (CVC) and a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is more than just a matter of location; it's a decision that impacts everything you do for the patient. Tune in to this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast to navigate the ins and outs of each option—including central line and PICC line differences and advantages, where they can be utilized best, what to monitor for and how to sample from a central line—so that you can make the most informed choice for these patients.

This week, we tackle one of the biggest trends in corporate innovation: Corporate Venturing. With AI compressing innovation cycles, the largest tech companies—Microsoft, NVIDIA, Salesforce, Intel, Samsung—are pouring capital into corporate venture programs. CVC-backed funding hit $66 billion in 2024, up 20% year-over-year, with AI startups capturing 37% of every dollar invested. Corporate venturing has never been more important—or more expensive.But here's the staggering reality: Less than 4% of CVC-backed companies are ever acquired by their corporate investors. The average CVC program requires $50-500 million in fund capital, a team of 3-7 dedicated professionals, and 5-10 years before seeing meaningful returns. And 80% of those investments will fail to return capital.This creates a question: Is there a better way to achieve the innovation outcomes that motivate corporate venturing—market intelligence, product innovation, competitive advantage—without the decade-long timeline, massive capital commitment, and venture-style failure rates?Jay and Jared break down the corporate venturing model using Jobs-To-Be-Done theory, revealing why traditional CVC programs struggle with the tension between venture speed and corporate governance. More importantly, they unveil how the JTBD methodology can deliver the same strategic outcomes companies seek from corporate venturing, but in weeks instead of years, and at a fraction of the cost.Is corporate venturing the right innovation strategy for the AI era, or is there a faster, lower-risk path to capturing growth and defending against disruption?✅ Download our Executive White Paper: "How to Use JTBD To Grow Faster"

Alex Payne and Mike Tindall dive into the seismic news of ITV securing the rights to the New Nations Series from 2026-2028, making them the undisputed home of English international rugby. Next year will be the first time in 30 years that all England games will be free to air. We ask… Is this the best thing to happen to the English game since 2003? Is rugby finally ready to grasp the opportunity of free-to-air coverage to widen the sport's appeal. We're joined by Ben Rumsby, Sports Investigations Reporter for The Daily Telegraph, for a deep dive into the state of the sports broadcasting landscape. Plus, England Sevens legend Ollie Phillips dials in to share the truly bonkers challenge he's about to undertake: rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic for three incredible causes (Cure Parkinson's, My Name's Dottie, and the Matt Hampson Foundation). Good luck, Ollie! 00:00

Breaking into VC is harder than breaking into professional sports — literally. In this episode, Intuit Ventures investor Tanvi Lal explains why VC recruiting is so broken, why most people don't actually know why they want to be in venture, and how she finally cracked the code after dozens of rejections.We dive into: • Why VC hiring is a “barter system of social capital” • The #1 mistake candidates make when trying to break in • How corporate VC really works behind the scenes • Why AI + accounting might be fintech's wildest opportunity • How founders should think about taking CVC money • The difference between real ARR vs “founder math”If you're exploring VC, raising from VC, or trying to understand AI's impact on finance — this conversation hits.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

Corporate venture capital isn't just having “a bit of VC on the side.” Done well, it's a strategic lens on the future. Done badly, it's a short-lived pet project with a half-life of 3.7 years and a trail of confused founders and annoyed co-investors.In this episode, we sit down with Martin Scherrer, Partner & Head of Managed Funds at Redstone, alongside our own CVC lead Jeppe Høier, to unpack what really happens when corporates leave venture — and how to do it without destroying value or reputation.Redstone runs a dual model: classic VC funds + “VC-as-a-Service” for corporates and family offices. Martin himself has lived three lives:Inside Swiss Re's CVC (later shut down)As a founder of an insurtech in SwitzerlandNow as VC & fund manager at Redstone across multiple corporate mandates.

Een derde van de waarde is verloren gegaan sinds de piek van het aandeel Oracle in september. Toen explodeerde de koers nog na een deal met OpenAI. Dat ging voor 300 miljard dollar aan clouddiensten afnemen, en daar waren beleggers nogal blij mee. Maar in de afgelopen weken lijken ze van gedachten veranderd. Er is wat twijfel geweest over de hoge waarderingen van techaandelen, er is wat gesnoeid in die waarderingen ook. En Oracle komt er niet best uit: die daalt het hardst van allemaal. Zijn ze de enige, of de eerste die het te verduren krijgen? Het antwoord op die vraag hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het ook over het dubbele afscheid van de week. Warren Buffett schreef een afscheidsbrief, en de beruchte Michael Burry sluit de deuren van zijn investeringsfonds. We vertellen je welke lessen je van deze 2 gurus moet onthouden. Je hoort over de eerste kwartaalcijfers van CVC Capital sinds hun intrede in de AEX. Die eerste paar maanden zijn niet fantastisch geweest. Het aandeel lijkt dit jaar alleen maar te kunnen verliezen. Terwijl CVC zelf juist nog nooit zo veel geld binnenharkte. En we hebben ook nog twee sappige verhalen voor je. Want twee grote klanten van Nvidia blijken keihard te lobbyen voor wetgeving die Nvidia liever niet van kracht ziet worden. En bij Aston Martin blijkt de bestuursvoorzitter op eigen houtje gesprekken te voeren om het bedrijf van de beurs te laten halen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your company is launching its own corporate venture capital (CVC) fund. Suddenly, traditional financial models don't apply. Corporate Venture Capital is a unique, high-variance asset class that demands a new strategic mindset from finance professionals.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we unpack Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), exploring its dual motive (strategic innovation vs. financial return) and revealing the practical frameworks needed to manage this hybrid investment effectively.This episode covers:CVC: Buying Optionality: Why large companies use CVC as a lightweight alternative to M&A or internal R&D, acting as an early option on future acquisitions and managing innovation risk.Defining Success: How major CVC arms (like Salesforce Ventures, Amazon Alexa Fund, and Intel Capital) track value using strategic KPIs (e.g., Partnership ARR Uplift, Azure Adoption) that go beyond standard IRR.The Strategic Playbooks: Analysis of different CVC models: the Ecosystem Expansion approach, the Innovation Hedge strategy (de-risking R&D), and the pure Portfolio Focus.The CVC Financial Toolkit: We detail six essential frameworks for corporate finance teams, including building flexible return models (budgeting for high write-off rates), managing complex capital structures (convertible notes), and implementing governance for high-risk assets.The Translator Role: How finance professionals must bridge the gap between innovation teams and traditional financial rigor, articulating why a high-risk bet makes sense for both the strategic story and the balance sheet.

We discussed a few things including:1. Their career journeys2. Merck's venture strategy and GHIF story3. MSD Idea Studios4. CVC landscape and trends5. Outlook for pharma and innovationBill has led MSD Global Health Innovation (GHI) since 2010, playing a strong role in the US company's transition a decade ago from general consumer pharmaceuticals to a focus on biopharmaceuticals and oncology.With 45 portfolio companies and about 80% having commercial agreements with MSD, His approach of always seeking to understand and solve the parent company's core challenges has proven successful.Last year, the fund expanded beyond the US, launching two accelerator programms, one in Berlin covering central Europe and one in Singapore covering 10 Asian countries. The accelerators will also invest at an earlier stage than the growth stage-focused core GHI fund has typically done.Both in the US and abroad, GHI is focused on four key areas of pharma services: drug discovery, clinical development, supply chain and patient access.In drug discovery, Bill is particularly excited about AI and machine learning allowing drugs to be identified faster.  The fund has invested in about 12 companies applying AI to biology, chemistry and vaccines in the past two years, with a belief that these technologies are on the cusp of a breakthrough.Clinical development is another critical focus, especially in patient diversity and trial management.The unit is also exploring supply chain innovations, with systems tracking raw materials coming in and finished goods going out, much like a “control tower at an airport”.A veteran of the venture capital sector, Bill maintains that corporate venture capital is becoming increasingly sophisticated.  He believes corporate venture capital has now established itself as “part of the ecosystem of investing” and offers unique value that traditional investors cannot.----Joel is a seasoned executive with extensive experience in venture investments and strategic innovation within the healthcare sector.  With a career spanning over two decades, he has held pivotal roles at renowned organizations like Merck, J&J, and JPMorgan, focusing on biotech, corp dev and health equity.  He excels in bridging the gap between life sciences and digital health technology.  He is a recognized advocate for diversity and inclusion, emphasizing health equity in his professional endeavors.  #podcast #afewthingspodcast

Welcome back to the EUCVC Summit Talks, where we spotlight Europe's corporate venture leaders, founders, and academics shaping the future of venture collaboration.In this episode, Francesco Di Lorenzo, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, takes the stage to share fresh research on the state of corporate venture capital (CVC) in the Nordics. From Sweden to Denmark, Francesco explores how corporates are experimenting with different venturing models, what makes CVC effective, and why Nordic corporates are some of Europe's most important venture partners.Rather than polished slides, Francesco offers candid reflections from the Summit itself: the open questions corporates face, the trade-offs in structuring CVC units, and why cultural change in the boardroom is key if corporate venturing is to succeed long-term.

Corporate venture capital has become a $100B+ force in tech. Charlie Hayward from Global Corporate Venturing unpacks what's really driving the trend: which sectors are heating up, where CVCs make a difference, and how Europe stacks up under capital constraints and geopolitical pressure.Here's what's covered:00:00 – Setting the stage: CVC as a $100B+ global force01:00 – Why corporate venture matters: from Microsoft's outlier story to the role of corporate backers03:00 – Active CVC units: stock performance and why entrepreneurs should care04:00 – Lower bankruptcy risk & higher exit multiples for CVC-backed startups05:00 – State of play: fundraising headwinds, but CVCs take the long-term view05:30 – Early-stage shift: corporates getting active in seed & pre-seed rounds06:00 – Global hotspots: Latin America and APAC showing strong momentum07:00 – What CVCs bring: board seats, portfolio support, but still lighter on financial-return expectations08:00 – Who plays the game: large corporates with $1B+ revenues dominate, but LP stakes open doors for smaller players09:00 – New frontiers: universities, accelerators, and venture clienting as the next CVC battlegrounds

Did you know that at it's peak America On Line was responsible for 50% of all Compact Disc production in America? Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [No Bull RV Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And Stephen, you've got mail. Stephen Semple: That's right. Dave Young: You've got mail. You've got mail. Stephen Semple: Could you imagine? Could you imagine if it's still happened that way? You got mail. You got, you got, you got mail. Dave Young: It'd be all day long. I can remember in those early days when getting an email was like, oh, shit, I got an email. Or, somebody sent me an email, or they replied to one of mine. Oh my gosh. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: So AOL, that's the... There was a time. Stephen Semple: America Online. Dave Young: There was a time they'd send out their what? CD-ROMs. Stephen Semple: Yep. Dave Young: You couldn't reach into the seat back pocket of a car without finding one. Stephen Semple: And we're going to explore that whole marketing campaign. But here's the crazy thing- Dave Young: [inaudible 00:02:37] cereal. Stephen Semple: All of it. Yeah. At its peak, one half of CD production in the United States was dedicated to America Online. Dave Young: Oh my God. Stephen Semple: Isn't that crazy? Dave Young: Say it isn't so. Stephen Semple: I can't. AOL was founded by Steve Case, William Von, Jim Kimsey and Marc Seriff in 1983 in Brooklyn. And as we know, it went on to become one of the biggest names in the internet. And in January 11th, 2001, it merged with Time Warner being one of the largest corporate mergers at the time, which actually it turned out was a disaster, but we're not going to talk about that. But back in the early days in 1983, let's put it in perspective, because sometimes it's really hard to think about these technological evolutions, but in 1983, Sony released the first consumer camcorder CD-ROMs were developed. And the first cell phone, remember the Motorola one that looked like it was a World War II walkie-talkie? Dave Young: Well, before that were bag phones. My first one was a bag phone. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: The cell phone that you carried around with a giant battery in a bag. Stephen Semple: Exactly. Yeah. So that's like 1983. And AOL did not start as AOL. It started as a company called Control Video Corporation, CVC, founded by Bill Von Meister. And here's what they created. They created this thing called Gamelink, and basically it's a modem that plugs into the Atari 2600 game module, and they would sell the modem for 50 bucks, and it was a $15 setup fee, and you could download games for a dollar over the phone. That was the idea. This whole idea of the internet did not exist. It was this idea. Now, Steve Case, who becomes the main character in our story, worked for Bill and less than a year later, 1984, CVC is struggling because the video game boom has gone bust. Atari cancels the 2600 because only 3,000 units are sold. So the business is a bit of a tough space. Dave Young: This is a couple of decades almost before the boom, the bust? Stephen Semple: Yes. Oh, yeah. Dave Young: The bursting of the .com bubble. Stephen Semple: But this is the video game business goes through this a little bit, softening. The board sidelines, Von Meister and parachutes in Jim Kimsey, who's a former military guy,

Een primeur in BNR Beurs: we hebben het over nieuws dat er niet is. Het cijferrapport dat er niet is, om precies te zijn. Beleggers zijn er als de kippen bij als het om arbeidsmarktcijfers gaat in de VS. Die informatie is goud waard, want de centrale bank gebruikt ze om het rentebeleid op te baseren. Maar met de overheidsdiensten daar in shutdown, moeten Jerome Powell het even zonder doen. Beleggers leven voor nu maar even naar het principe 'geen nieuws is goed nieuws'. Maar hoe verstandig is dat? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Verder hebben we het over dingen die wél gebeurden. Zoals Europa die eens een keer het initiatief neemt als het op heffingen aankomt. De EU wil importheffingen op staal verhogen naar 50 procent om de industrie hier te helpen. Het gaat ook nog over de opvolger van Christine Lagarde. De baas van de ECB zegt namelijk zelf dat ze het wel ziet zitten als ene Klaas Knot dat wordt. Die heeft natuurlijk zijn handen vrij, nu zijn termijn als president bij De Nederlandsche Bank erop zit. We vertellen je of de opvolging daarmee bezegeld is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to EUVC Live powered by Woven Capital at The Drop, where we bring you raw and unfiltered insights from Europe's venture ecosystem.In this episode, Hampus Jakobsson - serial founder, angel investor, and one of the driving forces behind The Drop - takes the stage to share two big themes: his hard-earned lessons on corporate venturing, and how AI is set to reshape both energy demand and climate solutions.From scars of failed CVC deals to the epiphany that corporates must be at the table, and from the risks of AI's off-grid energy needs to its potential as “a thousand free interns” in old industries, Hampus delivers a candid, fast-paced perspective you won't want to miss.

DSM-Firmenich leurt al een hele tijd met zijn diervoedertak, waar het graag vanaf wil. Vorige maand viel te lezen dat CVC Capital dicht bij een overname was, maar dat ligt nu anders. Het bedrijf heeft een andere private equity partij, Apollo, uitgenodigd om mee te bieden. "De lezing van de markt is duidelijk dat de verkoop heel stroef gaat", zet Robbert Manders van het Antaurus Europe Fund. "Er is een verschil in visie tussen DSM en CVC en CVC biedt waarschijnlijk een te lage prijs. DSM staat ook niet op mijn favorietenlijst. Han Dieperink van Aureus Vermogensbeheer is ook duidelijk: "Ze willen 3 miljard euro hebben voor de diervoedertak en dat krijgen ze niet. De marges in de sector zijn niet spectaculair en de vitaminebusiness zit erin, die cyclisch is." DSM-Firmenich is in de afgelopen 12 maanden bijna 40 procent in waarde gedaald. Over het sentiment kunnen de experts moeilijk klagen, in de VS en ook op het Damrak sneuvelen de records. Donderdag (2 september) sloot de AEX op 958,94 punten, een All Time High. Zowel Han als Robbert zien de economische onzekerheden, maar denken dat de beurs nog wel wat verder kan stijgen. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor de cijfers van Nike, de erbarmelijke situatie bij Stellantis en Volkswagen en de algemene economische ontwikkelingen. We bespreken natuurlijk de luisteraarsvragen en de experts geven hun tip. Han kiest voor een Amerikaans bedrijf dat actief is in de mobiliteit, Robbert tipt een Zwitsers bedrijf.

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik deze week de toegenomen interesse van beleggers in opkomende markten en hoe je daarop in kunt spelen. Wie de financiële media en beleggersfora volgt, weet dat er steeds meer interesse is voor opkomende markten. De zwakkere dollar speelt ontwikkelingslanden in de kaart. Martijn legt uit dat het voor beleggers zeker verstandig is om die ontwikkeling te erkennen. Wie een goed gespreide portefeuille opbouwt, moet zeker ook kijken naar wat opkomende markten te bieden hebben. In het aanbod van VanEckETF’s zijn met name de obligatie-ETF's daarvoor geschikt. Er zijn er twee die zich specifiek richten op opkomende markten: de Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF en de Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF. Dat bracht ons ook op de '100-minus-je-leeftijd-regel'. Die stelt dat je aandelenportefeuille procentueel 100 min je leeftijd is. Dus iemand van 61 jaar belegt maximaal 39 procent in aandelen, de rest in obligaties. Is die regel eigenlijk wel valide? Martijn legt het haarfijn uit in deze aflevering van BeursTalk.

Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) can be both a powerful ally and a cautionary tale for founders and financial VCs alike. At the EUVC Summit, Nicholas Sauvage of TDK Ventures took the stage to break down the CVC landscape — past, present, and future — and give practical advice for founders considering CVCs on their cap tables.Nicholas challenged the audience with a question: who's had a good experience with a CVC? Hands shot up and fewer hands went up for “bad experiences.” This, he noted, shows we're at a new stage for corporate venture.He outlined the three eras of CVC:CVC 1.0: The early days, marked by balance-sheet-driven investments and corporate sponsorships. These often came with odd term sheets and slower processes, but could unlock synergies.CVC 2.0: Skipped over, just like today's pre-seed to Series A jumps.CVC 3.0: The modern era: financially disciplined, strategically aligned, fast-moving, and structured like financial VCs without sacrificing strategic purpose.Importantly, Nicholas debunked the idea that financial and strategic returns are a trade-off - a "false premise," as he called it. The best CVCs aim for both: venture-type returns and deep strategic synergies.Nicholas shared the characteristics of high-performing CVCs:Fast decision-making (some in under 2 weeks!)Clear investment thesesSlim, empowered ICs (not consensus-based groups of 12)Strategic clarity and preparednessA giver mindset — value-add first, not value-extractHe also offered advice for traditional VCs:“Be thoughtful about when a CVC joins your cap table. Some are great at de-risking science, others support go-to-market — it's all about matching their superpower to your founder's needs.”TDK Ventures uses a strict three-pillar framework:Contribution to societyVenture-type returnsStrategic synergy (giver-focused)If an opportunity scores less than 9/10 on any one of the three, they won't invest. Why? Because climate tech and deeptech take time and patience, and TDK is playing a long game to back meaningful technologies — like Type One energy and nuclear fusion — that can shape humanity's future.Before taking CVC money, ask the hard questions:What's their why?What value do they add?Are they ready to support at the right stage of your journey?“Without exits, we don't have a VC ecosystem,” Nicholas reminded the room — so make sure you're partnering with CVCs who can help drive toward them.CVCs: The Good, the Bad, and the MisunderstoodWhat Makes a Great CVC?TDK Ventures' Framework: Triple MandateAdvice to Founders & VCs

Revenue, revenue, revenue, revenue, revenue. Heel veel omzet dus. Dat lees je in de knallende kwartaalcijfers van Oracle. Het bedrijf zag zijn orderboek bijna verviervoudigen. De omzet van de tak die digitale infrastructuur verkoopt gaat van dit jaar 18 miljard dollar naar 144 miljard dollar(!) over vijf jaar. Na zulke aankondigingen knalde het aandeel met meer dan 40 procent omhoog en werd Larry Ellison, de samoerai van Silicon Valley met zijn Japanse paleis, zijn zes ex-vrouwen, zijn superjacht, zijn Hawaïaans eiland en zijn straaljagers, de rijkste man op aarde. Mooi allemaal, maar Corné van Zeijl van Cardano denkt er het zijne van. Want welk cijfertje staat er naast het woord "net income" oftewel "echte winst"? Ah, ja: nagenoeg dezelfde cijfers als vorig jaar. Nul procent winstgroei dus. We bespreken wat dat betekent voor beleggers in Oracle. De Apple-presentatie van nieuwe producten blonk uit in een ander woord. Design, design, design, design, design. Een nieuwe iPhone, een dunne iPhone, enzovoort. Bent u al in slaap gevallen? Beleggers zijn er niet gerust op. Want zelfs als we de zorgen rond AI even wegdenken, moet Apple consumenten wel blijven verleiden om telefoons te blijven vervangen binnen een redelijke tijd. Misschien kunnen de prijzen nog verhoogd worden? En wat te denken van dat aloude onderdeel services, dat altijd van stal werd gehaald wanneer de smartphones even tegenvielen? Verder bespreken we ook natuurlijk nog even die uitgebreide AEX. Ja ja, je weet alles al- maar toch is het goed om te weten waarom de AEX écht niet naar 50 of 100 aandelen kan. Dat is gewoon onmogelijk, zegt Corné.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A CVC masterclass from Bill Taranto, Founder and President of Merck's Global Health Innovation Fund, a $600M fund that is considered one of the most impactful corporate venture funds in the world. Bill has over 20 years of healthcare investing and is focused on digital health companies transforming the future of care. Bill was just named to the Global Corporate Venturing Power List for the 14th time. We talk about the dual mandate to predict and prepare as well as the unique structure he has created which includes multiple levers like accelerators, studios, the growth equity fund, and a private equity roll-up function. We talk about the right relationship with the corporate parent, flying too close to the sun in the strategic/financial balance and why communication is often what determines success and makes innovation tangible for large organizations.
