Unlike traditional VC/PE funds, Corporate Venture Capital ("CVC") serves as a unique source of capital that goes beyond merely seeking robust returns; it also aims to gain access to and validate emerging technologies that hold relevance for the corporation behind the CVC fund. Consequently, CVCs operate with distinct investment criteria, time horizons, return projections, funding sizes and technology deployment strategies.
This session is designed to dive into the advantages and disadvantages of collaborating with a CVC in contrast to VC/PE fund. Additionally, we will further explore the burgeoning Citytech trends, with a particular emphasis on those with a sustainability focus.
