📅 Event Recap! 📅
It's already over a month ago since GoGroup. and REHAU New Ventures held an incredible and intensive event with experts from corporate venture building from all over Europe. The #VentureCircle!
We are still have follow-up discussions with other participants, internally and learning and adapting strategic topics. During the event we discussed the challenges and especially the opportunities with corporate venture building.
Here are some of our key takeaways:
👉 Corporate Venture Building is well established as the most entreprenuerial innovation vehicle for business building and can be independent but also a good addition towards CVC and Venture Clienting. CVB can be harder but has also much higher strategic potential and benefits.
👉 Corporates have plenty of assets to bring into ventures and thus create unfair advantages. These assets have strings attached and have to be used wisely to get the full power. Most assets have a clear timeline when they provide the biggest advantage and shouldn't be used too early or too late
👉 Focus and flexibility is key. Corporate rules, processes but also trying to do too much at the same time is often a big challenge. Focus on the really relevant things to proof Product-Market-Fit within the venture and create as much flexibility outside of corporate processes as the venture building unit.
Our most important discussion point: 🚀 Only when you bring together experienced experts with extremly motivated entrepreneurs on a personal level you find the unfair advantage for your ventures from corporate assets.
