In Corporate Venture! you take on the role of a new CVC team in an established company. Your job: build and deliver a successful CVC strategy. This, of course, is not as easy as it sounds. You must navigate a massive level of complexity, make rapid-fire decisions on strategy, dealflow, investments, partnerships or outright hostility toward the other teams.Yes, that’s right. You are competing (or collaborating) with up to four other teams around the ‘table’. You are all in the same industry space, but with very different strategies and targets. Best CVC performance wins.
