Startups sources of innovation for companies

According to a study by MIT and Capgemini, by 2025 startups will be the main source of innovation for companies. Venture clienting is a new model of cooperation between startups and companies, an alternative to venture capital. The company does not buy equity of a startup but becomes its client (venture client) and validates the solution on the ground.

The Venture Clienting Process

Whatever your company’s need for innovation today, there are already startups, spinoffs and innovative companies in the world with advanced TRL technologies that you can apply right away in your processes and facilities. Venture Clienting allows you to acquire innovation quickly, cheaply, and while limiting risk. A Venture Clienting project consists of three modular phases: recruitment, activation and evolution.
