Driving Customer Innovation Through CVCs

Corporate venture capital, the investment of corporate funds directly into external startups, has helped corporations deploy successful innovation strategies. CVC is used in several top-end companies, such as Intel and Google, generating outstanding strategic and financial returns. However, several companies, including TotalEnergies, Microsoft's M12, and Verizon, have started paring down their portfolios. Is CVC dying then? Can it still help you transform your organization? If so, how do you structure a successful corporate venture capital fund so that it achieves your specific, established goals?
