2021 US Summit – Corporate & Sector Focused Venture Capital: Perspectives & Approach

Corporate players and their investment arms are key parties in providing use cases, validating, and expanding market reach to technology startups. Traditional Venture Capital firms are able to act quickly and provide ample capital to early stage tech companies on the verge of breaking through to the next level. There are subtle, but key differences in the approach that investors play when they are affiliated with corporations vs. backed by LPs. In this session, we’ll hear from both CVCs as well as Traditional Venture Capitalists on how they are approaching investments in the built space, what kind of technology they’re most excited about, and where they see the investment landscape evolving to.
