Announcing our latest report: "The Founder’s CVC Playbook: Maximizing value from your corporate venture capital relationships." Corporate venture capital (CVC) can offer startups tremendous value beyond just financial capital. However, no two CVCs are structured alike or operate in the same way, and there are many pathways to success in startup-CVC engagements. Founders need a gameplan when engaging with CVCs. This playbook designed to help founders take an action-oriented stance in navigating their CVC relationships and get more value from those relationships. It is the third report in a series developed as a collaboration between TDK Ventures and 6Pages.
