So what is a CVC exactly? Corporate venture capital (CVC), similar to traditional venture capital, invests in private companies building technology backed frontier products. A key differentiator from traditional venture, and as the name suggests, is that CVCs are sponsored by a corporation. The investments a CVC makes will more often than not be focused on that corporation's specific industry and expertise and will often align with its strategic goals. Next week we will dive into the different models CVCs follow as they are as diverse as the corporations and industries they operate in.

Congratulations to the Carefull team on the raise! Delivering much needed intergenerational financial support to families always and especially so in this market. cc Todd Rovak https://lnkd.in/g5PGNAQc
"IN THIS MARKET??" is the #1 thing we heard this year. As we announce & celebrate Carefull's A Round capital raise today in TechCrunch, I'm reminded of how Max Goldman and I heard that phrase daily. "Pretty ambitious IN THIS MARKET." "Might want to think hard about THIS MARKET." "Are you sure, in THIS market?" But: it was always the wrong question. Carefull wasn't raising IN this market, we were raising FOR this market . . . for the 45 million people coordinating finances for an aging loved one. For the banks, advisors and insurers safeguarding the $84 trillion of wealth transfer amid $37 billion of elder fraud and financial exploitation. We're extremely grateful to have the opportunity to keep building for this deeply underserved market- to take better care of the generation that took care of us. Proud of the entire Carefull team, which has worked tirelessly to lay the foundation for what's to come. Excited to be partnered with Fin Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, TTV Capital, Montage Ventures, Commerce Ventures, Springbank, Alloy Labs, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures and so many others who share our relentless focus on this challenge. If you share the same focus, come partner and work with us. IN THIS MARKET?? Hell yes.
