Our Professional Certification System
closes the gap between Corporate Venturing and Open Innovation
PROBLEM #1
Siloed skills in Corporate Venturing Corporate venturing (venture clienting, venture building, CVC funds, corporate accelerators and strategic partnerships) is mission-critical for growth. Yet the skills needed sit in silos across finance, strategy, innovation and procurement.
PROBLEM #2
Inexperienced startup founders in Open Innovation At the same time, successful open innovation relies on startup founders who know how to engage, negotiate and deliver with corporates - but most have never been trained for it.

WHO IT BENEFITS
