Why now
Disruption is no longer cyclical — it’s continuous and compounding.
-
Mid-caps face accelerating technology shifts, talent shortages, and margin pressure.
-
Traditional R&D and incremental innovation can’t keep pace with market velocity.
Corporate venturing enables firms to adapt at startup speed through external partnerships and co-creation.
-
Time-boxed, de-risked pilots allow experimentation without jeopardizing the core business.
Acting now lets mid-caps turn disruption into a competitive advantage, not a threat.
