Corporate Venturing in the Current Economic Environment

Posted 09/23/09 at 4:46 pm

Corporate venture capital is always looking for strategic value by partnering and investing in innovative start-up companies. Lower valuations, a slow down in venture investment, and a shortage of capital for existing venture-backed companies present interesting options for corporate venture professionals. This environment offers challenges and opportunities that our panel of experts will discuss in a moderated session on October 8th, 2009

  • How have CVCs responded to the current economic situation?
  • Do they see increased opportunities for investments, partnerships or acquisitions or all of them?
  • Have they changed their stage of investing?
