Corporate Partnerships, VC Strategies, and Kaufman Fellowship Insights with Industry Leaders | E28

E28 • Dec 27, 2024 • 44 mins

Join Jack Crawford with guests Rodrigo Sanchez, Alessandro Santo, Gonzalo, and Matt Maurer as they delve into business development and corporate collaboration in venture capital. This episode covers VC basics, corporate partnerships, and the Kaufman Fellowship, introducing the panelists' backgrounds. Discover strategies corporate investors use to stand out and collaborate with corporate limited partners (LPs). Learn how corporate relationships and validation provide strategic advantages for startups. The discussion contrasts corporate LPs with traditional ones and explores engagement differences. The episode concludes with a rapid-fire session featuring panelists' insights and favorite professional development sources.

Key Points

  • Startups should focus on creating business development opportunities with corporates that are outside of the core business, avoiding potential acquisition conflicts.
  • Corporate LPs provide significant strategic value beyond capital, such as market insights, curated introductions, and business development opportunities, which can be crucial for the growth of portfolio companies.
  • The interaction with corporate LPs requires a more hands-on approach compared to traditional LPs, often involving close collaboration, regular communication, and a focus on both strategic and financial returns.
