Show Notes

A critical phase in the life of any start-up is to successfully fundraise sufficient money to maintain its planned growth and development trajectory.

One of the most popular options is to raise corporate venture capital (CVC). According to CB Insights, CVC globally hit a record high of $73 billion in 2020, but that figure was exceeded in the first six months of 2021, i.e. $79 billion.

From a start-up’s perspective, they get not only funding, but can also benefit from the advice and network and infrastructure of a corporation.

Clearly, there are enormous benefits to securing CVC, but It’s not straightforward and should be viewed as a challenging task.

To help new ventures get it right, Dr Heather Johnstone speaks with Raamu Moneyam and Olga Jensen from BayWa r.e. Energy Ventures, the ventures arm of BayWa r.e., to get some useful dos and don’ts, and top tips, as well as general guidance.

Plus, they share some unique aspects of their approach when it comes to investing in new ventures.
