Venture clienting for innovation success with start-ups
From chance to system
Venture clienting - at first glance just a new buzzword, but actually a new organizational and methodological quality for successful collaboration with start-ups:
Open innovation using startup collaboration without professional venture clienting remains random and improvised on a case-by-case basis. The costs are high, the results are mixed and every next startup project starts all over again.
With systematic, step-by-step, tried and tested venture clienting, innovation success becomes programmable, cost-effective and scalable - from chance to system. You only buy startup solutions that really work.
Large case studies, e.g. by BMW and BOSCH, have shown that the key performance indicators of corporate innovation can be significantly improved with the help of venture clienting.
