The 5 stages of the platform’s life
“Corporate venture building makes the most of your core organization’s existing assets to create separate but linked businesses offering new products, services, or business models, typically addressing new markets and geographies. Corporate ventures can operate with the flexibility and agility of startups, yet they have the advantage of being able to leverage the many resources of the core business.
