As corporate interest in innovation and startup engagement has increased, two popular approaches have emerged: corporate venture capital (CVC) investing, where companies invest in startups and collaborate on projects, and "venture clienting," which involves collaboration without equity investment. Our president, Amy Daniels Burr, recently spoke with Global Corporate Venturing along with BMW i Ventures and Siemens Energy Ventures about the benefits of both strategies and how corporates can best work with startups.

It was a pleasure to host this group of entrepreneurs from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States OECS | Organisation des États de la Caraïbe Orientale OECO in our office last month. Great job, Stephen Snyder and Jess Lozano-Schmitt! 👏
It was our pleasure to host a group of amazing entrepreneurs from across the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States OECS | Organisation des États de la Caraïbe Orientale OECO at JetBlue Ventures' SF headquarters two weeks ago. The Caribbean remains one of the only regions in the world to have not produced a unicorn. But its history of small and medium-sized businesses, economic exposure to tourism, and urgency in acting toward a sustainable future make a question of when, not if, this will come to fruition. In 2024, Caribbean island nations are claiming the top of the Olympic podium, so it cannot be long until they are at the top of stock indexes too 🇩🇲 🇱🇨🥇 My thanks to Draper University for running an incredible program and for the amazing team of Nadege Jn Baptiste, Jamaine Atwell, and Debra Blackman, as well as JetBlue's own rockstar Lisa Quiñones and my awesome JBV teammate Jess Lozano-Schmitt for making this all come together! 🇦🇬 🇩🇲 🇬🇩 🇫🇷 🇰🇳 🇱🇨 🇻🇨
