What an inspiring Startupnight! Thanks Valerie B., Alexander Artopé, Moritz Kreppel, and Julian Riedlbauer for a discussion full of takeaways. Now more than ever we are convinced that founders will thrive and come out stronger in this challenging environment. The true challenge is changing how you meet challenge. More employees, consultants, tools have hardly ever been the solution to foundational problems. Now that we have left an era of abundance it is even more important to find strategic solutions that convince with creativity - not cash. Don’t wait for the ideal funding environment to follow your calling. The timing of the opportunity you are equipped to tackle is way more important. And winning will take long enough for you to see the entire venture cycle. We remain as eager to invest in companies on the cusp as ever. The most promising companies are building solutions to serve #lowerincome consumers, Industry Specific Operating Systems (#ISOS), digital tools for #sustainability and digital #infrastructure from Europe for the world.

Our clients often ask us: "How can innovation thrive alongside the core business?" 🤔 The answers came to life at our recent workshop during the Austrian Innovation Forum. In a room filled with +30 fellow innovators, our CEO & Managing Partner, Max Steindl-Ditzel, and Co-founder & Venture Partner, Philippe Thiltges, shared the magic formula for innovation success: venture governance. As Max puts it, “one of the most important things you can do to help innovation thrive is move away from the corporate structures, rules, and processes.” 💬 Here are 3 practical tips for fostering innovation within your organization straight from our workshop: 🎯 Clear Processes: Ventures must have well-defined processes and decision-making structures. No more guessing games. It's all about clarity. 📋🧐 🦄 Maximum autonomy: Develop units that not only break the rules but have a whole new set of guidelines. Maximum autonomy is the name of the game! 🤘🎩 💰 Financial Backing: Support your ventures financially, leveraging your corporate strategic advantage. This way, your teams can laser-focus on development and serving customers. 💲💡 Keen to dive deeper into the world of corporate venture building success? 🚀📚 Dive into our upcoming report, 'The state of corporate venture building in 2023,' and uncover the success factors of building ventures in corporates. 📈🌟 #CorporateInnovation #VentureGovernance #InnovationMatters #corporateventurebuilding #companybuilding #innovation
