Head of Solutions at 27pilots :: Senior Manager :: Venture Client Excellence :: Corporate Venturing
Venture Client matters… and Corporate Venture Client Units are starting to be the norm!
Reflecting on the landmark 2023 Venture Client Awards ceremony in Berlin on March 14, 2023, I have published an in-depth piece on Medium about the pivotal role these awards play in the landscape of corporate venturing. In addition to acknowledging the winners and describing the winning Venture Client Projects and startups, my article offers reflections on why Venture Clients matter -in alignment with Marc Andreessen's essay "The only thing that matters for new startups" It also offers insights into the evolution of Venture Clienting into a significant corporate venturing vehicle over the past decade. Finally, I attempted to list and acknowledge the great work of inhouse Venture Client Units that are known to me through my research and professional activities at 27pilots, which helps companies accomplish Venture Client Excellence since 2018. Congratulations to the 2023 Venture Client Awards winners BMW Startup Garage, Holcim MAQER Ventures and OTTO Dock 6, which were selected for their exceptional impact on product innovation, sustainability, and process improvement. Special thanks to the people and organizations that made this award possible! _Award organizers: 27pilots - a Deloitte business, Deloitte _Sponsors: Deutsche Börse, IONOS _Advisory Board Fast50s and Venture Client Awards: Dietmar Harhoff (Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition), Christian Teichmann (Burda), Sonja Moosburger, @FalkoWeinert (DeutscheBörse), Lars Hinrichs (CincoCapital) I am looking forward to your comments and feedback! #VentureClientAwards #Fast50Award #VentureClienting #VentureClientUnits #Startups #CompetitiveAdvantage
