Digging into the Corporate Innovation Venture Studio Model

Corporate venture studios are becoming more popular as a vehicle for big companies to innovate beyond the core. Having an independent group or team dedicated to new venture building is a powerful way to accelerate growth, explore new business models and solve new problems that matter to customers.

‍

In an interview with Jake Hurwitz, our Founding Partner, Ben Yoskovitz, talks at length about how to build corporate venture studios, how they work, the various approaches and more.

Key Highlights:

Here are a number of the key questions answered throughout the interview:

‍

What is your typical balance between building startups with corporate partners versus building and investing in them independently?
What are the differences between working with a corporate pre- versus post-incorporation of a new venture?
How is equity typically divided when co-building a new spinout with a corporate partner?
Who should and should not be in the room at key stages of a corporate startup partnership?
How does the spinout’s board composition and management tend to evolve over time?
Some argue startup studios add negligible value after Series A funding rounds. Does that determine your exit timing?
What capitalization strategies enabled Highline Beta’s launch seven years ago as an early industry pioneer?
Where does Highline Beta go from here? What's next for the firm and for startup studios more broadly?

‍

Ben shares a great deal of information about Highline Beta and our past work collaborating with corporate partners on venture building and venture studios, along with how we plan to launch new vertical venture studios and continue to iterate on the venture studio model.
