Beyond the Core Podcast

The world of venture studios, including those tied to corporate innovation, remains murky. 

  • What is a venture studio and how does a venture studio work? 
  • How might a big company use the venture studio model to drive growth?
  • How does a company leverage corporate venture capital (CVC), with incrementally focused innovation for business units and disruptive innovation that goes beyond?

It can make your head spin. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Highline Beta has been building and funding startups alongside corporate partners for nearly a decade. We’ve learned a lot through the ups and downs, with much more to come. We felt it was a great time to share our learnings, but also capture the learnings and knowledge from so many others. That was the inspiration for our new podcast, Beyond the Core.

Each week we’re talking to senior leaders and executives, who share real life stories and experiences from the world of venture studios, venture building, corporate innovation and corporate venture capital. We’re not exclusively focused on the wins, but the fumbles too. If you’re setting out to do something new (like build new ventures or companies), mistakes will be made. 

Our first episode is with Kal Amin, Managing Partner at 1848 Ventures. Although Kal’s only been with 1848 Ventures for 7 months, he’s affecting a lot of change and rallying the team around their renewed purpose to build and launch multiple ventures per year.
