Innovation Services | Overview
Connect with our network of diverse startups to innovate your company.
What We Do | Innovation Services
We help our strategic corporate partners enhance their performance by leveraging startups for open innovation.
To remain competitive, corporations cannot rely on their existing core technologies and business models alone. We understand the enormous challenge established companies face as they adjust to globalization and changing environments.
The Venture Services team leverages local statups as well as the tremendous network of our Syndicate Fund of Funds. The result is enhanced innovation capacity of our Corporate Partners through collaboration and an external influx of knowledge and innovation.
Corporations can find it difficult to extract diverse and disruptive knowledge sets required to remain competitive.
We are ready and able to change that.
How It Works
Accelerated Disruption for Bolder Outcomes
Not unlike traditional Corporate Venture Capital investments working to foster innovation inside an organization, we have invested resources in a multi-layered, open search and solution approach that takes place between our investors and our growing Venture Partners Network.
Innovation Briefing
We work with corporate innovation teams through a traditional briefing process to clarify innovation challenges and develop plans that identify regional and national resources, innovation focus, and desired outcomes.
Search and Solution
The ‘problem to solve’ is identified and circulated across our StartupCincy ecosystem and Syndicate Fund network, amongst potential startups and relevant subject matter experts to connect the problem to a pool of potential solutions.
Knowledge Exchange
Information sharing plays a significant role in extracting value beyond the financial performance of the Fund of Funds. The richness and diversity of technology-based resources across our venture network helps our community identify relevant startup-based innovation solutions and ignite powerful knowledge exchange as seeds for future solutions.
Venture Pilots
These programs strengthen the viability of the startup's solutions while offering early engagement and experience with future innovation breakthroughs.
