It's time for the startups: How do they see corporate venturing, and what do they gain from these strategic alliances with large corporations? A few days ago, we shared a video where the corporations participating in our 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 event revealed how these collaborations are transforming their innovation. Now, we’re giving the spotlight to Gloo with Jordi Arbusà, THEKER Robotics with Carla Gómez Cano and Kamleon with Jordi Ferré Albiol, to share, from their own experience, how these alliances allow them to scale, innovate faster, and break barriers in their sectors. 🌍 In this new video, you’ll discover how entrepreneurs are using corporate venturing to make a large-scale impact and redefine industries alongside the most visionary corporations. 🎥 Don’t miss it and discover the perspective of those leading the change. Their stories show us how collaboration can be the driving force that propels the next wave of innovation. 👉 And if you’re ready to explore the most disruptive startups and open new doors to innovation, click here: https://lnkd.in/dHQqDE4a #S2Xpeed #corporateventuring #startup #IndustrialTech

🚀 Excited to share a glimpse into my latest project, born from a deep admiration for the daring souls in the medtech startup world. "Paging Dr. Startup: Chapter 1: Inventing the Next Big Thing (in a Garage, of Course)" is more than just a chapter; it's a tribute to those who embrace the garage spirit—where innovation and dreams thrive despite the odds. This journey is for the visionaries willing to shoulder the risk others shy away from, driven by a relentless passion to enhance patient care in ways yet unseen. It's a story inspired by the belief that the next big leap in medtech could be lurking in the most unassuming places, waiting for the right mix of courage and creativity to bring it to life. Dive into the world where medtech meets determination, and discover how the confines of a garage can indeed be the birthplace of the next revolutionary idea in patient care. This is for you, the dreamers, the innovators, the risk-takers. #MedTech #StartupJourney #Innovation #PatientCare #Entrepreneurship https://lnkd.in/gz8pCqrQ

Here comes my secret sauce: You will always find the next unicorn if.... you have an unlimited number of attempts available. The math is simple: as you increase the number of tries, the probability of finding a unicorn also increases. The VC game works like this: Invest in 100, win with 1. But that doesn´t work for corporates. ▶ Corporate Innovation programs, accelerators, and incubators are not designed for failure. They are dying all over the place because they failed to deliver relevant results within budget. But something changes the game right now: ▶ With the rise of AI, the cost of building and testing business ideas is dropping dramatically. And that's where the math comes in again: ▶  Decreasing "cost per attempt" = more attempts within budget = increased likelihood of finding a winner. If you manage to apply this new innovation superpower in the right innovation area, the game changes.

Our work was empirical proved useful! The latest Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) e.V. study, “Innovation through Cooperation,” reveals the significant potential of collaborations between companies and startups in the automotive sector. 🚀 Here are our key takeaways: Ever since the automotive industry is navigating significant hurdles, including the shift to electric drives and intensified global competition, there is a need for change. ▶ Collaboration is Key : Teaming up with innovative startups is essential for overcoming challenges and boosting Research & Development ▶ Boosting Innovation: Over half of companies (51%) have kickstarted product and process innovations through these partnerships, but there’s still room to grow ▶ Resource Struggles: Many companies (74%) struggle with a lack of resources and suitable partners, particularly insufficient personnel ▶ Partnership Challenges: Companies often face hurdles like doubts about startup maturity (67%) and limited financial resources (55%) ▶ Recommendations: The study suggests investing more in partnerships and showcasing successful examples to underline the benefits of working with startups That’s where prototype.club joins the game.

Some questions popping up for this day: ➡️How do fleet managers integrate the new shiny electric fleet, the routes, the charging places, with the good efficient existing fleet, how do they handle the transition, avoid gaps and align with the regulations? ➡️What if any designs plan can be easily transformed in a 3D image that allows architects show their clients a realistic space organization in a fraction of the usual time? ➡️Can one save operational costs by managing logistic chain and transportation avoiding downtime, fuel inefficiency and lack of visibility with real-time data? For all these we learned that there is a solution which we will discuss with three new startups in our regular Tuesday #PitchDay session. Once again, a common vibe and a lot of AI involved. Join us on either part of the pitch deck if you want a partner to grow, to learn or seize opportunities. #growingtoghether #startups #angelinvestors
