Corporate venture capital (CVC) funds are on the rise. Consider the growing number of big companies creating funds to find promising startups: Google Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Novartis Venture Funds, Samsung Ventures, AOL Ventures, Dell Ventures, Dow Venture Capital, Microsoft Ventures, and Citi Ventures. And that's just a short list.
Going with a CVC fund, especially if your startup is in a similar category to the company behind the fund, offers benefits that go beyond money--it's a strategic move that can promote your long-term growth and innovation.
