From the book I'm writing:) it turned out very much in the subject:.
In addition, there are separate corporate venture capital funds. These funds are for large corporations. This is particularly developed in the field of IT (Intel, IBM has such a structure ). As shown by my practice, working with them difficult. To this there are two main reasons:.
- They tend to be corporate standards and decision-making process can be much more bureaucratic than in conventional funds,.
- If the classic venture funds pursue only one goal - to make a profit Limited Partners, the corporate venture funds, may have different goals and objectives related to the activities of the parent corporation. It is not possible to build a communication strategy with the Fund, by the fact that the logic of such a fund is not completely clear.
Another feature of these funds is that they often invest in later stages of the life of a startup and as koinvestora, lidinvestorom, such funds are the extremely rare.
In addition, major IT corporations sometimes act as a Limited Partner and invest in the classical foundations.

Given the experience of those people, who heads the fund and the strategy of Google, all of the above would be to fund more urgent than any other enterprise fund.
