The CVC Environment over the Last Decade: Constants

The average life of a CVC program is still only five years

• Instability of Parent Corporation can cause commitment to CVC to ebb/flow

• Rule of Thumb: “Survive three corporate leadership changes before you feel

safe”

CVCs make both “core” (directly relevant to existing business) and “non-

core” (adjacent business or ecosystem building) investments

• CVCs’ processes can vary depending on whether an investment is “core”

versus “non-core”

Unsophisticated corporate venture capitalists still exist

• New CVC entrants may not be familiar with “normal” market terms

• Business units will also make investments with or without coordination of the

CVC program

The CVC Environment over the Last Decade: Changes

CVC practitioners are usually experienced investors

• Many CVCs been investing for 10 years, many financial VCs have joined the CVC ranks

Most CVCs run more efficient processes now, somewhat more like a financial VC

• Rarely see “hairy” term sheets or NDAs from experienced CVC programs

• Decision-making usually faster, commercial terms decoupled from CVC investment

Start-up concerns about competitive conflicts, information management have proven to

be negligible, manageable. CVCs understand importance of reputation in ecosystem.

Start-ups are looking more favorably upon CVC investments

• Domain or customer insights, brand association, validation, revenue/channel opportunities

• CVCs can be more flexible on terms and return requirements than financial VCs

• Instability of financial VC funds now on par with corporate funds today

• Some CVCs willing to invest early in areas financial VCs won’t (Bio, semi, energy, etc.)

CVCs need to show HQ financially responsible judgment and advice

• Even if CVC can’t alter HQ’s balance sheet with a home run, HQ expects CVC will not be dilutive.

CVCs losing money may not be sustainable

• The value of CVCs to HQ is now seen as broader than just financial ROI on deals. Like offering

B.U.s assistance w diligence before partnering, sourcing innovation

LPs

Example Sony, Microsoft SAP, T-Venture Amex, QCOM Aster, Iris

1. All CVCs need to be both “financial” and “strategic” to some degree. When the primary objective is “financial”, it can also refer to

valuation-sensitivity, financial experience of CVC team, independence of investment theses, independence in decision-making.

“Strategic” objective may come from exploration of adjacent businesses of corporate LPs or non-financial support.

2. There are really 3 types of Multi-Corporate funds: 1) “Outsourced CVC” (Granite, Atrium) 2) “Corporate+Financial LPs” (Translink), 3)

Multiple Corp LPs only (Aster, Iris). We are only considering the 3rd type here.
