BEST PRACTICES OF CORPORATE VC

• Separate Legal Entity

• Team: Investment professionals and previous founders (not corpate insiders)

• Invests like a traditional VC, competitive terms & follow-on investments

• Co-Invests With The Best (Smart + Smarter Strategic Capital)

• Industry Focus: Broad > Niche. Innovate an industry, not just a company.

• Success = Financial Returns + Strategic Benefits

• R&D Group (Internal Iteration) < Risk Tolerant (External Innovation)

• Remove Red Tape & Bureaucracy

• Get internal support, but don’t require champions

• An investment committee that is open minded and can react quickly
