A Look at Corporate Venture Capital
from the mmm...-money dept
Okay, so maybe this is just a chance to test out our new Venture Capital topic icon, but it is still an interesting article about corporate venture capital which starts off with a quote about how venture capital has become the research and development of many big corporations these days. While I do think there is a place for corporate venture capital, I also think there's a huge potential for conflict of interest problems to arise. I also think that many startups get a lot more value out of traditional venture capitalists.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
