Abstract:
Successful startups typically progress through three key phases: achieving Product–Market Fit, scaling, and ultimately exiting. At every stage, partnering with a Corporate can significantly accelerate success—provided the relationship is structured effectively. In this session, you will learn the key dos and don’ts, the critical questions to ask, and the questions you should be prepared to answer. You will explore how to align incentives between investors, founders, and Corporates to maximize value creation. Real-world case studies will bring these principles to life.
