Corporate Venture Capital

Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) is becoming a critical part of the overall investment ecosystem, making up 27% of all venture dollars invested in the globe in 2021 as reported by SVB in the State of CVC Survey. The data from this survey also shows that 80% of CVCs predict they will maintain a similar investment pace or outpace traditional VC investment.

This will be followed by a fireside chat between Tom Ryden, MassRobotics Executive Director, and Sherwin Prior, current Director of the $1B Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and previously Managing Director at GM Ventures. Conversation will include corporate strategies, pressing challenges and opportunities, global corporate innovation, and opportunities for collaboration.
