Entrepreneur India: How Corporate Venture Capital is shaping the future of start-ups
To set up a new venture, an entrepreneur not only needs financial support, but also proper infrastructure, access to market and customers, and a good mentor. That’s where the role of a corporate venture arm, that can provide this, comes in. Mukund Mohan, Director, Microsoft Ventures said, “The model of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) mostly focuses on investing in a company to help its products and platform to expand beyond the current state.” Microsoft Ventures, through their accelerator program, offers start-ups vital infrastructure support, tools, and training—along with a strong network of successful entrepreneurs, industry experts and advisors.
