Corporate Venture Capital: Perspectives from Startups & Established Companies

​What happens when a startup takes investment from an established company?

​Join Dr. H. Dennis Park of The University of Texas at Dallas for a conversation on corporate venture capital (CVC) and the role major companies can play in helping startups grow.

​Drawing on both his research and firsthand experience as a corporate venture capitalist, Dr. Park will explore why established companies invest in startups—and what entrepreneurs can gain beyond funding, including industry expertise, resources, technology, and access to new markets.

​The conversation will look at CVC from both sides of the table, including the opportunities, challenges, and considerations that come with bringing a corporate investor into a startup.
