REAL TALK 10: The World of CVC
From how capital flows, to how corporations innovate, to the partnerships founders seek: venture is evolving.
And Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) is playing an increasingly powerful role in shaping what the next generation of companies looks like. That’s the conversation at the heart of March’s RealTalk.
Real Talk is Best Nights VC’s ongoing panel series bringing together founders, investors, innovators, and creatives for open, honest discussions on entrepreneurship, culture, and capital. It’s a space to exchange ideas, share real experiences, and build meaningful connections—while creating a Best Night here in Berlin.
On March 10th, we’ll dive into the world of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), exploring the opportunities, structures, and insider perspectives that define this dynamic part of the investment landscape.
