Venture Capital Firms and Incubators

Venture capitalists are primarily engaged in nurturing innovation in small, nimble startups. They have developed a series of screens to help identify where to invest and a set of methods to support the growth of innovation. Although the venture world is quite different from corporate R&D, large corporations can access the power of venture capital by applying the techniques developed in the venture world or by partnering with startups to leverage the strength of both worlds.
