Ventures
If your company has its own ventures division or invests with traditional venture capital firms, then Strategyn Ventures can significantly lower your investment risk. How? By combining Strategyn’s proven Outcome-Driven Innovation® methodology with a disruptive venture model.
In most venture models, the investor’s success is dependent on the management team bringing forward a winning idea and successfully taking it to market. But according to Harvard Business School, Dow Jones, and PricewaterhouseCoopers*, only 11 percent of all venture investments get to liquidity. And just four percent of these investments generate 63 percent of the returns.
Clearly, the traditional “ideas-first” venture model comes with high failure rates and tremendous capital risk. Yet, in order to grow, companies must be able to discover and invest in new and emerging markets.
Strategyn Ventures will work with your organization to identify strategic growth markets, understand customers’ unmet needs in those markets, and engage in idea generation sessions with domain experts to create and validate winning solutions. This will be done before any capital is invested in overhead or product development. Only after the solution is proven to meet over 200 of our success metrics will we secure the intellectual property and then develop and launch the product in the marketplace.
As your venture partner, we can handle the entire process for you, ensuring winning investments in growth markets that support the strategic interests of your company.
