​Session Overview: Corporate strategics are an indispensable part of the climate transition—as customers, go-to-market partners, and increasingly as investors on the cap table. But raising capital from corporates is far too complex and can come with strings attached. Join an open and informative discussion on how corporate venture arms make decisions, how CVCs are structured and governed, and what to look for (and avoid!) when raising from strategics.
​Key Questions:
​What are common archetypes of CVCs investing in the energy/climate transition? What are their incentives?
​How are CVCs structured? And why does that matter?
​How can I tell if a CVC is the right strategic partner for my business?
​What are examples of where corporates got it right, and where they didn’t?
​Who should attend?
