Activate x Anglo American: Unleashing early-stage startup potential with corporate venture capital
Activate will be hosting this conversation in partnership with Anglo American’s Decarbonisation Ventures and other hardtech corporate investors, to shed some light on what motivates early stage startup corporate investment and what makes a truly lasting, supportive and mutually beneficial relationship with startups
Come hear from investors (TDK Ventures, Khosla Ventures, TechEnergy Ventures), ecosystem leaders (Breakthrough Energy Fellows), and portfolio companies (Limelight Steel, Marathon Fusion, Inlyte Energy, Peak Energy, Eden Geo) on their perspectives on making this equation work to unlock growth.
Hosted at the 9Zero Building, the discussion will also highlight how to make this process work for both parties and why more corporates should be investing earlier!
Investors, startups and corporates welcome!
