About Advantaged: An Alloy Partners Podcast
From the publisher's feed
On Advantaged, we interview corporate innovators, founders, and investors all around venture building and startup<>corporate partnerships. We are telling the stories of how corporates and startups win together.
We explore the concept of "advantaged": how startups can be disproportionately advantaged when they are co-created with corporations — and how corporations can solve some of the world’s hardest problems through startup creation in the venture studio model.
