In Episode 22 of the Dakota Research Podcast, we dive deep into the evolving world of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC)—where global corporations invest directly into startups to drive both financial returns and strategic growth. From NVIDIA’s NVentures and Salesforce Ventures to Microsoft’s M12 and BMW i Ventures, CVCs are becoming systemic players in the venture ecosystem, now participating in roughly one out of every six startup rounds worldwide.

The discussion explores how CVCs differ from traditional venture capital, why corporates are doubling down on AI, automation, and energy technologies, and what makes the best programs stand out—clear mandates, strong governance, and tangible integration with business units. Listeners will also learn how general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs) can collaborate with CVCs to gain unique deal flow, faster exits, and deeper insight into corporate innovation pipelines.

Whether you’re an allocator, fund manager, or startup leader, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how CVCs are redefining the boundaries between innovation and capital in 2025 and beyond.
