Presented at NOEW 2022 by Ochsner Ventures, the team at Ochsner Ventures hosted a panel of local entrepreneurs and funders on how to create successful enterprise and startup partnerships, lessons learned, and how investing locally is a win-win for all. Enterprise funders that invest capital on behalf of large community institutions and companies have a unique offering for entrepreneurs as they can go beyond funding to offer additional value and a true commitment to impact the local community. From both the perspective of founders and the enterprise leaders that support them, the panel will explore what works well, how to put together successful partnerships, and how fostering these types of relationships creates meaningful value for companies and communities.
