Corporate Partnerships - Venture Co‑creation

Plain English pitch

You've spotted a market gap or future opportunity, and you want to build something new with the right founder rather than going it alone.

What it is

Venture Co‑creation is a structured partnership process to co-design, develop, and launch new ventures with aligned founding teams, sharing risk and capability. This is all without the overhead of internal builds.

What it does

It accelerates entry into emerging markets by combining your domain expertise and market access with entrepreneurial talent and agile execution.

You get faster innovation cycles, reduced development risk, and multiple commercialisation pathways – from joint ventures to strategic investments.

How it works

• Opportunity framing and venture thesis development with your strategy team
• Strategic founder matching and capability assessment
• Co-design sprints to develop core proposition and validate assumptions
• Shared pilot or MVP development with defined governance structures
• Investment pathway design (join venture, spinout, strategic investment, or acquisition)
• Ongoing mentoring and stakeholder alignment throughout development

Outcome

You get a validated venture opportunity co-created with aligned founders, backed by real-world market testing and clear pathways to scale.

Plus, you get optionality for different commercialisation routes and early-mover positioning in emerging spaces.
