Corporate Venture Building is a strategic approach to creating innovative companies in collaboration with large corporations. Instead of relying solely on investments in external startups, corporations actively participate in building new ventures from the ground up. The Heart specializes in this model, providing team, structure, expertise, and an ecosystem that supports the development of new businesses.
