Right from the first step of a corporate venture’s path towards scaling, there are important milestones that need to be kept into account:
– Team setup in different stages
– Metrics to track in different stages
– Governance structure
– Key moment to spin-in or spin-out and the legal implications
– Operational setup at various stages
– Collaboration/link between mothership and venture
– And more.
