Abstract

Start-ups and early stage ventures are facing more and more financial constraints. The lack of second round financing substantially reduces the potential of patent applications from spin-offs and other early stage ventures. On the other hand, investing in new companies provides large companies with access to new technologies and future strategic advantages. So why are large companies not prominent in making seed stage investments? Is there any possible action to increase these investments? In order to address these issues, the paper takes a closer look at corporate venture capital, how large companies invest, the size of their investments and importance in the supply chain and what could be done in order to increase their role in seed investments.
