Corporate Venturing Navigator: Evaluation along case studies

In this paper, I evaluate the self-developed Corporate Venturing Navigator (CVN) and its two artefacts, the CVN-Framework and the CVN-Cockpit, by putting the CVN under the microscope in practice. I assess the CVN with practice partners to validate the identified current problem with CV programs, the CVN phases and element characteristics and dynamics that were developed and the CVN’s usability, as well as to consider additional input. The goal is to gain further scientific insight into the creation and operation of corporate venturing with a focus on capturing and measuring value. The results reflect additional expertise in optimizing CV investments, further justifying their existence and usefulness.
