Corporates and startups need each other

Like a refrain, the colla­bo­ra­tion between start­ups and corpo­ra­tes is repea­tedly propa­ga­ted in the scene. There are many ways to get invol­ved in the start-up scene — through coope­ra­ti­ons with young compa­nies, invest­ments in start-ups, a dedi­ca­ted acce­le­ra­tor program, a sepa­rate venture capi­tal unit or by inves­t­ing in exis­ting funders. Often, howe­ver, the best stra­tegy is no good if the company is not a relia­ble part­ner with a long-term strategy.
