The notion of building new companies might be 'off-thesis' for some VC firms. But does that mean there's no path forward for investors who want to 'create their own luck' by launching startups themselves? By partnering with venture builders to assess, validate, and de-risk early-stage concepts, venture capital firms can augment their primary business model and develop a new, secondary revenue stream. Learn how some VCs are already embracing this approach: https://lnkd.in/gm6wpRNH #VentureBuilding #VentureCapital #Startups

"If you’re running a big business and you’re going along with the crowd and you're right, you’re going to go out of business. That’s the innovator’s dilemma. You have to be non-consensus. You have to come up with ideas that the rest of the market doesn't understand yet." Elliott Parker joined Nate Spangle on the Powderkeg podcast to discuss his new book, The Illusion of Innovation; why "entrepreneurship is terror and euphoria at the same time, all the time"; and why the world needs more successful entrepreneurs.

Safety, predictability, efficiency: Not exactly the words that come to mind when thinking about startups. But building new companies can be a valuable tool for getting corporations away from the allure of safety and efficiency. “Outside venture building is the best solution to the innovator’s dilemma that I’ve seen so far and I’ve been looking for 25 years,” High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker recently explained to Global Corporate Venturing. Fast, cheap, and "weird" experiments are the answer to the innovator’s dilemma, and corporations should be running a large number of these projects at any given time in order to gather as many insights as possible. Discover why scaled organizations should lean into venture building today: https://lnkd.in/dHM_6_eY #IllusionOfInnovation #CorporateVenture #VentureBuilding

Corporations and investors are uniquely positioned to create positive societal impact in their communities. But how can businesses and VCs ensure they make a lasting impact in communities nationwide? At a recent The Aspen Institute event hosted at High Alpha Innovation HQ in Indianapolis, a common thread across all of the speakers' discussions was how organizations can create professional development and growth opportunities for underserved communities. Skills-based training is just one way that corporations can invest in “underestimated” communities and provide returns for investors. https://lnkd.in/g-tQDe_R #VentureBuilding #CommunityInvestment

Despite "recent increases in on-farm profitability and strong investments over the last decade, there is a high openness to innovation, yet adoption is slow" in the AgriFood industry, according to McKinsey. The challenge for companies in this space is proving that their new or enhanced offerings will have a sizable, positive impact on farmers' day-to-day operations and productivity. Learn about three distinctive corporate innovation approaches being employed today to develop new and improve existing ag-centric products discussed during Purdue DIAL Ventures' latest Future of Agrifood summit. Compeer Financial Innovation Strategy Consultant Bridget Deering, Kubota North America CTO M. Brett McMickell, and Nutrien Ag Solutions Head of Digital and Agronomic Collaboration Aman Anand shared insights into their companies' efforts to innovate in the food and agriculture space. https://lnkd.in/ekGfF94w #AgriFood #VentureBuilding #CorporateInnovation

"Executives in large companies can do everything right, what they're trained to do, serve their best customers, their most profitable customers, with ever-better products and services. Ultimately, by doing that, the leader will cause their company to go out of business, as they leave themselves exposed at the lower end for new entrants to come in and displace the incumbents." The innovator's dilemma is not a new concept to most C-suites, but corporations are perhaps farther than ever from finding a way to solve the concept popularized by Clayton Christensen. On The Strategy Skills Podcast, High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker explained how large companies can engage in activities that feel like innovation but that actually lead to value destruction, not progress — and how to avoid these pitfalls.

"In many ways, we're in the throes of a kind of automation industrial revolution analogous to ones we've gone through historically." SK Ventures Managing Partner Paul Kedrosky shared this thought around AI at Alloy 2023, and it still rings true. Companies with highly structured data that is core to the business and easy to leverage in real time, like those in the banking and telecommunications industries, are finding quicker success with AI adoption. Biogen Head of Technology & AI Dave Clifford suggested that in order to set themselves up for success, companies' initial AI-related focus should be on finding where the data required to take advantage of AI tools resides.
