In today's global market, we’re dealing with the uncertainty of rising interest rates, fewer public listings & exits, valuation corrections, and other complex macro trends. Founders, investors, and corporates alike are moving back to the fundamentals as the priority of ‘grow at all costs’ has shifted to ‘grow with efficiency’ or even profitability. What does this mean for startups unlocking corporate partnerships and how do corporates refine their innovation strategy in a muddy market? Join industry executives from Oracle, Sapphire Ventures, Intel, & Hearst to hear the inside scoop on how they’re tackling wartime corporate innovation head first. They’ll give you a ‘behind-the-scenes’ roadmap of how they’ve developed their partnership models to benefit startups with funding, enterprise customers, & co-sell opportunities, and how to unlock these models in a downturn.
