1.Engage startups at scale

Engaging startups is not new, but doing it systematically and software-backed still is. Statistically, most startup engagements fail. To make sure you find the best match for your initiative, you need a comprehensive pool of startups to choose from.

2.Evaluate startups systematically 

Engaging in corporate-startup relations is challenging and often follows unique paths. Documentation is spread across various tools and emails, which makes it difficult to compare and prioritize startup partnership options.

3.Make startup relations transparent across your organization

Chances are high that other teams and departments in your company could benefit from your discoveries or have something to add.
