Nico Valenti Gatto and Tanguy Confavreux at Partech publish a white paper that analyzes relationships between corporates and start-ups.
With a portfolio of 150 start-ups of all stages and from all over the world, Partech is at a perfect observation post for the projects implemented by corporates in reaction to the start-up trend.
That is why Nico Valenti-Gatto and Tanguy Confavreux wrote a white paper that is mostly intended for decision makers in large groups as a guideline tool to manage expectations and prepare according to the underlying reason for wanting to work with start-ups. Founders and CEOs of start-ups might find this interesting to learn more about the dynamics of large companies that will eventually try and work with, or invest in, their business.
They start from the very first question a corporate should ask itself: why would I want to work with start-ups? Once the different rationales are explained, they go through what a corporate can achieve with these companies, followed by an analysis of how. They summarize it all in one simple table comparing the approaches they have seen from the corporates Partech works with. They suggest some tools, KPIs, processes and HR policies they have identified as efficient and go into the details of corporate governance structures that are usually adopted and try to show the pros and cons of each.
