Why venture clienting?

Venture clienting is a relatively new model for prosperous corporate-startup collaboration. Large companies act as clients to startups, providing them with early-stage revenues, feedback, expertise development, and access to markets.

In return, startups provide innovative solutions that can be integrated into the larger company's business operations. Although it poses challenges, the rewards in terms of tapping into innovation and getting a competitive edge are substantial.

Augment startup identification

How do you manage 50 new startups each week—across emails, conferences, and reports—without losing your mind or missing the best ones? ITONICS gives you one place to capture findings, align evaluations, and avoid chasing the same startups twice—with a little help from AI.
