Built to Last: Ensuring Longevity for Your CVC

🗓️ Join us for the latest installment of our CVC Breakfast series focusing on strategies for maintaining longevity in Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) amidst changes in the parent company.

Overview

Given the recent winding down of PayPal Ventures, which built a formidable portfolio worth over $850M—including 14 unicorns like Plaid and Anchorage Digital—it's clear that strong performance alone isn't enough for survival. With two significant CVC shutdowns in just six weeks, this session is essential for all CVC and Corporate Development leaders.

Keynote Speaker

✨ We are thrilled to welcome Lina Arbelaez, former Head & Founding MD of Decarbonisation Ventures at Anglo American, who will share invaluable insights from her journey.

Discussion Topics

• Warning Signs: Learn how to identify early indicators that a CVC may be at risk before it hits the headlines.
• Foundations & Governance: Understand the importance of charter and governance structures during leadership changes.
• Liquidity & KPIs: Discuss capital return strategies, DPI discipline, and reporting that resonates with the board.
