Growth Plan

Outcome-Driven Ventures

Our portfolio of new ventures is unique
because it’s built around jobs-to-be-done.

The traditional venture process is broken because its success its dependent on innovation methods that just don’t work. Over the past ten years venture returns have been 0.0%. We launch new ventures using our breakthrough Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI) process. ODI enables us to mitigate the risk and accelerate the growth of our portfolio companies.

 

We mitigate the risk of failure

Using the ultimate upgrade in venture innovation

The traditional venture model is broken because it fails to give entrepreneurs the tools they need to innovate consistently and predictably. Failing fast is not a recipe for success, it is a guarantee of only one thing: failure. Outcome-Driven Innovation enables us to generate and test product ideas before we invest in any development. Our proven process gives our portfolio companies and our corporate venturing partners a better chance of success.

We attract the best venture talent

Because people want to win, and we show them how

Entrepreneurs, executives, product managers, and engineers who have used traditional innovation methods know the truth: these methods just don’t work. Success with new ventures traditionally works like a casino: it is better to be lucky than smart. But we don’t like to gamble, so we stack the odds in our favor by thinking differently about every part of the venture innovation process. We use Outcome-Driven Innovation as the DNA of our portfolio companies to give our teams winning odds.

We partner with the Fortune 500

To give our portfolio companies the support they need to grow fast

We have a two-decade track record of launching breakthrough innovations with the world’s leading companies. They know us well and we know them. Our corporate venturing partners give our portfolio companies a competitive execution advantage by bringing unparalleled distribution and go to market partnership capabilities. Launching a successful new venture is tough, but our portfolio companies go to market with corporate venturing partners experienced in battle.
