Our approach
Business model supported by four pillars that connects major stakeholders & speeds up innovation
CVB
A corporate venture builder: newly created holding company that incorporates industry stakeholders, investors, management, and partners.
Startups
Shared Services Center
Global Connection Hub
An international ecosystem that connects the startups with investors, innovators, and venture builders.
Tested and validated venture-building framework
Create a CVB to run the innovation program
As the first step, we create a company—a corporate venture builder—that will be running your innovation program as an independent entity with you as the main shareholder. FCJ will act as your business partner and invest its resources to set up and support the newly created CVB as a founding shareholder to mitigate your risks.
Raise capital to operate the innovation program
To keep your investment low, we help you raise the necessary capital to operate the CVB, which will invest its resources in the startups through an investment holding in a corporate structure.
Determine company’s objectives
Before we start searching for the right solutions, we identify the problems: your company’s pain points that the newly created CVB will be solving. By prioritizing those pain points, we’ll ensure that you’ll see the positive impact of the innovation program faster.
Pick the right startups
We’ll hire a dedicated team of highly skilled professionals who will pick the early-stage startups with innovative solutions that will help your company solve its pain points. You’ll be able to participate and make decisions at any stage of the selection process through a selection committee.
The startups will remain independent, with CVB owning up to 15%.
Develop the startups
The same professional team will develop the startups using our tried and tested methodology. The startups will have access to the Shared Service Center and its financial, marketing, legal, HR, project management, and other important services, which will allow them to focus on innovation and sales and drastically speed up their development.
Integrate startups into your company’s processes
We’ll help the startups integrate their solutions in your internal and external processes as proof of concept to make sure that their innovations will help reach the objectives of the CVB and solve the challenges of your company effectively.
Help startups scale
We’ll help startups develop so they can achieve recurring revenue and scale in a sustainable way, reaching the necessary milestones and raising funds to boost their growth.
Decide on your final step
As the last step of the innovation program, after a startup reaches a certain valuation stage, the CVB takes an exit, and you can decide whether the solution remains independent or whether your company will have partial or full ownership in it
