Innovate with venture building

What is a VB & how does it help?
I know what a VB is. What’s your approach?

What is a venture builder (VB)?

A venture builder is a company that creates, launches, and scales new businesses using its own resources and networks.

Unlike venture capital, a venture builder does not invest directly in startups. Instead, it helps startups raise funds and grow visibility by hiring highly qualified teams and staying involved in their day-to-day management.

How can a VB help you grow?

If you want to innovate to keep growing but don’t have or don’t want to allocate your own funds or resources, a venture builder like FCJ is just what you need. We will create a portfolio of carefully chosen startups and use the VB’s resources to help them scale fast so you can make up for the lack of innovation within your company.

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

A portfolio of hand-picked startups that bring the necessary innovations to the main corporation.

Shared Services Center

Coworking space, IT infrastructure, marketing, legal, and other important services startups can access to scale faster.

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 between 5% and 20%.

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
