Abstract

In this article, the authors argue that too much risk capital supporting innovation goes to apps, gadgets, and digital conveniences, as funders increasingly look for easy, low-risk returns and often lack the know-how to evaluate ventures with more ambitious scientific and technical goals. This needs to change if technology is going to fulfill its promise of a better world for all. Corporate venture capitalists are well positioned to do more to help innovators survive the challenges of scaling.
