Corporate venture capital (CVC) is the investment of corporate funds directly in external startup companies.[1] CVC is defined by the Business Dictionary as the "practice where a large firm takes an equity stake in a small but innovative or specialist firm, to which it may also provide management and marketing expertise; the objective is to gain a specific competitive advantage."[2] Examples of CVCs include GV and Intel Capital.
