COOPERATIVE VENTURE CAPITAL MODEL: ENGINEERING AN INNOVATION PIPELINE

摘要

Overcoming the various "valleys of death" in the commercialisation process is one of the complex problems faced when supporting entrepreneurship and innovation. The creation of a pipeline of investable opportunities is needed by investors to diversify investing risks. Using a systems engineering approach, an alternative solution is found in the Cooperative Venture Capital Model (CVCM) that balances entrepreneurial support and mitigates risks to overcome these challenges to commercialisation. The CVCM creates an innovation pipeline that's validated by enterprise engineering principles.
