A company's next growth starts with outside innovation
When industry boundaries shift quickly, internal capabilities alone can't explore every possibility. An open innovation fund connects a company's industry experience with startup technology to uncover new growth opportunities.
The results of investment and collaboration feed back into the next strategy and investment decisions, creating new growth opportunities.
We combine a company's industry expertise with a specialist manager's investment capability. Each side's strengths work within a single structure.
The partner company brings industry understanding, strategic direction, and business infrastructure. Gravity Ventures runs the fund, from sourcing and review to execution and portfolio management. Connecting the two builds a foundation for continuously exploring and executing on strategic opportunities.
By connecting different kinds of expertise, we assess investment potential and business applicability together.
An open innovation fund proves itself not in deal count but in the PoCs and business collaboration that follow.
Finding and investing in promising startups is only the starting point. Financial returns and strategic value emerge together when the technology is proven in the field and leads to business-unit collaboration and follow-on growth.
We define the role and criteria for each stage so investment, technical validation, and business collaboration flow as one.
Good investments alone don't complete innovation
For investment and business collaboration to move in the same direction, strategy, roles, and execution must be designed together.
Key conditions for execution
Successful open innovation starts with investment, but is completed when strategy and business connect.
Gravity Ventures stays with you through the entire process so that connection turns into real execution.
