World of Corporate Venturing 2015 and Annual Review survey

1. World of Corporate Venturing 2015 survey

33% of survey complete.

The answers to the following 14 questions will form the basis for The World Corporate Venturing Report, published in January, which aims to be the definitive document on corporate venturing.

Please answer as many of these questions as you feel comfortable. If, for example, you don't wish to respond on questions about deal flow, that isn't an issue, please just answer the other questions - the more information we have from everyone the better the report will be!

All of the below are multiple choice answers and kept confidential, taking no more than 2 minutes to complete, and getting you a free print copy of the report in the process. Respondents to the questions will also be entered into a prize draw for an iPad mini - which is always useful just before the holiday season!

If you have any questions or concerns about this report, and how the information will be used, please contact Toby Lewis on tlewis@globalcorporateventuring.com.

Thank you in advance for your help.
