Having spent over a decade building startups and ecosystems and subsequently connecting corporates with startups, I’ve repeatedly found myself scribbling notes with the intention of passing on some of these experiences. But like most other curious beings new projects take over quickly, and thoughts remain unstructured bits of information. This is my attempt to gather some of the more relevant bits on the topic of Corporate-Startup-Engagement (CSE).

Why do it?

I want to start out by challenging the obvious. Why would a corporate even consider working with startups?
