Venture Capital 2025

BRAZIL Trends and Developments Contributed by: Fernanda Levy, FM/Derraik

• Strategic alignment: Effective integration with corporate strategy, overcoming cultural bar - riers, and balancing financial and strategic objectives. CVC initiatives must be closely tied to corporate goals, ensuring investments contribute to long-term innovation rather than short-term financial gain. • Long-term vision: Unlike traditional invest - ments, venture capital requires patience. Ben - efits from start-up partnerships and innova - tion-driven growth materialise gradually. • CVC team composition and post-investment engagement: The success of a CVC depends on a well-structured team that blends corpo - rate experience with venture capital expertise, fostering efficient portfolio management and enhancing value creation.

• Regulatory and other operational challenges: Bureaucracy within the corporation’s struc - ture, along other regulatory and compliance hurdles in certain sectors, can slow down CVC operations. Corporations need to adopt agile and adaptive frameworks to mitigate these obstacles. Despite these challenges, companies that skil - fully navigate the complexities of CVC can unlock significant value, driving innovation while strengthening their market position. A well- structured, actively managed CVC strategy has the potential to transform corporate innovation and fuel sustainable growth.
