The best VCs, corporate or not, are the ones who actually help. The rest are just capital.

[Highline Beta @HighlineBeta]

Ten years ago, founders avoided CVCs for fear of misaligned incentives. Today, the best CVCs operate exactly like traditional VCs—just with a sharper industry edge.

[Highline Beta @HighlineBeta]

The evolution of CVCs has been driven by: — The need for real returns.
— A more founder-friendly approach—no more exclusivity clauses or rights of first refusal.
— A shift from single-LP CVCs to multi-LP models—creating alignment across industries.

Dan Reed came on Beyond the Core this week to talk about how startups fall into two camps: disruptors and enablers.

[Highline Beta @HighlineBeta]

Disruptors aim to compete with incumbents, often by building more efficient, tech-driven alternatives.

Enablers, on the other hand, sell into the industry, embedding new solutions into existing infrastructure.

Which side do you think has the bigger opportunity right now?
