<p>James Mawson, CEO and founder of Mawsonia, the publishing company producing Global Corporate Venturing, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. </p> <p>In this conversation, we talk about the current state and the future of corporate venturing, the activity of big corporations who invest in startups in various ways, during and post-COVID-19.</p> <p>My takeaway is that corporate venturing has emerged as a more and more reliable and impactful asset class, born out of a desire to catch up on innovation but maturing into a significant, positive force for sustainable, high impact innovation, growing through shocks in the economy.</p> <p>After listening to the episode, check out Global Corporate Venturing as well as James Mawson's social media profile:</p> <ul><li>Global Corporate Venturing <a href='https://globalcorporateventuring.com/'>https://globalcorporateventuring.com/</a></li> <li>Corporate Venturing: A Survival Guide (2019) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1999369904</li> <li>Mawsonia <a href='https://mawsonia.com/'>https://mawsonia.com/</a></li> <li>James Mawson (@mawsonia) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesmawson/</li> </ul> <p>The show is hosted by <a href='https://www.podbean.com/'>Podbean</a> and can be found at <a href='https://www.futurized.co/'>Futurized.co</a>.
