Survival rate of Corporate VC units
Ilya Strebulaev at Stanford conducted an in-depth analysis of all Corporate VC units of S&P500 companies. In total, he identified 94 CVCs and interviewed 74 of their leaders and repeated this after three years. This analysis showed that 31% of S&P500 CVC ventures got disbanded or stopped being active due to no active investments.

Indeed company patience is around 3 years leading to a first dip with a second dip after the next 3 years. In this way two thirds of CVCs fail in a decade. To improve this Corporates collaborate in the Corporate Venturing Network, sharing best practices but also failures enhancing their corporate venturing practices.
