There are numerous ways that startups and enterprises can collaborate, but the method gaining the most traction in recent years is through innovation partnerships.
Both parties benefit because the startup gains access to a new testing ground for their technologies and services, while the enterprise can leverage the agility and ingenuity of startups to unlock new business opportunities.
Startup-corporate partnerships vary depending on the project and its duration; however, there are two main strategies: plug-and-play or POC/pilot projects.
With a plug-and-play solution, the startup simply “plugs” their technology into the corporation’s existing infrastructure, and it’s off to the races. This typically applies to straightforward, one-size-fits-all products/services with a successful track record.
The second method – conducting a proof of concept (POC) or pilot project – tends to be much more collaborative. The roles and responsibilities of both parties vary depending on the project scope; however, startups and corporates usually work closely together to adopt the startup’s solution to the enterprise’s needs. This method may require multiple iterations since both startups and enterprises are entering uncharted waters.
Even the smallest startup can partner with Fortune 500 companies – so long as there is a good use case/product fit. By this, we mean that the startup must demonstrate how their product/service provides the perfect solution for the particular challenge an enterprise faces.
Corporates and multinationals benefit from working with startups because startups are generally more agile and innovative. When corporates find the right startup partner, such collaboration can result in novel products, new revenue streams, diversification opportunities, and more.
