Preparing Your Organization for Breakthrough Venture Building

In our recent webcast, we had the chance to hear from Sean Sheppard, Managing Partner at U+, and Martin Tarlie, a Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst at GMO, a Boston-based investment firm. Alex Slawsby, InnoLead’s Chief Growth Officer, moderated. 

Sheppard and Tarlie discussed the key steps for large companies to create breakthrough innovation such as focusing on commercialization, gaining philosophical alignment, and establishing customer value metrics. They also spoke about their collaboration on NEBO, a new technology-driven asset allocation and management platform for registered investment advisors (RIAs), and took a variety of questions from audience members. 

This webcast is part of our ongoing venture studios initiative. We’re aiming to help our community better understand the landscape of venture studios and venture builders, and to identify how they may prove valuable for many organizations.
