Off-radar risks come from all points of the compass.  And disruptive innovations that threaten your business generally come from areas where you are not active. If you aren’t prepared, you will get thrown hard without warning.

To navigate these risks, North River Ventures has formed the Corporate Innovation Project.  A breakthrough in corporate venturing, CIP is a virtual venture capital platform that has no portfolio to protect and requires no capital commitment.  CIP is scalable, effective, fast and cheap.

Our objective is to double revenues for our strategic partners by turning disruptive innovation to advantage. To do so, we:

• Identify major discontinuities in the world’s largest markets.

• Forge go-to-market platforms that make innovation accretive, quickly.

• Tailor our sales doubling platforms to your circumstances, leveraging strengths and offsetting weaknesses.

• Source innovation that advances radical cost-reduction initiatives, to complement our top-line focus.

• Extend your corporate venturing and development activities, by adapting to existing programs.

.

Our approach is unique. We employ virtual venture capital to identify innovation at a fraction of the cost of scaling up your own venturing and investment program.   We source from any country, any company, any industry, from start-ups and large companies, from government labs and universities.

While all CIP strategic partners gain market intelligence, most build commercial relationships with off-radar innovators and profit from CIP’s go-to-market platforms.  A few—only if they choose—invest directly in key technologies and processes.  We want to double your sales, not gamble with your balance sheet.
