Interesting discussion, especially with regard to established companies partnering and investing in startups. While I think additional investment is great for startups I also think it has a lot more potential “dangers” than a straight up investment from a VC. In particular making sure your objectives are aligned, that the organisation making the investment also understands the startup mindset and that they don’t try and use their weight as the partner of the two parties to steer the ship in a direction that doesn’t gel with the ethos of the company.
