🎁 Gift for All Podcast Listeners Below 👇 Jordan Schlipf is a serial tech entrepreneur and early-stage investor who accidentally fell into corporate innovation when founding Rainmaking; first via our network of Startupbootcamp accelerator programs and later with our global innovation consultancy - Rainmaking Innovation. Today, as Founder & CEO of the Rainmaking Venture Studio ('RVS'), I have returned to my true passion and profession - founding and investing in new starups. RVS is the world's first investment-only CVB where we partner with large corporations to de-risk the process of building new businesses. Rainmaking Venture Studio offers a model for large companies to acquire the startups they want at the time that they need them at a price they can afford. We combine the scale strengths of large companies with our deep experience building ventures to create high-growth ventures. This approach de-risks the process of building strategically aligned businesses for corporate partners, without losing long-term ownership.

We act as professional venture builders and investors, co-investing with companies and sharing in the risk and reward. We're not consultants or a development agency, so we never charge fees but act as true partners.

We unleash the power of entrepreneurship to solve big problems with the world’s leading companies.
