Innovative Corporate Venture Capital Structure

Invent Capital operates under a unique structure, having secured investments not only from its parent company, Chess Group, but also from the European Investment Bank (EIB). This dual funding allows Invent to position itself distinctly from traditional corporate venture capital, adding credibility in the eyes of startup founders and the wider VC community. The co-investment agreement ensures that investments made from one fund are matched by the other, promoting trust and collaboration. This setup reflects an effort to transcend typical corporate venture boundaries while still adhering to strategic objectives.
