There are two massive trends washing over the venture business: (1) lean startups and (2) globalization of entrepreneurship. So, how does a VC keep track of the best investment opportunities that are so fragmented, often so small, and so diverse?
Some VCs are looking at incubators to help them scout for deals. For example, Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, and General Catalyst have all done deals with YCombinator to seed fund entire batches of incubatee companies.
But if you are not a top tier VC firm in Silicon Valley, even the local eco-system doesn’t help you very much because you are cut out of the best deals.
And what if you are looking for deals in Indonesia? Or Brazil? Or Russia? The incubators are not as strong. The eco-system is not as mature. How will you play?
As a 21st century VC, you need a strategy to address both of those trends (1) lean startups and (2) globalization.

We are working with many corporate partners, helping their eco-systems with incubation support, including SAP, Oracle, Rackspace, Microsoft, Nokia, Elance, TradeKing, A&N Media, BlueSnap, various TiE chapters, colleges and universities, etc. Nothing is too small for us. No geography is not of interest to us. Wherever, and at whatever scale you would like to build your incubator, we look forward to working with you shoulder to shoulder.
