LEARN MORE ABOUT BCGDV
The next horizon of innovation will be owned by corporations. By accessing the priceless data resources of Fortune 1000 companies and applying a startup mentality throughout the business, BCGDV helps our corporate partners learn to think and act like venture capitalists, and together we drive the next wave of disruption and create a new breed of digital venture.
We also help clients deal with more immediate challenges, including the social and economic disruption caused by COVID-19. In this period of extraordinary change, it has never been more important for businesses to tap into the transformative power of innovation, including pioneering and deep-tech technologies, which are especially novel and offer significant advances over those currently in use.
BCGDV is uniquely positioned to help companies partner with deep-tech startups and participate in deep-tech ecosystems. We collaborate with corporations to pursue the seamless melding of technology with human ingenuity, forming bionic companies that will not only weather what’s coming but emerge stronger than ever.
BCG Digital Ventures assembles world-class teams from across multiple industries and integrates them with the rest of BCG. We then put their diverse skill sets into play in a cross-functional environment where all disciplines have a seat at the table and all participants feel empowered to execute to the best of their abilities. Pairing our multidisciplinary unit with your embedded team members results in a singular force rapidly pursuing the same goal. In many instances, BCGDV’s team members have become so invested in that goal that they join the ventures they launched with our clients.
BCGDV’s business largely revolves around pioneering technology, the subset of deep-tech tools that are scalable and supported by infrastructure. Our globe-spanning team targets deeply rooted pain points—including those stemming from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis—to uncover new profit pools through technology and design. The following innovation areas are where we’re launching tomorrow’s growth businesses:
Ultimately, though, our credibility will always rest upon the way we share the risks—and rewards—of corporate venturing and the creation of new business builds with our collaborative partners.
BCGDV combines knowledge, innovation, and strategy to turn challenges into successes.
