Behind the Curtain: Getting Buy-in from your C-Suite with Special Guest, Beverly Rider
Whether you are a new CVC trying to get off the ground, or a longstanding CVC looking to get to the next level, you will inevitably need to get support from your C-Suite. Mach49 has secured special guest and long-time Fortune 500 C-Suite executive, Beverly Rider (former CCO of GM, CCO of Hitachi), for an exclusive interactive workshop designed to help you get into the minds of your top-level executives and win their support.
Come prepared with your burning questions that you could never ask your own C-Suite, and hear tactics from both Mach49 and Beverly on how to navigate to the next stage for your CVC. This session will also feature an exclusive look at current valuation trends, featuring proprietary data and insights from AUMNI.

Roundtable: Big Sur 3
Beyond Borders: CVC Opportunities in Emerging Regions
When it comes to emerging innovation zones outside of the traditional venture capital hubs in North America and Europe that have dominated investors' attention, corporates often have the "home team" advantage in both brand awareness and local expertise. In addition, more and more CVCs are leveraging their Mothership's multinational presence to expand their teams and mandates internationally into new startup ecosystems, starting to close critical gaps traditional VCs have a hard time filling.
From Estonia to Oceania to Asia, hear from a Mach49 roundtable of funds and government entities that will discuss the tactics and nuances of going global to develop a multi-national portfolio.
