Rapid Venture Partners

Rapid develops ventures through collaborative innovation; we connect corporates and government entities with the world’s most talented entrepreneurs. Rapid introduces new ways of thinking and doing in order to create grow in changing competitive environments. Corporations are structured to maximize efficiency, minimize variances and avoid experimentation. Because this is incompatible with a culture in which risk-taking is a prerequisite for success, we have created a strategy that allows companies to harness the entrepreneurial expertise and to think outside the box. We fundamentally believe that the greatest success in innovation originates from entrepreneurs – not consultants. Rapid is an entrepreneurial organization that is driven by outcomes. Mission and Approach: Rapid recognized the inherent challenge faced by corporations in unearthing groundbreaking ideas solely within their internal structures. Leveraging this insight, we championed a collaborative approach to innovation, understanding that success in this realm necessitates the generation of numerous ideas to identify the true game-changer. Corporate-Startup Collaboration: At Rapid, we partner with corporate clients to establish Founder programs, providing vital resources to empower serial entrepreneurs worldwide in launching ventures aligned with corporate needs. Our unique model ensures that startups maintained ownership, control, and intellectual property rights, while benefiting from the expansive resources of our corporate partners. Unlocking Synergies: Our approach enables startups to tap into a rich repository of corporate resources spanning media, logistics, marketing, and various areas of expertise. This mutually beneficial relationship allows startups to access crucial support without compromising their independence, while corporations gain access to creative thinkers who could contribute significantly to their long-term success.
