This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Open Corporate Accelerator (OCA) PowerPoint presentation, contrasts 2 models of corporate accelerators: Open Corporate Accelerators (OCAs) and Conventional Corporate Accelerators (CAs). It highlights 4 key areas where these models differ, providing a clear framework for understanding their operational dynamics.
In the Participation section, OCAs are characterized by multiple corporate sponsors and startups, fostering a collaborative environment. This contrasts sharply with Conventional CAs, which typically involve an exclusive partnership between a single sponsor and a startup. This difference suggests that OCAs can leverage a broader network, potentially leading to more diverse innovation opportunities.
The Solution Focus area emphasizes that OCAs target late-stage startups with viable solutions, which are more likely to yield immediate results. In contrast, Conventional CAs often engage early-stage startups with unproven concepts, which may carry higher risks and longer timelines for development. This distinction indicates that OCAs may be better suited for organizations looking for quicker, more reliable outcomes.
Equity and investment practices also diverge significantly. OCAs offer contracted solution funding with optional equity stakes, allowing for flexibility in financial arrangements. Conventional CAs, on the other hand, typically require ownership or equity stakes in exchange for participation, which could deter some startups from engaging.
Finally, the Program Focus section illustrates that OCAs prioritize proof of concept (POC) projects in collaboration with business units, emphasizing solution scaling and implementation. Conventional CAs often provide mentoring and scaling assistance through co-selling and customer access, which may not be as directly aligned with immediate business needs.
This slide effectively outlines the advantages of the OCA model, suggesting it may be a more adaptable and effective choice for companies seeking to innovate through startup collaborations.
