The Venture Client Alliance is a community of leading industrial companies working together to adopt startup innovation—faster and more effectively.
Led by Combient Foundry, the alliance offers a structured way to launch startup collaborations, share learnings across companies, and turn strategy into real results. It’s not just a network—it’s a practical system used by Venture Client Units across industries to scale what works.
We co-create your internal venture client operating model — defining strategy, funnel logic, governance, team roles, KPIs, and workflows.
We start with real, validated business needs—mapped to strategic priorities and backed by internal commitment. Together, we define startup briefs, scout globally, and match your challenges with high-potential solutions.
We guide you through focused pilot projects that deliver learning and results. From scope definition and internal alignment to startup onboarding and milestone tracking, we ensure a smooth path from first meeting to measurable outcome.
Each collaboration is supported by proven workflows, templates, and governance processes—enabling faster decisions, better stakeholder engagement, and smoother adoption. We don’t just explore ideas—we enable real implementation.
Venture Clienting is a systematic approach for corporates to adopt startup innovation by becoming an early customer—not an investor. Unlike traditional accelerators or venture capital models, Venture Clienting focuses on solving real business problems by integrating startup technologies directly into operations. This model reduces risk, accelerates implementation, and ensures that both corporates and startups generate tangible value from day one. At Combient Foundry, we specialize in Venture Clienting at scale. We help industrial leaders identify strategic challenges, scout cutting-edge solutions, and structure collaborations that deliver measurable outcomes.
