Automotive World has published a new report, ‘Special report: VCs and start-ups in the auto industry’ which explores the role of venture capital (VC) companies in the auto industry, and their relationship with start-ups developing niche technology.
In a world of rapidly developing technology, small start-up companies with game-changing ideas can make all the difference for a supplier or a vehicle manufacturer. However, nurturing that technology, developing the company, preparing the product or concept for scale and sale – these are too often out of the scope of a small niche supplier. This is where venture capital comes in – specialist investors prepared to develop a company to a certain point, and then reap the rewards of that investment when the time is right.
This Automotive World special report examines the role of venture capital in the automotive industry, with insight from OEM and supplier VCs, as well as independent VCs and start-ups.
‘Special report: VCs and start-ups in the auto industry’ (https://www.automotiveworld.com/research/special-report-vcs-start-ups-auto-industry/) is available to download now from the research section of AutomotiveWorld.com.
