VC - Traditional V Corporate
summary
Compares what each type actually does: deal size: $1M–$10M for early traditional checks vs strategic minority or balance-sheet bets by corporates, decision window: weeks for VCs, months for corporate committees, corporates trade equity for pilot programs + procurement access while traditional VCs trade mentorship and follow‑on capital; expected outcomes differ — faster customer traction with corporate pilots but slower exits when integration stalls; metrics emphasized are revenue run rate and procurement approvals, not just valuation.
