Cracking Corporate Sales x SMIL Pre-Event
The session will give you practical insight into the corporate buying journey, including stakeholder mapping and the key decision areas that influence whether a collaboration moves forward internally. The goal is to help you navigate corporate conversations more strategically and increase your chances of creating momentum after the first meeting.
The pre-event runs alongside a parallel session for members of the Corporate Venturing Network, creating a shared starting point, and room to connect with corporates interested in collaborating with startups, before we all continue to SMIL together.
