For Corporations
Startups create constant pressure that threatens to disrupt established ways of doing business. That pressure is one of the primary reasons why the average company lifespan on the S&P 500 has collapsed by nearly 70% since the 1960s.
Established corporations can use venture capital to plan for market disruptions, inform corporate strategy, and minimize surprises—while creating a profit center instead of a cost center. Venture capital insights can help shape strategy, M&A, and commercial relationships with entrepreneurs. Hayman Capital believes venture capital provides a unique collaboration opportunity for these two ecosystems.
Hayman Capital has pioneered “venture capital as a service,” a unique approach to delivering strategic benefits and financial discipline for corporate innovation. Our model enables corporations to maintain full control while following this industry’s specialized best practices.
Our team works hand-in-hand with your executives to implement professionalized, disciplined corporate venture solutions. We strive to be a seamless extension of your internal team.
There are three ways for your corporation to leverage Venture Capital as a Service:
Venture capital is one of the riskiest asset classes, so it’s essential to develop a thoughtful plan before making investments. We can help you create a corporate VC program positioned to deliver financial and strategic success.

Hayman Capital co-manages the ongoing work of running a venture capital program by implementing best practices that have proven successful since the formation of the first corporate venture capital firms. We take responsibility for organizing the core activities of your corporate venture capital fund or strategic investing program, working closely with your in-house corporate development team.
Hayman Capital generates deal flow within your target sectors, stages, and geographies and responds to internally generated leads.
Our team performs business due diligence on potential investments, prepares investment committee materials, and manages transactions to closing.
Hayman Capital can provide oversight on the boards of portfolio companies, assist with commercial transactions, and manage deals to exit.
One size does not fit all when it comes to corporate innovation. Our team is skilled at all aspects of the “build-buy-partner-invest” toolkit and can create a custom offering to meet the strategic needs of your organization, even if you have an existing corporate venture capital program.
We can extend the capabilities of your in-house corporate venture team by providing targeted co-investment opportunities, investment committee support, access to training & best practices, and more.
We work with clients to conduct exhaustive research into topics of interest by mapping the landscape, speaking to dozens of startups, and providing recommendations for how the corporation can engage.
The same pipeline of venture capital investment opportunities may also be relevant as potential acquisitions. We offer M&A support as a stand-alone service, or in combination with CVC funds.
Hayman Capital can help align your corporate venture effort with industry standards, comparing your program to 80+ best practices to help ensure the longevity and impact of your CVC.
