I'm a CVC. Can I join the VCA?

Corporate venture platforms are welcome to join the VCA.

The VCA commitment applies firm-wide for all venture-dedicated assets under management, not on a fund-by-fund basis. To the extent a firm employs multiple investment strategies across asset classes (PE, project finance, etc.) such firm should implement the VCA commitment only for strategies engaged primarily in venture investing, as determined by the firm on a good faith basis.

Although its founding members are VC firms, the VCA acknowledges the critical role that corporate venture activities play in driving innovation and deploying new technologies and products in the real economy, where they can have a more immediate impact on near-term decarbonization. Over time the VCA may consider a dedicated work stream on corporate venture.
