Drew Beechler: Welcome back everyone to Advantage, the Alloy Partners podcast. I'm Drew Beachler, your host, and I'm thrilled to be kicking off season two with you. I thought I would just record a quick teaser episode to let you know what all we're gonna be talking about in season two If you're new here, advantage, season one was all about trends we were seeing within the innovation landscape and startup landscape coming at 2025. And in season two, we're gonna be specifically exploring how startups and corporations win together. We wanna shine a spotlight on the real stories behind venture building, joint ventures, r and d, spin outs, enterprise partnership deals, corporate accelerators, and so much more.
Our mission is to show how corporations can double down on their right to win by leveraging startups to fill market gaps and unlock untapped growth opportunities. And so this season we're dialing it up. We're bringing you conversations with corporate innovators, founders, VCs, and investors who are on the front lines of building new [00:01:00] ventures, forging partnerships that are moving the needle.
You'll hear firsthand how these collaborations come together, the wins, the stumbles, and the lessons learned along the way. Each episode I will most likely be joined by rotating co-host from the Alloy Partners teams. So you'll get a fresh perspective and deep dives into different industries. Whether you're a corporate leader looking to future proof for business, a founder navigating enterprise partnerships, or an investor curious about what the next wave of venture building and venture studios is going to bring, there's something here for you.
So here's what to expect this season. Honest behind the scenes stories of successful and sometimes not so successful corporate startup partnerships and engagements. Insights into how large organizations are using startup creation to solve big, complex entrench problems an emerging trends in innovation within specific industries like healthcare and FinTech and sustainability, and how incumbents are partnering with startups to disrupt their own industries. We'll also be sharing some practical advice for people interested in building, investing, and partnering with venture builders and with startups.
At Alloy Partners, we believe that when startups and corporations come together with the right strategy and mindset, we can [00:02:00] create outsized impact. Advantaged is your front row seat to those stories, and we're excited to have you along for the ride.
