Hacks to successfully win a corporate client and get the most out of the collaboration.
For an early stage startup, a corporate client can unlock many opportunities, such as financial support, access to extensive data, the ability to quickly grow brand presence, and of course strong connections to global customers. However, these industry giants are hard to win as clients and a successful partnership is even harder to hack due to the strategic differences between the two collaborators.
Nora Alfen, Head of Acceleration at Wayra Germany, the largest global corporate accelerator of Telefónica, knows the ins and outs of mediating between the different worlds of corporates and start- ups for Wayra. During her masterclass, Nora will share her advice to successfully win a corporate client and get the most out of the collaboration.
Lara Obst, Co-Founder and Chief Climate Officer at THE CLIMATE CHOICE, a portfolio of Wayra Germany, is a well-experienced climate expert and founder. Along with Katrin, Lara will share her experience of winning and building strong business relationships with corporates that enable customers to reach their goals: Being part of the change happening.
Join us at Factory Berlin Görlitzer Park if you’re an early stage startup founder ready to unlock the opportunities of corporate partnerships.
