Corporate venture capital operates within a substantial innovation market. Preqin placed global venture-capital assets under management at US$3.1 trillion in Q1 2024—US$1.6 trillion in Asia-Pacific, US$1.1 trillion in North America and US$0.2 trillion in Europe. India-focused VC assets were nearly US$45 billion at the end of 2023. Yet capital alone does not create strategic value: Silicon Valley Bank’s 2025 CVC study found that 51% of corporate venture teams cite speed and efficiency as persistent challenges, while AI continues to become a central investment priority.

Vaana helps corporates establish or strengthen the full CVC architecture: strategic purpose, investment themes, governance, decision rights, sourcing, evaluation, portfolio construction and performance measurement. Through our relationships across the United States, the European Union, Switzerland and India, we identify technologies with long-term relevance and assess the appropriate route—commercial partnership, pilot, minority investment, joint venture, venture build or acquisition.
Our themes are AI and enterprise technology; industrial, manufacturing and supply-chain technologies; energy transition and mobility; financial services and fintech; and scalable digital business models. We focus on technologies capable of strengthening the core business, creating strategic options or opening new growth markets. The objective is a repeatable innovation platform, not a portfolio of disconnected minority investments.
