The startup game-changing newsletter
Our Corporate Matching article outlined the three categories of collaboration that UBI Global is opening for startups to meet corporate innovation seekers. After reading the Corporate Calls vs. #savetheunicorns article, you are now familiar with two of the three categories, and we’ve saved the most intriguing for last. UBI Spotlight is known as the startup game-changer, and this article will explain how corporate matching with UBI Spotlight works.
What is UBI Spotlight?
UBI Spotlight is an email newsletter delivered to the inbox of more than three hundred CVCs, VCs, and corporate innovation teams. This is no ordinary database, but a super-charged subscription-based pool of innovation hungry professionals! These corporate innovators are so switched on to the quality of the UBI Global community, they have specifically subscribed to our newsletter that includes information on startups developing technology in their areas of interest.
The Question is… What is the Question? Read the article on the methods corporate innovation seekers use to scout for startups and new technology.
How does UBI Spotlight work?
The UBI Global Pro and Premium members nominate their best startups every quarter. The list is organized and segmented before being presented in UBI Spotlight to over 300 corporate innovation professionals in a newsletter. Each startup listing includes their logo, a two-line description, their website URL, and the contact information of the nominating business incubator or accelerator program.
Though UBI Global encourages corporate partners to contact incubators or accelerators directly if they are interested in a nominated startup, we are also happy to organize introductions between all parties, if requested.
