Corporate Round or Corporate Venture Capital (CVC)

A corporate round occurs when a company, rather than a venture capital firm, invests in another company either from their balance sheet or through a separate Corporate VC fund (CVC) where the single LP is the corporate entity. These are often, though not necessarily, done for the prime purpose of forming a strategic partnership and secondary for pure financial returns.
