Fortune 500 companies have a corporate development function but startups and scaleups typically do not because they lack the capital to employ a full-time, dedicated corporate development team. Yet private companies, alternative asset funds, and startups need corporate development even more than enterprises do because they are capital-starved — and raising capital is a full-time job that conflicts with the full-time job that is growing and operating a company. Just as every startup needs fractional accounting and legal services, every startup needs fractional corporate development services. The solution: Corporate-Development-as-a-Service or “CDaaS.”
