After helping start Comcast Ventures, Rich left with two other partners to start Touchdown Ventures.

On this week’s episode, we have a great conversation about his perspective on Corporate VC as well as unpacking the model that Touchdown Ventures is pioneering.

I’ve asked you for feedback on email, Twitter, LinkedIn & Instagram about the kind of content you’re looking for.

I remain interested, but one thing I’m consistently hearing is that you want more information about Corporate Venture Capital as a growth strategy. Rich is a great person to kick off these conversations.
