Elixirr is proud to present Challenger Network News, the show that takes your weekly news round-up to the next level. Hosted by Brandon Bichler, Partner at Elixirr, we debate the top news stories of the week alongside industry experts.

This week, we look into the changing attitudes towards corporate venture capital (CVC). CVC has long been thought of as ‘dumb money’. But with digital payments platform Stripe recently being valued at $95 billion after investments from corporates including Allianz and AXA, this belief is seemingly redundant.

Is it time we challenged these assumptions? Tune in to hear Brandon Bichler and guest Matt Connolly, CEO @ Sønr, discuss their thoughts.
