In this episode of Corporate Venturing Insider, Nicolas Sauvage speaks with Ana Lopes of IBM Ventures about her journey from astrophysics and MIT tech transfer to startup building, GE Ventures, and IBM Ventures. Ana shares lessons on translating science from lab to market, why founders should start with the problem rather than the technology, and how corporate VCs can provide “capital plus” through customer access, strategic validation, and go-to-market support. They also discuss IBM Ventures’ focus on enterprise AI, hybrid cloud, and quantum computing, plus how CVC teams can bring market signals back to the mothership.
