Boeing was seeking to sharpen its approach to startup investments, with the challenge of identifying which emerging ventures could deliver long-term impact. We applied our corporate venturing methodology, drawing inspiration from how leading companies in tech, mobility, and finance structure investment portfolios. We combined this with technology trend mapping and stakeholder trust analysis, creating a framework that helped Boeing not only spot high-potential startups but also reduce investment risk. The result was a scalable venturing strategy to accelerate Boeing’s innovation ecosystem and strengthen its position in future-critical technologies.
