When considering possible strategic partnerships, there are plenty of reasons why an early-stage startup may want to work with a Fortune 100 company. Mainly, the startup can gain greater access to resources and infrastructure along with the ability to tap into their partner’s established market and network. Association with these companies can also provide credibility and lead to long-term opportunities. But Fortune 100 companies have just as much reason to work with early-stage startups, known for their innovation, agility, and ability to disrupt established players in the market. So what can early-stage startups do to identify and nurture these collaborations?
