Turning Corporate VC into an Exploration Machine (with TDK Ventures)

In this episode of Advantaged, host Drew Beechler talks with Nicolas Sauvage, founder and president of TDK Ventures, about how he built TDK’s corporate venture arm as an exploration engine rather than a purely incremental investor. They explore the balance between exploitation and exploration, why Nicolas describes TDK Ventures as “purely financial,” and how strategic and financial outcomes converge when portfolio companies become category leaders.
