Becton Dickinson's Ventures
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
Becton Dickinson doesn't want any technology surprises blindsiding its businesses, so it's set up both a $40 million venture fund and a technology incubator. The latter offers space and facilities to North Carolina-based start-ups, the former funding for start-ups anywhere. The only condition in both cases: common strategic interests, at least in the long-term.
