Corporate venture capital is booming. While concerns over venture capital markets becoming irrationally exuberant abound, large corporations show no signs of tempering their venture investing activities. In the first quarter of this year, venture capital funds funded and operated by corporations accounted for nearly 17% of total venture capital dollars invested, more than double its share five years ago. In aggregate, corporate venture groups invested $5.4 billion across 775 deals in 2014.
