Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.
