How Audi works with startups

Audi Startup Connect runs venture clienting at Audi: the company adopts startup solutions early as a customer, without taking equity. A five-stage pathway leads from scouting through a paid pilot purchase to adoption, and the entry bar is stated plainly: market-ready product, financially sound, a dedicated team.
