. We believe we have built a repeatable, systematic, risk managed approach to business building that is substantially different from traditional VC models. Innventure is not a venture capital company. VCs typically make many minority investments, assuming that only a small percentage will succeed and do not operate the underlying companies. In contrast to this approach, Innventure maintains controlling stakes in a limited number of operating companies that we vet, launch, build, fund and operate, with the goal of operating these companies over a long-term period. The Innventure model is designed to help mitigate the significant risks inherent to establishing and building disruptive businesses.

Using our proprietary DownSelect approach, we focus on assessing and mitigating risk well before the new Innventure Company is formed. When we do launch, we believe new Operating Companies are more mature than typical startups, due to the extensive investment by the MNC or other technology innovators in developing technology solutions, the rigor of the Innventure DownSelect process, and the experience of our Innventure company leaders. This prospective head start, coupled with the other components of the Innventure model, are designed to yield a higher success rate than other start-ups and VC-backed companies.

#### Sustainability as a Value Driver
We believe sustainability issues create new markets and are primary drivers of revenue, cost, and risk that impact value creation for long-term
