Why PARTNER with P&G Corporate Platforms?
We prefer a strong, foundational partnership of mutual respect and collaboration with our innovation colleagues.
We like to spend our time solving our partners’ biggest issues...and prefer to tackle those issues “"head-on". For us, a truly successful partnership is one that evolves to the point where we can finish each others’ sentences...and ultimately speak the same language.
The following is a brief sample of the many companies, suppliers, and individuals that we partner and collaborate with in P&G Corporate Platforms.

"P&G Corporate Platforms is widely acclaimed as one of the best strategic partners ever seen in the Silicon Valley healthcare ecosystem. They have an extraordinary understanding of consumer health and are deeply committed to their partner companies. I consider the P&G Corporate Platforms team as both advisors and trusted colleagues."
CEO and Co-Founder, shopkick
"shopkick and P&G Corporate Platforms have developed one of the most unique partnerships between the Silicon Valley-based innovation world and the brand world. P&G has been embedded in our Palo Alto, CA office for the past 1 1/2 years. The daily engagement has led to designing shopkick as a mobile app that has value for consumers, retailers and brands alike – we both call it the 'three-legged stool approach'. And after 6 months in the market, shopkick reached 1 million users. Today, it is the largest location-based shopping app in the world. P&G has helped us get there through our powerful partnership."
Co-Founder and Past CEO-Chairman, MDVIP
"We started with 1 employee and one doctor. The next thing I knew, we were over 100 employees and 100+ doctors with revenues growing at a dynamic rate. Clearly we needed big time help. Along came Corporate Platforms (P&G). They added available cash, experience and most importantly, people. It was a great marriage and we continue to enjoy a warm professional and personal relationship."

Our experience with the Corporate Platforms team and with P&G at large has been outstanding. They truly are 'hands-on investors' in the best sense, proactively leveraging P&G's massive infrastructure, talents, and strengths to help our joint investment improve its branding and expand globally.
