Venture Management Division

Our focus is the generation of upside for your company, your investors, your potential investors, your management team and staff. And ourselves. Perhaps a little early to be so transparent, but in fact this is the key to collective success – we all have skin-in-the-game and if we're to reduce fees for stock, you can be sure that we believe in your opportunity and expect to drive it towards success.

Generating Upside
Our definition of 'upside' is financial liquidity. Liquidity garnered from unique intellectual property and unique services, brought to market and leveraged by trade sale, IPO or robust, dividend-supporting cash flow.

Venture Management
Our Venture Management team normally engages with companies that have received at least one round of funding. We do sometimes work with companies that are pre-funding, but with exceptional revenue potential.

Our Venture Management service addresses the key fundamentals that each company needs to succeed in its early life and prepare for future funding rounds. Our 7 Steps Beyond Start-upTM program helps navigate companies away from the risk of premature failure by mitigating risks such as technology failure, sales progress and engineering misalignment, failure to secure high-level customer reference and cash-burnout before the next funding round is secured.

The 7 Steps Beyond Start-upTM
  1. IP Development & Protection
  2. Management Team Build-out
  3. Market Proposition Development
  4. Customer Identification
  5. Reference Accounts
  6. Next Funding Round Business Plan
  7. Channel Development
The Drive to Stakeholder Value
The most effective strategies require the integration of all disciplines within a company. We are experienced in working closely with clients' senior management, marketing staff, sales staff, technologists, and engineers to ensure buy-in and total alignment of goals and objectives.
