For Investors

If you are a VC, accredited investor, or part of an angel investment group, we'd like to hear from you.

Leveraging our position as one of Silicon Valley's premier startup consultancies, we are often the initial point of entry for cutting-edge companies "leaving the garage." We typically meet or talk with more than a dozen startups per week, but because our bandwidth is limited, we are extremely selective about who we work with. Previous clients have been funded by top-tier firms including Sequoia, Benchmark, Morgenthaler, RedPoint, Allegis, and many others. .

Benefits to investors include:

» Priority access to cohesive, fully-formed business plans, pitch decks and executive summaries
» Pre-screened deals—we accept new clients only if there is a compelling business opportunity, strong
   management team, large addressable market, and a clear, defensible competitive advantage
» Limited exclusivity and right of first refusal (you delineate what types of deals you want to see; if our
   clients are a potential fit, we'll send you an executive summary before they make the rounds)

Please contact us and let us know what types of deals you'd like to receive (by stage and industry focus).

In addition, we welcome inquiries regarding ways we can help you build value with your current portfolio companies, along such lines as:

» Pitch coaching, financial modeling, and development of roadshow-quality presentation materials
» Pre-investment due diligence, competitive research and business plan refinement
» Design and implementation of market validation programs, partnering deals, CFO services, and other
   startup consulting services.

We look forward to working with you. Contact us today to learn how we can help
