We start by taking your basic information, and connecting over a quick Zoom call to better understand where you are in your journey, and how we might best help. We can’t help everyone, but we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction. As part of this introductory process, we recommend you record a short 7-minute pitch video of your concept or company. This will allow us to get to you faster, and also begins the process of pitch preparation that every startup must go through.

For the best of these pitches, we will schedule Zoom calls with a select group of our most relevant membership base. This will include investors who target your sector, service providers who have worked with companies like yours, ecosystem partners like incubators and accelerators, and anyone else we feel might be a good resource. This short Zoom call will start with your 7-minute pitch, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. From there you’ll be free to hop off the call, and we’ll ask our call participants to help provide us with feedback that we can summarize and send back to you.

This feedback is some of the most valuable intel we believe you’ll get. It’s relevant, insightful people in your value chain universe giving candid feedback how you can best improve. It’s not always right – innovators are often challenging the status quo – but we think you’ll find some useful tips and applications to put right to work.

Investors are always encouraged to reach out and connect with you directly. We do not make investment recommendations, and you are welcome to pitch and pursue investment from anyone who connects with you during our process. We also will forward the recording of your call to select members of our network who may find your startup to be of interest.

After these calls, we get to work making introductions, and helping you get to the next level. We are not an accelerator, so often this is where we introduce our ecosystem partners that can help you grow to the next level.
