About Us

We help large companies find & implement emerging tech by compressing the typical 18 month decision process into 6 weeks and reducing costs by more than 10x.

The Problem: External innovation is critical to competitive survival and cost control. Finding it is costly and slow. Typical delays mean lost opportunities, and exposure to being outflanked by more nimble competitors.

Our Solutions:

We enable discovery of the innovations most critical to our customer achieving its goals each year. ETsource™ contains thousands of companies and IP listings, across all technology sectors, and from all funding sources.

ETtools, patented study and collaboration tools, enable corporate consensus in hours.

ETforums – Build Your Own Private Industry Meeting. We can vet and prepare the vendors you’ve discovered for presentation. Using our techniques, 7 of 10 presenters are asked to move to proposal phase. We eliminate the 5 sales calls each vendor would have typically required to reach the point of meaningful engagement.

Target Market:

Our focus is the large-enterprise buyer that regularly searches for emerging tech. By serving their needs we pull through demand for innovation from emerging tech companies and IP sources and push out value to emerging tech sellers, investors, university IP managers, innovation NGOs, and tech blog/media readers.

Management:

We are experienced entrepreneurs with successful exits, and are recognized globally as leaders in investment portfolio biz dev. Past positions within small high-tech companies and Fortune 500 companies mean we understand our marketplace from all perspectives.
