Commercial Introductions

By leveraging an extensive Rolodex of contacts accrued over the past two decades working in the Silicon Valley, Global Kinetics’ executives are adept at initiating individual introductions and conduct outreach to countless companies on behalf of client organizations – be it for the sale of clients’ products and/or services or for establishing prospective channel partnerships.

When considering business development activities, always remember the following adage:

“People do business with people because they choose to not because they have to. We can always find others doing the same thing or selling the same product, it’s the personal connection that makes the difference.”

Investor Introductions

Similar to the commercial introductions for sales and/or partnerships, Global Kinetics has substantial associations in the global investor community. As appropriate, to assist clients with capital raising activities, Global Kinetics is able to facilitate introductions to angel investors (both individually and to organized angel investor groups), venture capital firms, and private / corporate investor candidates. Additionally, as an angel investor, Global Kinetics can readily assist clients in preparing its clients for such discussions with prospective investors. We have a clear-cut understanding of the due diligence processes adhered to by the investor community and we offer relevant guidance to ensure a higher probability of success with capital raising initiatives. Don’t let your fundraising efforts come up short.

“Clearly, there are more routes to failure than to success.”

We have a finger on the pulse of the market and work with clients and key partners to craft strategies, messaging and overall positioning to help accelerate time to value. Finally, given the extensive sales leadership experience of the team, we can help review and assess clients’ sales processes, channels and strategies to ensure optimal outcomes.

Interim Executives
