WE LOVE A CHALLENGE.
We work with each client/partner on a specific success plan to reach the next level of excellence. Sometimes we are enhancing a user experience with the latest technology. Sometimes we are helping David create a strategy to defeat Goliath. Other times, we are working on the launch of a new product or business that will be disruptive to the status quo. As our prior partners will tell you, we become a valuable asset to your initiative.
"Avoid mistakes and succeed on the first try."
We are your private problem-solving partner. We invest our time, energy, money and expertise into making your business more successful. We ensure that our interests and expectations are properly aligned. With the right strategy and execution, we all prosper.
THE IDEA FILTER™
A proprietary process, the Idea Filter™ is a complete lab analysis of the product/business concept. In fact, the Idea Filter has proven to raise the pre-money valuations on every company participating since 2011. Most entrepreneurs only “know what they know” and that is a one-sided evaluation. Outsiders don’t have a reason to be biased. We must find out the truth amidst moving consumer, market and technological conditions. The idea always comes out better.
STEALTH MARKET APPROACH
There is no alternative to a customer handing you money for your product or service. Businesses saying “We’ve had 100,000 downloads” or “1,000 customers are using our product” mean very little if the customer paid nothing and likely waste your time away from the true value proposition. We utilize a stealth approach that multiplies the effects of prototyping with initial market penetration. When we have one bullet in the gun, we cannot afford to misfire.
HIGHER ENTERPRISE VALUE
We understand all classes of investment capital and how investors view the business at its current stage. We know the ugly truth about why some good-looking businesses get left behind during fundraising. Thus, as a business co-investor, we are keeping this perspective on day #1 – which prevents mistakes that hurt enterprise value later. Just being affiliated with Idea Gateway’s experience and network will bring comfort to the big money when it’s time to ask.
