Our goal is to always keep the focus on the product, getting that product into market as quickly as possible, testing it, finding revenue, and then helping to assemble the proper team to help the product and new-found company excel.
We focus on consumer technology products that help people learn about or achieve the things they love. All of the ventures we create or advise are made up of compact teams. Most of our entrepreneurs have had previous success. All of them are focused on finding revenue within one year from launch. We like it when that revenue has the potential to be sustaining.
Our model is very different from traditional venture. While it would be silly to say that we’re not interested in helping to build the next google – that is not the focus of our business. With rare exception we only focus on creating and advising consumer media products that have the potential to pay dividends by their third year. Our team likes products that can help brands create unique experiences for their audiences and learn more about their customers behavior. Often, we try to select ideas that can be cross pollinated so that they can benefit from shared testing and growth strategy.
The entrepreneurs that we seek out have almost always mastered traditional services in a consumer market… TLM helps them understand technology, or the business of technology. We work exclusively with early stage companies. Our team often helps to fill the administrative gap that can suck away an entrepreneurs time. Our goal is to always keep the focus on the product, getting that product into market as quickly as possible, testing it, finding revenue, and then helping to assemble the proper team to help the product and new-found company excel.
Our strategy is to share as much information as possible within our network. We do believe in secretes, but think that they often get in the way of progress. Progress is the thing that we believe in the most… and we know that we have succeeded when we are able to help an entrepreneur progress and better express, intuit, and internalize their visions story.
