Technology Matchmaker (TMM)

 

TMM is a highly effective ìstrategic alliance opportunity meeting placeî with proven results. The Program has been Internet-based since 1995, and was the first of its kind to appear on the Net. You might use this Program if your objectives are any of the following: Accelerating a liquidity event; Enabling an exit strategy; Leveraging a market position; Creating product or technology leadership; Opening up new sales channels; Strengthening competitive advantage; Improving infrastructure and cost efficiency.

TMF offers 'virtual incubator' services to a select few 'Start-ups' that desire mentoring and 'on-tap' top level Management expertise and resources. The Start-up may be TMF conceived and internally incubated, or TMF may become a stakeholder in the new entity and provide key services and Advisory Board assistance in keeping with the Company's needs. Typical services include Business Plan creation or enhancement, financing assistance, strategic alliance initiatives, and more.

TMF has been called upon to assist companies, ranging from a Regional Bell Operating Company to smaller private and Public companies, in various disposition initiatives. In one case, in just 6 weeks, TMF facilitated a $1 Million sale of excess inventory, which had accumulated over a 3-year period.

Where there is a good fit with TMF's traditional investor contact base, TMF takes on certain funding projects. These include an emphasis on strategic Corporate partnerships. TMF has occasionally provided seed financing to incubate a new start-up. TMF also provides Business Plan enhancement and finds influential Advisory Board Members where appropriate.
