Know What, Know How, and Know Who

Venture Incubation

When assessing early-stage companies, HBV first looks at the problem being solved. Simply put, the bigger the problem, the greater the opportunity - and the greater the value proposition that the solution represents.

Every good business begins with a sound product or solution, satisfied and referenceable customers, good people committed to serving their clients, and a management team with the vision and leadership required to deliver desired results. However, more is required to move an organization to the next level of achievement and reach its full potential.

Geoffrey Moore (Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado) and Paul Wiefels (The Chasm Companion) have explained in detail the six stages of the Technology Adoption Life Cycle and the appropriate winning strategies for each stage.

The strategic marketing programs that earn a business its early success need to evolve to earn the market's attention necessary to fuel the hyper-growth desired to reach the next level of market penetration. The development and execution of these programs frequently require skills, experience and contacts not yet contained within an early stage company.

Each stage of growth requires very different and distinct strategic programs with its own unique requirements.

We can help your business, through our expertise, experience, resources and relationships, successfully transition from the often slow-growth early-adopter stage to the hyper-growth stages, in order to optimize the value of your own innovation. In effect, we will help you successfully bridge Moore's chasm, and avoid the abyss of failure or stalled growth.

The HBV team is a proven group of business professionals. They are people who have actually 'been there, done that.' All have had extensive operating experience working with fast growing, technology-driven, entrepreneurial companies. We help our portfolio companies create value at all stages of their development by providing the business building guidance and know-how that comes from extensive, hands-on experience.
