Who are your target customers?
We have 4 primary target clients:
1. Startups (both VC funded and bootstrappers) that want the best chance of success and do not want to spend all of their cash on technology.
2. Venture capital firms that are looking to reduce cost, risk, and speed to market (including validation of idea) in an effort to increase shareholder value and success rate of portfolio companies.
3. Existing SMB's that are looking to create an online presence and increase revenue.
4. Enterprise clients that have had past web strategy failures that need a team that has experience managing the process, aligning the internal team, ensuring the final strategy and development efforts meet the organizational objectives, and delivering on-time/on-budget.
Tell us a little about your team.
We have a team of over 12 full time nerds, project managers, a designer, and a suit.
My team built battelle.org, cas.org, ohio department of health's family of websites incorporating web strategy, design, code, db's, etc.....we've done the same for hundreds of others. ($2 bil to 2 guys) We can do the same for you...you won't get fired for hiring us.
What are your biggest needs to get your startup to the next level?
The biggest need we have is to find quality startup clients that have an idea, business model, and some portion of leadership. We can then provide the services needed plus facilitate many other areas of their business so they can focus on their passion!
