Startup
Firms
ART,
with its broad technological,
industry and geographic market
coverage, can help an already
well-financed startup firm find
those key people to devise and
manage
their next stage of development.
Our candidates are available to
help startups become
full-scale, fully profitable,
ongoing ventures, either as
privately held firms or firms on
track to IPO. Our candidates are
also available to help startups
planning to build industry and
investment community contacts,
with the ultimate goal of being
acquired by or merged into a
larger firm.
ART can
introduce your firm to people who
might help your company more
effectively reach your target
audience, potential partners or
customers. These candidates may come
from your competitors or from other
very useful industries.
ART is
always interested in those
candidates who have the experience
to manage or guide the transition of
start-up firms into fully profitable
ongoing ventures.
Needless
to say, ART is only interested in
working with startup firms whose
founders and owners sincerely
believe that their company's high
quality products or services are of
provable value to their customers,
investors, and society at large.
ART
does not accept searches for
managers who are expected to serve
as either the funders of the startup
or to essentially find capital to
pay their own salaries and our fees.
The
startup must already be financially
viable and well funded when ART is
contracted, and our candidates are
intended by the client to provide
growth and development for the
startup, but not for they
themselves to be the funders or
financial sustainers of a
floundering startup.
Depending
upon the venture's market, ART
usually likes a potential startup
client to evidence approximately
US$10m in startup capital
from well recognized and
provable
sources of investment
capital. Some formal documentation
of such funding might be requested
prior to the commencement
of the search engagement.
