We ask companies that are interested in working with us to submit a corporate profile of their business. The corporate profile has two parts:
- The Benchmark Survey, which provides a high-level view of your business. As a standard measure, the Entrepreneurial Standards Forum's Benchmark Survey is far more effective than business plans or executive summaries at giving us an initial understanding of your business, and focuses the early discussions on the right topics. Most executives complete the Benchmark Survey in about 20 minutes.
- An Investment Summary, which describes your business as an investment opportunity. You are invited to attach an Executive Summary (five pages maximum) to your Investment Summary.
The online corporate profile asks only for high-level data, of the type provided at public events such as business plan competitions. Indeed, we ask that you not provide any sensitive or proprietary data in your corporate profile.
After we review your corporate profile, we will contact you to schedule an initial meeting. This meeting's purpose is to develop a better understanding of your business and investment needs, and to answer your questions about what you may expect in working with us.
