HOW DOES TYPHOON WORK?
We accomplish our mission by focusing on four key areas, the 4 T's of Typhoon:
* THINK TANK CONSULTING
* TRANSACTION SERVICES
* TALENT MANAGEMENT
* TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
When presented with a potential partner - a person, product, or business - we first determine what transaction makes the most sense to pursue. For an entrepreneur it may be the search for an invention or technology to commercialize, or it may be the need for funding. For a public company it may be the need to sell non-core assets, or to increase shareholder value and visibility through investor outreach. A private company may need to create strategic alliances with channel partners for distribution purposes, or they may need to decide whether it's time to pursue an IPO. If the partner is an individual - a scientist, inventor, or engineer - then the best course of action may be to match them with a company that can derive value from their talents through either an outright placement, or through a value-added directorship on an advisory board.
Once a 'win-win' transaction has been identified, Typhoon's team will determine what ingredients are needed in order to make that transaction happen. Sometimes this is as simple as a referral to a business colleague. Often it involves researching the marketplace in order to better define a company's competitive or product position. Many times business plans need to be drafted, press kits need to be built, sales calls need to be made, people need to be hired, and presentations need to be delivered to potential investors. Businesses thriving on the edge of chaos need partners, not vendors. Our team is your team. By working with you during hectic times we learn with you, rapidly moving from project to project without the need for lengthy delays involved in orientation and background issues. By remaining a third party we are able to maintain objectivity and give you feedback from the world outside. By working with multiple partners and on different engagements, Typhoon is able to leverage the sum total of all the knowledge, experiences, and contacts that have been acquired along our journeys.
AREN'T THERE EASIER WAYS TO EARN A LIVING?
Why do we do what we do? Simple, we believe in the value of owning equity in our partners and sharing in the joint value created. Our goal is to work together in building great businesses, so by owning equity in a company or technology we are able to directly benefit from the success created. Our services are priced with this objective in mind and we maintain a great deal of flexibility when presented with the opportunity to work with the right partners.
