Investors

2thinknow have developed innovation models and methods – including the 3 stage Hire Innovation Loop) – that enable people and organizations to maximise their returns from the opportunity of change.

These include 3 Innovation Programs: Change Trend Analysis that predicted the GFC. An Innovation Cities Program that measures, ranks and benchmarks the worlds cities for innovation. And a new Creative Start-Ups program.

Yet we are a start-up. In the Silicon Valley, self-funded, bootstrapped tough as nails tradition. Difference is we’re in innovation, and we’re in Melbourne, Australia (pronounced Ooorstraliaaa most places…). And we’re going global. And we’d like the right partners along for the ride.

Invest in innovation.

Angel or Venture Capital Investors. 2thinknow have – unlike most start-ups created an actual Business Plan that’s not a hockey-stick leap of faith – and real tangible products that have had small (relative to global market) sales. The Management Leadership is experienced, and has built a high-growth companies. Oh, and we have a killer pitch… which we’re uber-confident in.

If you are a U.S. or European investor with a V.C. firm, or angel funding up to USD $5M. Please contact us. We may approach you, but do you want to wait for another firm to offer us a good deal….

Wither, Partner?

True partnering is a collaboration with clear demarcation of who & what, with a clear win-win benefit. It is not a sales pitch. Yes, partnering is a much abused word.

If you are a U.S., Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or European firm within the Eurozone and you have a killer joint venture proposal contact us, let us know. Please note, anything you send will be treated as if it is public. So don’t send us your own copy of ‘revolutionary’ ideas. Contact us to discuss first!

If you are a small firm, who does consulting or training in these geographic areas we would love to hear from you. If you have a daily rate, and a list of services, please include. See ‘Work With Us’.

Your logo, you as Sponsor.

Global Brands for Innovation Cities. Build your global brand, one city at a time. If you’re the right company we’d love to your logo right next to our Innovation Cities Program, or other innovation project. Every year since 2007, over 1,000 cities and regional areas annually visit our websites on innovation in cities, and this will grow.

If you can see your global airline, your hotel chain, your large financial services firm proudly promoting its innovation aptitude – right next to the cities you service contact us. We can work on carefully worded co-maillings, and a variety of other options.

Independent Analyst Reports. From time to time we seek sponsors to write Innovation Analysis Reports. We are happy to associate those reports with select brands, and preview the reports to sponsor managements and clients in a private session.

If you need a report into the future disruption or change in your industry, city or sector, and innovation responses, why not sponsor us. Contact us to discuss your ideas.

Why develop an in-house city report, when you can brand ours? And, with the cache of independent analysis.

Obviously, as we grow these opportunities are limited by availability of analysts and leaders. So, contact us today for more details, and your ideas before it’s too late…
