How DTV Works With Portfolio Companies
Once we mutually agree to terms, we become part of the team. We aren’t employees or outside advisors, we are something in-between, working closely to ensure a viable business model, product and go-to-market strategy, proper technical SSI architecture, and appeal to SSI-focused investors. Then, when needed, we help recruit the executive team and assist in preparing and executing an optimal fundraising plan.
We don’t write the check—yet—but we know many investors, including those keen on SSI and eager to see real, investable business models emerge at SSI’s application layer.
We strictly adhere to Lean Startup principles, especially as found in Running Lean, to ensure strong, customer-endorsed problem-solution fit before securing and allocating resources.
Many in SSI can’t tell the difference between a use case and a business model; our companies don’t make that mistake.
