Dear MBAGN Members,
First and foremost: Happy New Year and best wishes for a super 2007. We hope all of you had a great holiday season and now it's full-steam ahead in '07. For us, 2007 should be a year of continued successful transformation and growth towards activities focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology commercialization (see below projects). We will also be building on our global full-time job focus through MBA-Exchange.com.
By the end of February, we hope to share with you our strategic plans and the big picture view for MBA GlobalNet and MindForce. 2006 was a year of clarity for us, and if you were kind to provide me with insights and feedback, I would like to thank you. -Rob
SPECIAL PARTNER NEW YEAR OFFER: All of you had the opportunity to purchase JibberJobber at a huge discount last Fall when they launched. As their CEO is a MBAGN member, here's their new offer to us for 2007: 3 free months use of their premium services (rather than 2 weeks) and 15% off the normal premium purchase price. Network Members receive a 30% discount. Please go to: http://mbaglobalnet.jibberjobber.com/login.php to enroll for your free 3 months.
We've been very busy with some great new clients and new MindForce projects. To make up for lost time and for keeping these emails as concise as possible, we'll be sending out two opportunities newsletters in the next week.
At this point in time, MindForce, our sister firm, has 8 venture and licensing teams operating, and another 2 in the discussion stages -all formed by MBAGN members who responded to our emails and enewsletters. Plus, we are going full-steam with finding mentors for SBIR companies, and we're about to discuss creating new companies from IP with one of the top medical institutions in the world.
Here's our current team projects:
1: Teradata Compression Tool - from AT&T and a licensing opportunity
2: Data Compression Algorithm - licensing opportunity
3: Breast Cancer Density Software Tool
4: Surgical Mask
5: RFID Bar Code project (forming)
6: Flame Retardant project (forming)
7: Grocery Bag Carrier
8: Tire Recycling Technology
Notes On Venture/Licensing Team Opportunities:
(1) If you know Teradata DBAs at your company or as peers, we have a new no-lose revenue-savings program they should know about. We'll also provide a nice referral fee for an intro.
(2) If you have strong ties to telecom companies, especially those involve with video and cell phone transmissions, our licensing team wants to speak with you. We have an excellent compensation structure for your assistance in closing a licensing deal.
(3) If you have ties to the Breast Cancer community, please let us know. Our 10 person venture team would love to talk with you.
(5) If you have RFID expertise, we're forming this venture team to tackle a new printing technology that may combine bar codes and RFID for a variety of uses. More later.
(6) If you work in the plastics, furniture or bedding industries, please contact us. We're forming a venture team to work with the IP owner. More later.
We look forward to your involvement in 2007 and support as we continue to evolve and grow as an organization.
Best regards,
Rob
