HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NORTH VENTURE PARTNERS
Happy New Year!
We wanted to send out a note to all our blog readers, service partners,
clients, friends, and family to say a BIG thanks for all of the candid
comments, inspirational words, heroic collaboration, and personal
sacrifices. 2006 was truly an amazing year. For those of you that haven't
been given a 'formal' update, here's a quick snapshot about what we've been
up to, who we've been working with, and where we're headed in '07.
On the venture front, we've been fortunate to work with a great collection
of smart, cool, and ambitious entrepreneurs. A few that we've helped build,
brand, and grow their ideas into real companies:
R TalentBoom! - a supped-up search portal for actors, agents, and
producers. (www.talentboom.com)
R The Cradle - a big-brained social search and networking community for
expectant mothers. (www.thecradle.com)
R Super Hi-Fi - a new school user-generated internet radio service
R Fat Vine - a smarter search portal that let's users "grow their know" -
think Linked In meets Del.icio.us. (www.fatvine.com
)
R Unstoppable Sports - a not for profit sports camp and apparel line
focused on education and athletics for at risk youth.
In addition to our venture work, we've also been getting our hands dirty
with some exciting new spin outs and product launches. We've just been
hired to build out the launch strategy for a category changing new consumer
electronic device by the #2 player in the MP3 player space. And in the fall
of 2006 we were tapped to assist Comic Book Creator
(www.mycomicbookcreator.com) with their marketing and promotional efforts
for their software.
For you knowledge seekers, hot of the presses is our acclaimed whitepaper
titled
"How to Crash The Consumer-Controlled Party and Not Get Thrown Out".
Good timing for us, as Time Magazine just awarded Person of the Year to
"You" (because of all of the buzz surrounding user-generated content in
'06). And it's probably a big reason why the paper's been attracting a ton
of eyeballs and has been featured on the prominent branding site
BrandChannel.com . Be sure to
give it read.
Big things on the horizon include some great new ventures, more exciting
client projects, the 'initiation' of a few new super heroes.
So here's to a great New Year, and having even more fun in 2007 launching
great new products and companies!
Cheers!
