POSITIONS


Business & Investor Relations Development (BIRD) Assoc Partner/Partner

​

Preamble: SV buys equities in startups low and sells them high.  For instance, buy at $100,000 and sell at $1mil, maybe after 3 to 5 years.  The difference is its capital gains (profits).  The only way for SV to reach this profit is for us to help them grow.  SV does it by way of growing their distribution, sales and funding. 

This is where BIRDs come in, to bring resources to the startups so that they can eventually reach level 2.  BIRDs are expected to:

- generate users, followers, clients, partnerships etc

- improve cap-tables, bring in advisors, obtain licences etc

- generate sales, purchase orders etc

- raise funds, obtain loans, resolve accounts receivable issues etc
