Publications and Special Projects

Enterprise Capital Alliance

The Enterprise Capital Alliance is a brand new program of the Technology Alliance. Its purpose is to catalyze public companies to increase early stage spending by creating a sustainable platform which: 

Shines a light on PNW technology, connecting it to Enterprise Investors. 
Establishes an environment of co-opetition, sharing of ideas and career contacts for its corporate members 
Leverages the region’s competitive advantages (Amazon/MSFT/LS Research, cloud…) to attract interest 
Builds a self-supporting “Club” to which Enterprise members will want to be members

The ECA will do this by establishing a range of programs, events, curated research, and best practices for Enterprise Capital and give them: 

Direct access to new innovation curated by the TA 
Access to an ecosystem that builds demand for our early stage company’s technology 
A business development pipeline (intros, showcases, deal tracking, syndicates, corp intros)  
Monitor technology & trends

“Branding” as an innovation player 
Access to Best Practices in fund management (this is low priority)

This program is still too new for specific sponsorship levels/benefits to have been delineated. Funding support starting at $2,000 is requested, particularly from companies represented on the formation committee.  

Research Reports

The Technology Alliance’s annual benchmarking report is widely respected by the policy makers and other influencers who are its target audience. We are projecting a total cost of $10,000. Funding support starting at $1,000 is requested, with appropriate recognition on the back page of the printed and online versions of the report. This portion of the dues/sponsorship package may be deposited in our 501(c3) account.
