SDForum is hosting a unique series of one-on-one executive coaching meetings with partners from Norwest Venture Partners (NVP). These meetings are designed to help founders and CEO’s of early stage companies identify partnerships, obtain industry insight and perspective, and exchange relevant ideas and contacts.

Two partners from NVP, Jim Lussier and Jeff Crowe, are looking to have an interactive conversation with five to 10 companies in the Software Solutions, Services and Consumer sectors. Jim and Jeff have background and interest in building early stage companies with innovative and breakthrough technologies. They would like to meet with passionate entrepreneurs who are building (or have built) defendable and sustainable technology solutions with unique value propositions. In the Software Solutions sector, the partners are particularly interested in application software and infrastructure software both packaged and delivered as a service. In the area of Services, NVP would like to meet with infrastructure, information, computer and financial services businesses. In the Consumer sector, the partners are interested in consumer services, consumer technology, and media companies.

This session is not perceived as a funding exercise, but more of a discussion session that promises to be a good use of entrepreneurs’ time.

If you are an entrepreneur or a CEO of an early stage company, please submit a one-page summary of your business for selection.
