Perspective

SSV Network helps 4 populations - innovators, investors, incubators and other nurturers, and service providers - find and develop pivotal partnerships.

More specifically, the 4 populations include people and organizations that seek to

  • Develop businesses or innovations For example,
    • Grow a startup
    • Invent a product
    • Improve effectiveness
  • Invest profitably in businesses, innovations, or societal ventures
  • Nurture businesses or innovations. For example,
    • Incubate startups
    • Foster enterprise innovation
  • Support the above, by providing services or products. For example,
    • Consult
    • Provide products or services that support collaboration
    • Educate

Members of each population find it too hard to discover partners.

SSVN seeks to provide means to expand partnering opportunities,

  • Across populations
  • Across specialties
  • Locally and globally
  • Within populations

Perhaps uniquely, SSVN's approach starts from the fundamentals of business needs, and not specifically from the needs of just one population or 'social networking.'
