If you have confidential information to protect, it should be protected by patent, trademark, copyright etc., BEFORE sending such information out to funding sources. Undeveloped business ideas, concepts and connections are NOT considered proprietary.
For projects involving proprietary information, we have a standard nondisclosure statement that may be used for any and all individuals or companies involved with your project. In general, it will not be necessary to disclose such information except in the final stages of venture funding.
Consulting Services
Specific service quotations and contracts are developed and tailored directly to client needs. In general, a fixed price contract will be proposed for the project, or for each phase of the project. For email or teleconsulting see details here.
Venture Funding
Because of the diversity of both funding sources and projects, and the complexity of a business' potential financial structure, these services are covered by a separate agreement that specifically outlines all fees and services required to adequately fund your project. Consulting to assist you with funding activities is conducted on a monthly retainer basis, plus expenses. For an Angel Funding List.
