Technologists informally leverage us as the Three C's....
...and the best part is, it's free:
We are trusted advisors to 1000s of CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CMOs, CISOs, CROs, COOs, and CEOs at Fortune 1000 companies who use us as sounding boards for ideas, drawing down out of decades of experience and proven methodologies for innovation and execution
Better than us telling you what peers are doing, we introduce you to those who are walking similar paths - whether you have a project and want to hear how others handled it or you're moving to a new town and want to find like-minded professionals, or you're looking for the next adventure in your career journey: we can help you grow your network
Innovation is about the 20%, which is tough. No one has time to scout the marketplace for the 1000 companies that came out last month. We are experts are curation in finding ways to maximize the 20%, which is the source of 80% of transformational change. Our portfolio is filled with game-changers who will disrupt the status quo - safely
A set of angel investors comes together with a novel concept - money isn't everything. They collectively invest their expertise alongside money to help their investments overcome obstacles in growth, often taking a strategic consulting role directly in their portfolio companies.
We were "Smart Money" before it was cool.
The internet bubble bursts. Because we'd hate to waste a perfectly good crisis, Landmark adapts by separating the "Smart" from the "Money" and turning the internal consulting function into an external one. This is the birth of Venture Development and the beginning of a bigger journey to help innovative companies be successful - regardless of whether we invest.
2008
Another market collapse... another opportunity. This time we watch numerous boutique and major investment banks close their doors due to the subprime collapse and see a unique supply/demand problem. We solve it by opening a wholly owned boutique investment bank to help mature entrepreneurs cross the fundraising chasm.
Anyone who comes to our conferences knows that we care. We build experiences that allow the most talented and passionate people participate in a trusted community - from Social Innovation to our Dealmakers Series to our CIO Summit events - we meticulously select only the strongest participants to join our network and share their perspectives around high quality, relevant topics and content.
We Love to Make Deals Happen.
That's why we connect, collaborate, innovate, transform, advise, bank, invest, and build relationships - to help you do deals.
We are designing a data-driven, curated marketplace for Enterprise Technology
