Venture Engineering

Most consulting companies are highly risk-averse, and consequently avoid working with earlier stage venture companies. D2M welcomes entrepreneurs and looks forward to participating with them as an equity player in their ventures. D2M, once it becomes a shareholder, truly can assist the venture as a strategic partner, an attitude that other consulting companies who are strictly driven by hourly billings cannot. Our services from both Silicon Valley and Hong Kong offices include:

Engineering and Technical Support
Early stage companies often need to reach a proof of concept stage prior to obtaining a Series A round of funding. They are typically cash-strapped with limited resources to address all of the technical areas required to complete this phase. D2M can assist these companies by giving them access to out diverse technical talent and by structuring its compensation around equity incentives. For post Series A funded companies, D2M can assist clients by providing a pool of highly talented engineers on a variable cost basis, thus helping it manage its fixed overhead and helping preserve cash reserves by accepting a significant component of compensation in equity.


Business Plan and Business Strategies
D2M's founders have successfully raised both angel and venture capital. Early stage ventures seeking angel and venture funding will find D2M's "extra set of eyes" invaluable for critical assessment and final polishing of their strategies and plans.


Greater China Operations
In conjunction with D2M's Hong Kong office, we can assist early stage companies with both formulation and implementation of their Asia strategy. This strategy can span from manufacturing relations to the identification of joint venture partners.
