ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Kevin Higgins. I have been a founder and senior executive of several software companies and have built these businesses from initial concept to millions of dollars in annual sales.

I have raised angel and venture capital for these companies and I am an angel investor in others.

I have also assisted other technology companies as an advisor, part-time executive and board member.

I have recently returned to Ottawa after spending the past several years at the Qatar Science & Technology Park as CEO of Fuego Digital Media QSTP-LLC and have lots of international business experience.

I am looking for creative opportunities in the Ottawa/Gatineau tech sector where I can become part of a start-up team or serve as an external resource.

My goal is to develop a new technology venture or accelerate a promising company’s growth by applying my skills and experience to the strategy, marketing, sales, delivery, people and finance challenges of the business.

ABOUT YOU

You’re a technology company founder or member of a start-up team focused on development of a product or service prototype.

You recognize that it’s time to get serious about the business side of things – the strategy, operations & money – but you’re not 100% sure about how to proceed.

LET’S HAVE COFFEE

If you think you’re within a few months of having a technology product or service ready for launch, and want to explore different approaches for operational rollout and growth, let’s meet.

Most likely, I’ll be able to quickly sketch out a path from today’s reality to a vision of where your venture could be in 12 months.

MAYBE, A WORKSHOP TOO

If our interests align, I can lead a half-day workshop for you and your team to explore important topics such as:

• The product or service roadmap over the first three years
• A business model that produces revenue and profit
• An organizational structure for the company with associated action priorities by individual function (development, marketing, sales, delivery, people, finance) for immediate, first quarter or first year attention.

These explorations will enable the creation of a first-year financial budget and cash flow projection for the company – and provide a first cut at the company’s capital requirement to take advantage of the business opportunity.

Also, we can craft an initial corporate story for the company for 3 different publics: those who know nothing about your technology and business opportunity, those who know something, and those who know a lot.

CONTACT

If you’d like to explore how we might work together to accelerate your company’s growth, please send me a brief email describing your technology venture and interest.
