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