ActSeed is for Entrepreneurs and Startups

Just because you have a proverbial silver bullet doesn’t mean you’ll hit your target.

Hunting an investor?  A new market for your product?  A new VP of Sales or an advisor with a career’s worth of expertise in marketing consumer software? 

We all know the proper sequence is “ready, aim, shoot”, but do we follow this simple mantra when targeting the milestones that keep our business on a trajectory of success?  Or do we follow a related expression, “shooting from the hip”?

First, we focus on “READY”.

ActSeed is about to launch a preparatory framework that helps you view your business from a number of important angles.  This is a very streamlined profiling process.  An introspection.  You’re already busy, so it’s designed to take minimal time for maximum effect.  Think of it as a “good look in the mirror” for your business, not some overly analytical “Myers-Briggs psychometric questionnaire” equivalent.  ActSeed’s introspective business profiling process makes sense to the first time entrepreneur and seasoned, serial entrepreneur alike.  We don’t try to give you all of the answers (a “silver bullet”), but through the process, we can help you score your preparedness so you can shore up any deficiencies and address any needs.

If you’re looking at ActSeed from the viewpoint of an investor, service provider, public interest program or someone looking for work, our simple profiling process is a powerful way to outline your interests and capacities so you can find the businesses that matter to you.  Your profile helps avoid being contacted by entrepreneurs who don’t have what you’re looking for.  ActSeed reduces unwanted noise and distraction that’s so prevalent in most of the communities we join.

Next, we focus on “AIM”.

The coming social community within ActSeed gives you resources at which to aim.  We’re actively recruiting mentors, investors, entrepreneurs, service providers, economic development programs, educational institutions and others who may be an excellent addition to your growing team.  You’re someone else’s ideal target, too.  We all want to hunt and be hunted by the people who matter to us and no one else.  ActSeed helps refine your aim and reduce the time and expense you otherwise have to invest to find ideal targets.  This is a no-brainer service, and we’re much better prepared to aim because we focused on being ready.

Finally, we “SHOOT”.

ActSeed’s coming interaction system allows you to shoot inquiries to those who fit your needs.  No scatter shots and mass messaging.  Unlike most conventional social media communities, your profile isn’t made available for random browsing and spam artists.  Your searches against others’ profiles quickly get you to a meaningful short list of people to engage in serious discussion on a one-to-one basis.  No general broadcasting allowed.  Once you are comfortable with the username on the other end of a messaging inquiry within ActSeed, we encourage you to circumvent the ActSeed platform, trade emails or phone numbers and hopefully shake hands in person and conclude a mutually beneficial deal.

Within this context, ActSeed is here to help you get ready faster, aim more precisely and hit your targets more efficiently.  Remember, we don’t eat unless the hunt is successful.
