redmonk.vc is a simple(r), easy to access and discounted version of RedMonk’s traditional Simple Subscription Service offered strictly to venture capital portfolio companies. Rather than engaging with a traditional twelve month subscription, redmonk.vc allows portfolio companies to select two of five specialized RedMonk sessions based on their interests and needs.
We’ll be updating and expanding the library of offerings, but at present portfolio companies can select from the following:
Message Testing Your Pitch
In this session, RedMonk analysts will listen to the standard pitch deck, examine it through the lenses of multiple third parties (analysts, developers, enterprise buyers, press, etc) and provide feedback on tailoring messages and talking points
Open Source Business Model Discussion
In this session, RedMonk analysts will lead a discussion of engaging with open source communities as part of your business strategy, along with various open source business models, their merits and shortcomings and with specific historical examples for guidance.
Tech Comm Discussion and Review
In this session, RedMonk will review industry best practices for developer-focused documentation and web resources, and then undertake a high-level examination of your tech comm resources.
Devrel
In this session, RedMonk will lead a discussion of developer relations basics. From general patterns and anti-patterns to specific areas of concern and interest such as event strategies, maximizing the aperture of the developer and advertising/marketing, startups will get a crash course in how to maximize their relationship with developers.
Market Trends and Impacts
In this session, RedMonk will lead a discussion of how major technical market trends are reshaping the industry broadly. We’ll review recent research and provide insight on key trends that may be beneficial accelerants as well as those to be avoided or mitigated.
