Dear fellow members of the Techquisition community:
As we begin the New Year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for becoming a member of the Techquisition community. Through your participation, you are helping to revolutionize the way technology/intellectual property is marketed and acquired worldwide. Since the launch of Techquisition 7 months ago, we have grown to become one of the most widely used technology-transfer networking websites around with a community of nearly 350 registered users. This is due in large part to the fact that many within the technology transfer profession have recognized the value of Techquisition and its free services. We hope that you are finding the site useful in your day-to-day work activities and welcome your suggestions for improvement.
We are committed to making Techquisition the premier technology-transfer networking website in the world. One way you can help is by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues within the profession. By expanding the user base, everyone benefits: technology sellers have more licensing targets and technology buyers have more potential sources of new technology. I encourage you to email a link of our website to those colleagues you know that may not yet be using Techquisition.
In celebration of the launch of the Techquisition community last year, we offered free trials of our profile-featuring service (profile-featuring is an extra service we want to provide to help financially maintain the community and keep our networking service free to everyone). Free trials of our profile-featuring service will end March 31, 2007.
After March, we will be offering our profile-featuring service for technology profiles and technology-buyer profiles on a per month basis and for a small fee. In other words, you will be able to have a profile(s) of a hot new technology (for sellers) or a profile of your technology needs (for buyers) featured right on the front page of the Techquisition community (for an entire month!). Our profile-featuring service will be available for a modest fee to those wishing to utilize this extra service.
As always, our networking service is and will remain completely free to use (for both buyers and sellers of technology). Rest assured that we have no plans to ever charge for our core networking service (other websites charge subscription fees ranging up to several thousands of dollars per year). As stated in our Mission, our goal is to facilitate the technology-transfer process in an efficient, cost-free, and effective manner by creating a community that can utilize the power of the internet. We remain committed to that goal and with your help and assistance will continue to grow the Techquisition community. Our profile-featuring service and advertising income will help us maintain Techquisition as a free networking website for technology-transfer professionals.
In the coming year, we plan to send out periodic newsletters to the community. We would love to hear from you too. We are particularly interested in your suggestions for improving the website as well as stories about successful matches from using Techquisition, or if you have a news story that you think would be of interest to the community. Please feel free to contact us anytime.
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year,
Richard Kordal
CEO, Techquisition
