Dear Technology Acquisition Professional,
Are you currently a subscriber (or considering a subscription) to an internet-based technology transfer brokerage service?
Are you tired of the large price tags and excessive success fees? As a technology transfer professional I can answer yes to both.
This was the impetus to develop a free web site (yes you read correctly) that combines service and improved communications with no strings attached.
This is a well researched enterprise that has given thought to each step of the technology transfer process. It is our goal to make connecting technology buyers and technology sellers a simple and profitable process.
There are some similarities with the other web providers, great service, a large database, and continuing efforts to improve the web site as we all use it.
The differences, however, are striking. We do not put ourselves in the position to decide what technologies you should see. You designate your areas of interest and you can chose to correspond directly with technology developers.
We also do not charge subscription or success fees. The site is totally free. You can use the site as freely as you wish and execute as many deals as you want and not pay us a cent in subscription or success fees.
For the smallest company to the largest corporation this service is an extremely valuable asset. While a small company may only have a few people interested in taking advantage of this service, a large corporation may have several people interested in utilizing this service.
There is no limit to the number of users from a company that can register to use the service. Our aim is to make Techquisitions widely available, by maximizing the number of users everyone benefits.
Why us instead of the other guys? If the price isn’t reason enough consider that most other web-based brokers have business models that are based on subscription or success fees and are attempting to buildbusinesses that require significant revenues to support it. They may be here today, gone tomorrow. We have a different business model approach. Unlike these other companies we look to revenue from advertising to fund the operation and are not motivated by profits alone but rather to helping the technology transfer profession. As a grass roots organization we are not looking for massive expansion but building a community for technology transfer professionals. Since we have more modest business goals, we’re able to keep the size of our organization in line with a business model that’s easily sustainable. We will always seek to provide the best services and continually improve. This is where you, as a technology seeker, play an important part. We need to build as large a base of technology seekers as we can. This attracts all institutions to provide the data on the inventions you are seeking. Also we would like to hear your suggestions for improvement.
To access the system, simply register as a new user. We ask that you use your email address as your user ID.
While we know that there are never enough hours in the work day, we have made the process of updating your profile and registering simple. A few minutes of your time can open up a whole world of economic opportunities for your company. You will have the ability to cancel your membership at any time by simply emailing the system administrator. We encourage you to visit our site and explore how it works. You have nothing to lose except opportunities.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Pete Thompson

Dear Technology Marketing Professional,
Is the volume of work coming across your desk making you wish that you had an extra set
of hands? We are pleased to announce the advent of Techquisition, a new approach
to marketing your technologies, a virtual extra set of hands.
Techquisition is a new web based communication conduit for technology transfer professionals.
It was designed by a technology transfer professional with both industry and
academic experience so it has striking differences from other services of this
type. The first and foremost is that it has combined the market research
function and the promotion function. You can identify target companies and
market your technologies to them all in one step. Furthermore, by listing the
type of technologies you manage, technology buyers can access this information,
and send you requests for information on specific areas of interest to them.
This provides a two way communication link which is unique to this site.
The information that is conveyed is not stored on our site. This eliminates the need
for you to monitor your listing (i.e., update, removing sold technology, etc.).
You are given the unique ability to download information on technology seekers in a
format that is ideal for tracking purposes. In the event you wish to
communicate through surface mail you will be able to access the name and
address of the key individual involved in technology acquisition.
Let’s talk about cost. There are none. The website is totally free for both buyers and sellers of technology. We do not charge subscription or success fees. While you may ask why cost should be an issue, consider that if a success fee is charged than there is a chance that this will be passed along to you in the negotiation of the license. In other words, we have eliminated the potential that hidden fees will be passed along to you, this maximizes the license income from your technology. Additionally, by making the site free we are trying to encourage widespread usage by technology buyers who might be disinclined to use the service if they were charged a subscription fee. Over time as more and more people realize the advantages of this site we hope to build a large base of buyers to which you can market your technology to. This will help to increase your odds of finding a licensee.
You may wonder how we plan to stay in business if we do not charge users fees. Unlike the other internet based brokering companies we have a different business model approach. In contrast to these other companies which rely on subscription and success fees we look to revenue from advertising to fund the operation. Additionally we are not motivated by profits alone but rather to helping the technology transfer profession. As a grass roots organization we are not looking for massive expansion but building a community for technology transfer professionals.
What do you have to lose? Nothing. What do you have to gain, besides simplifying your job? Well the sky is the limit. A few minutes of your time now will gain you hours of time
later. We encourage you to register today,
and explore how it works.
Sincerely,
Pete Thompson
Marketing Director
