Archimedes LLC develops startup businesses from original idea through to launch and funding. Sometimes those businesses are the product of in-house ideas, like EasyNet, RealNames, Techcrunch or now.tv. Others are the result of investments like the ones we made in Red Swoosh, NetNames or DayLife. The majority come from relationships we build with early stage companies where, in return for mentoring, advice and relationship development we become shareholders in the company. this is the case at AboutUs, fotopedia, Superfish, Geotrio, 2performant and Yola. In addition we provide strategic advice, mainly to large public companies on product strategy, and are paid on a contracting basis in those cases. These relationships are typically confidential and are not written about on this site.
One of our most popular initiatives is called “The Product Couch”. This is where early stage founders can benefit from an intense product review with fresh outside eyes and ears. It has led to many great relationships. It last 2 hours and can have a big impact. if you want to be considered for the product couch email us.
