1) Early Stage Startups

My Role: Product/Market Fit, validation, Go-To-Market strategy, spinoff services

We include David in our Marketing Strategy calls where he helps on our overall marketing strategy and plan. Helping us decide the channels we use and the relevant content for different mediums. Such as: helping prepare a podcast and interviews, developing content for LinkedIn for leads, writing a series of content for an email campaign, presenting on a webinar, and overseeing what we should expect from our next marcom vendors or another marketing firm if and when we engage one.Much of the work we have done with David has also been preparing us to start broadcasting our message. His continued energy and creative ideas will be valuable.

3) Internal - Corporate Innovation Labs

My Role: Emerging tech advisor, custom software broker, interoperable problem solving

ZX Ventures is the Innovation and Investment Group inside Anheuser-Busch InBev

I was invited into their Innovation Lab to recommend vendors for their enterprise-wide employee engagement portal. Luckily I helped several divisions replace this with a series of custom software projects that satisfy the intersection of corporate mandates, IT priorities, and my contact’s career paths. For one of my clients, I arranged for a $200k “Cross-Enterprise Ideation Engine” that accelerated the time to scout and scope business ideas from days of research down to a live database search in seconds. A Blockchain layer is imminent.

This is what Luke Cherrington Manager, Investing and Building, at ZX Ventures, said:“David and his team at Creative Chaos are as much a way of thinking about technology as they are a dependable software development partner. They make it easy to do our jobs better. Whether in a sprint or during business strategy sessions, they bring process experience, fresh ideas and a commitment to deliver. One example is a cross-enterprise dashboard for scouting and scoring ideas from all our employees.”

3) External - Corporate Innovation Consultancies

My Role: Alliance Manager. Emerging tech advisor, custom software broker, interoperable problem solving

Bionic is a growth transformation agency for the Fortune 500.

Another example is the connections I made for my client, a senior partner at strategy consultant, Bionic. He relied on me for business and technology corroboration of a new paradigm-shifting service for their Fortune 100 clients. We built a $400k “Project Growth Dashboard” to make C-Suite priorities more agile and accurate.
