How does Nif/T differ from a traditional consulting firm?
Nif/T differs in at least two ways. First, we use our skills to
drive a critical event in our client's business; we do not do general
consulting leading to studies, reports, etc. Second, we share the
risk of accomplishing this event and, of course, we expect to share
the rewards associated with it. Simply put, we do not derive the
majority of our compensation until a significant financial event
is achieved. Nif/T's extensive experience has demonstrated that
this is the most effective path to success.

Why do I need anyone to help me?
Nif/T helps its clients achieve focus, sometimes for a new venture
and other times to improve an existing venture. The architecting
and re-architecting that Nif/T provides is one of the most difficult
things for a company to try to perform on its own. Achieving the
right focus in today's highly competitive environment is usually
the single most important factor in making sure that the founders
and other stakeholders monetize their investments. Nif/T's experience
helps you avoid mistakes, gets the job done faster, and improves
the outcome. Even the most accomplished entrepreneurs will make
such a critical decision twice or three times. Nif/T partners have
evaluated and driven and supported dozens of these critical decisions.

Does Nif/T provide its clients with contacts
in the VC community?
Yes. However, Nif/T works with firms that wish
to further enhance their value. To achieve this, Nif/T partners
and associates expend significant time and effort working closely
with its clients. The value of Nif/T's contacts is only a small
fraction of Nif/T's investment into each client
Does Nif/T raise the money for me?
Nif/T assists clients every step of the way. However, this does
not preclude the need for a strong management team to continue relationships
with investors and partners. Nif/T occasionally provides interim
staff to fill gaps in capabilities while helping to recruit the
right team as required.
