BDCs often ask to “private label” or “white label” a smaller company’s technology. This generally involves the BDC selling the startup’s technology under the BDC’s brand. Do not allow your adVenture’s technology to be buried in the bowels of another company’s product, without reasonable attribution. Do Not Give up Branding.

Ongoing momentum requires a move to mainstream, or even late adopters, who demand simplicity in your base function. Focus on the mainstream customer majority.
