Stephen Darori

Threshold Technolgy Curve Model for start ups and investors was developed for a post graduate degree at the LSE by Stephen Darori. Over 6000 startups currently use this model free of charge despite 12 registered patents and expomemtially many more from the PCT patent process started in 2010 . The patents were the second batch registered after ebay's on line auction patents registered in terms of the Supreme Court Case Bilski versus Kappos . The Model has in the last 14 years resulted in over 600 exits.

Stephen Darori actively worlks with new entrepeneurs to develop their businessplans and marketing strategy and raises early stage funding matched more funding from his own resources.

What follows is a Recommendation Stephen Darori received on Linkedin that partly describes the Model ....two key elements missing are that the model calls for the earliest possible commercialization of a technology and the use of partners to change the direction of a technologies development if necessary .... equally ....while not always ... early stage finance is placed in an escow account and released per cash budgets submitted by the founding entrepeneurs ... the escow account legal is owned by the the start up but the process agreed to by most founders disciplines founders and introduces controls that impress investors when new rounds of finance are required .... the model also advocated that founders with technical skills remain in R & D until the start up exits ... at the right time a start up will hire an experience "adult" CEO and as it goes global will establish a Marketing Team on the East Coast of the US using a surplus of excellent IVY and McKinsenly & Co trained Marketing Specialists

Stephen Darori has a wide and rich experience in turning new technologies into viable start ups . He provide leadership and value for preseed and seed stage start up by leveraging his analytical, management, and organizational skills and and strategic planning but most of all his Threshold Curve Model which addresses directly what VC's want to see in Business and Marketing plans and especially R & D Strategy and Plans . The Model among other things calls for the early commercialization of the technology with a revenue flow and outsourcing the entire Management and Site Services function with Marketing overlapping into R & D initially .
