"Assisting Growth Company Clients To Develop and Communicate Their Value Propositions

To Potential Customers Or Potential Investors."

Since 1991, Cross Border Enterprises, L.L.C. has helped many growth companies to raise funds and/or develop their business. Whatever their end goals, these companies have seen that success depends on making a good start.

What does a "good start" consist of? A growth company must:

· Start from a realistic understanding of its Strategic Value Proposition. (Is the offering truly unique, which is unlikely, or are there strong competitors? What differentiates it?)

· Think what it can do for its potential customers, not vice versa. (What does it bring to potential customers that is important to them?
Can it help potential customers compete and increase their bottom lines?)

· Develop 1) an elevator pitch that instantly and effectively communicates the offering's benefits to potential customers and potential investors and 2) an effective and convincing meeting/conference presentation.

A Strategic Value Proposition that's simple, clear, and impactful takes thought and perspective to develop. We collaborate with our client companies to understand their offerings, learn what existing clients think, and help shape a Strategic Value Proposition that will work for them.

To attract high-priority potential customers, or potential investors, we and our clients work together on a convincing message about the offering's benefits. Starting with the Strategic Value Proposition, we add relevant supporting information, financials, and projections; customers (by name or type); a realistic pipeline where appropriate; and relevant market information. Note the word "relevant"-one of the biggest challenges for growing companies is separating what's relevant to them from what's relevant to their audiences.

The presentation, just like the thinking behind it, should aim for clarity and audience appeal. We work with the presenter on using slides as supporting material rather than as a script; fitting the presentation into the allotted time with room for questions; and preparing for questions.

Working with a client company to refine or develop a presentation for potential customers, or potential investors, can take several days; in the experience of our client companies, it can definitely be of benefit. Whether your growth company wants to develop/refine only its Strategic Value Proposition, or its presentation(s) as well, we would like to help!

Matching the Needs of Technology Growth Companies and Major Multinationals.

Cross Border Enterprises, L.L.C. ("CBE") is an investment banking firm focused on the Technology sector. Our growth company clients provide technology products and services to major multinational corporations, helping them to compete and to increase the bottom line. With many major corporations outsourcing, thousands of growth technology companies are vying to meet their needs. But it can be difficult to get past the objections of the VP Purchasing or other middle manager: no budget left, can't O.K. over $99,000, or won't bet on a "new" technology.

We can help increase our clients' chances of success, by bringing their product offerings to enterprise managers who see the "big picture" and make enterprise-wide decisions. Gaining major organizations as customers/strategic partners helps our growth technology company clients increase rates of adoption and revenues, improving prospects for further financings or exits.

We have always assisted our clients with Corporate Introductions post-closing -- since our compensation for financings includes warrants, we want their revenues to grow. Today, Corporate Introductions may come first because our growth company clients need to increase rates of adoption before seeking a financing or an exit.

How Does the Cross Border Corporate Introduction Process Work?

Together with our client company, we:

• Identify and mutually agree to 5 target Customers/Partners (corporations they wish as customers, where we have board level or other appropriate contacts).

· We construct a Value Proposition for each target, for delivery to the CEO/COO/CFO/CIO.

• Arrange and schedule meetings with the appropriate senior managers.
• Participate in initial meetings, to ensure that the assessment process starts smoothly.
• Follow up regularly with target corporation senior management, to ensure continued interest.

Our compensation is aligned with our client's interests. For our services, we charge a small retainer up front and receive a success fee (a percentage of their revenues from each Customer/Partner over a defined time period).

Current Cross Border Corporate Introduction Activities.

We are currently facilitating enterprise-level introductions for several technology growth companies. Our Corporate Introduction engagements may be done as precursors to a financing, in conjunction with a financing, or on a "stand alone" basis. Our clients range from early-stage companies (with revenues from major multinational corporations as customers) to middle/later-stage companies (with established and broad customer bases).

Cross Border Enterprises, L.L.C. is an investment banking firm. Our emphasis is on Technology-focused growth companies that provide products and services to major multinational corporations.
