"As we approached the launch of a new fund, Lynley Sides conducted a market assessment and worked with us to formulate a new positioning and communicate it through an integrated marketing plan. We successfully launched Outlook Ventures under a new brand and website which were received very positively, in large part due to the unique combination of experience Lynley brought to the effort – her understanding of the VC market, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and multi-media marketing were a great fit. I found Lynley to be a high quality, exceptionally professional and personable consultant - we subsequently invited her to become a "catalyst" for the firm and have requested her input on numerous occasions since."
