For Immediate Release
San Mateo, CA October 23, 2007 --
The Blink Tank, an innovative strategic services company is pleased to announce the launch of its incubator services for social ventures.
The initial service focus is to generate early-stage operational revenue for transactional mission-focused enterprises. The Blink Tank also provides a full-array of services including partner development, product and media distribution, and strategic business and capitalization strategy.
John Cesario, Managing Director of The Blink Tank, explains that “our mission is to secure revenue opportunities for entrepreneurs and companies that are making a positive impact on the world - businesses that are working to clean and protect our environment, that provide youth with positive opportunities to succeed in life, and that offer their employees a fair and equitable workplace.”
One important service that The Blink Tank provides is its Sponsor Aggregation Model or SAM for short. Like-minded companies are grouped together into ‘tanks’ and then connected to complimentary sponsors who benefit from visibility within a niche demographic. “SAM allows small and emerging companies the opportunity to connect meaningfully with sponsors, whom might otherwise not be in a position to take notice or get involved at such an early stage of development. It creates a great opportunity for the sponsors to connect to valuable communities, while generating an important revenue stream for the start-up,” says Vice President Chris Wiltsee.
Select brands such as alonovo.com (a website that provides Corporate Social Behavioral ratings integrated into an online ecommerce portal that benefits non-profits) and Verge Records (A Hip Hop lifestyle-company that donates up to 10% of profits to local arts organizations) benefit from the Blink Tank’s “virtual business infrastructure” for consumer marketing, merchandising, and business development. This support allows each brand to focus on its core development and the high value areas that are unique to its business. Co-founder George A. Polisner concludes, “The Blink Tank provides real revenue opportunities for what I consider to be ‘post-transactional, pre-money ventures’. This is a class of social venture that are already transacting in the market, have a production web presence and yet have not achieved the mass or momentum necessary to acquire proper funding. We are able to step in and produce results, allowing the entrepreneurs to focus on their core expertise while we help generate revenue and guide strategy.”
