Minimal viable AR - Tom Pace an early-stage Startup Example



„Effective briefings are your minimal viable analyst relations!“ Our 3rd SSIA interview with NetRise Inc. founder Thomas Pace shows how IAR on a shoestring can work for early startups.

Netrise are only 3 years in business - but already mentioned in top-tier analyst reports. The startup is providing visibility and risk-identification to XIoT (extended internet-of-things) devices such as ICS, medical devices, embedded systems in vehicles, telecommunications equipment, etc.

Tom is an exceptional interview partner because:

  1. He builds on analyst relations experience from earlier roles and his established relationships; and

  2. Tom enjoys a strong analyst relations background in Netrise’s circle of advisors.

With all that background, Tom touches on a number of typical topics for startups. Listen in! Robin and I then give our further guidance in our round-up starting at 40:36:

  • Innovation in new / nascent areas

  • How can analysts help when I’m the innovator

  • Win the category differentiation fight

  • Minimal viable IAR through free briefings

  • Prioritising time for analysts vs customers

Tom’s view on the value of startups for the analyst community (31:06) also sparked a thought in Robin’s and my discussion afterwards: Analyst firms listen in at 46:52 for 2min.

Listen to an interview with clear views and with practical guidance from Robin and myself in the last quarter.

Thanks to Tom Pace and thanks Netrise!
