How can I become a TechRanch Entrepreneur?

To be considered a TechRanch client, the first step is to set up a one on one meeting with Gary Bloomer, Director of Client Development. During an initial meeting, items such as the entrepreneurs goals, general business and revenue model and basic value proposition is discussed. This meeting also allows us to talk about the value of TechRanch, our strengths and whether or not there is a basis for further discussions. TechRanch often works with clients for more than a year so it is important that both parties understand motivations, goals and processes. We also like there to be a personality fit. Contact Gary to set up your meeting.

How much does it cost to be a TechRanch client?

The greatest values to TechRanch clients are the intangibles we provide. We pride ourselves on the network of individuals we have developed over the years – individuals in all areas of business and government – who can greatly assist entrepreneurs when the time is right. As for the tangibles, see below.

Clients in the TechRanch facility are charged a minimum of $550 per month. For this fee, they receive intensive advising from TechRanch staff and mentors. They also receive professional suite services including redundant broadband, wireless and wired network infrastructure with firewall, networked color laser printer, copier and facsimile and web development and software development services (web and software development are charged at a low and subsidized rate).

TechRanch Entrepreneur Network (TREN) members do not reside in the TechRanch facility but are given the same business development advising attention as those in-house companies receive. TREN clients have full access to the facility for conference room usage, temporary office space and other needs. TREN clients are charged $1,000 per year.
