## The best work happens alongside the right partners

Chesterton Hills maintains a global network of organizations we work with, refer to, and collaborate alongside. If your organization sits in one of the groups below, we would like to know you.

### Groups we collaborate with

#### Corporate Partners

We partner with established companies interested in innovation: piloting a technology, licensing it, distributing a product, or buying from the companies building what comes next. Tell us what your business does and what you are looking for. We work closely with innovative companies across a wide range of industries and can help you find relevant capabilities.

Bring us a commercial priority: a capability you need, a market you want to enter, or a product gap you want to close. We can help identify suitable companies, understand how their products fit your business, and prepare a practical pilot, distribution arrangement, or commercial partnership.

#### Capital Allocators

We connect with angels, venture funds, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds interested in attending Demo Day and meeting companies in their areas of interest. Tell us which industries, stages, and markets you focus on. We invite allocators whose stated industry interests match the businesses presenting.

Demo Day takes place after companies complete the full Capital Readiness program and prepare to present their businesses. It gives them an opportunity to share their work and make connections with the investors attending. These are connections only. We do not fundraise, solicit investments, or participate in deals or negotiations.

Chesterton Hills is **<u>not</u>** a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or placement agent. We do **<u>not</u>** offer, sell, or solicit investments or securities. Our role is purely advisory and connective; we are **<u>not</u>** involved in any deals or negotiations. Chesterton Hills is also **<u>not</u>** a venture capital firm, angel group, or other funding organization, we do **<u>not</u>** invest or provide any funding for our clients. Nothing on this site constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any investment or security.

#### Government & Innovation Programs

We work with friendly governments, economic development agencies, trade bodies, and innovation programs interested in the jobs, technology, and commercial activity innovative companies can bring to their markets. We support companies entering the United States, expanding out of it, and moving between markets across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Wherever a client is headed, we work with local institutions and connect companies with the manufacturing, distribution, talent, and other relationships their operations need. We help them understand the regulatory environment and build the commercial foundations for an expansion that holds up beyond its announcement, whether they are planning an entry or already operating in the market.

#### Universities

We want to partner with universities to help promising innovations find a place in the market. We work with the people behind those innovations to understand potential customers, assess commercial demand, and develop a practical plan for bringing a product or service into use.

As an innovation becomes ready for the market, we can help its team prepare for customer conversations, identify suitable corporate partners, and plan a launch. Our contribution is commercial: helping teams turn what they have developed into a business that customers understand and can buy.

#### Consulting Partners

We partner with consultants and specialist firms who serve similar clients with complementary capabilities in accounting, engineering, regulatory matters, technology, and other disciplines. Our focus is commercial growth. When a client needs expertise outside our scope, we help them connect with a firm equipped to provide it.

We welcome partners who want to be a resource to innovative companies and who value clear responsibilities when working alongside another firm. Together, we can help clients address specialist needs while keeping their commercial priorities in view, with each firm contributing the expertise it is best placed to provide.

Partnership is centered on client work. Broader access to the firm's relationships is arranged separately, under its own agreement.
