Best way to go about cloud funding?

You have two choices: add the talent to manage the PR and marketing activities to your team or outsource it. A good source of names if you wish to outsource it can be found here https://www.startups.co/articles/top-crowdfunding-experts-consultants

Daryl is a visionary strategist. He has an unusual combination of being a visionary, as well as very practical and down to earth. He repeatedly demonstrated a sound understanding of areas as diverse as emerging markets, emerging technologies and organizational transformation. I was consistently impressed with Daryl’s knowledge and blend of technology and business.

Daryl was invited to join our Advisory Board in 2006. When we established our Advisory Board we were looking for members with specific skill sets in either technology, business, marketing or M&A experience. We initially looked to Daryl for his technology experience. As we worked with him and the other advisors we quickly learned to request feedback and guidance on general business and marketing issues from Daryl.

As an advisor I find Daryl's feedback to be concise, relevant and he says what is needed, not necessarily what "we want to hear". He is comfortable sharing his opinion and thoughts with the objective being for the betterment of the company.

In the 2 plus years that Daryl has been an advisor I have found him to be approachable and always willing to assist when he can. If he has not heard from us for a while he takes the initiative to connect.

It is without hesitation that I strongly recommend Daryl as an advisor and would be pleased to speak with anyone considering him for such a role with their company.

Daryl is a technology visionary who is always looking 1-3 years into the future to understanding how today’s cutting edge technology will be used to solve tomorrows business problems. Having the talent to foresee how technology will be used in the future has allowed Optio Software to stay ahead of its competitors by being able to deliver product using the latest technology when the market demands it. Daryl also has the unique ability to lead a very technical discussion with a team of Software engineers, and then be able to switch gears and have the same discussion with a group of non-technical users, using layman’s terms so they will understand the solutions being developed. I highly recommend Daryl to any firm who wants to be a technology leader.

Daryl has the rare capacity to communicate to both a highly technical and a purely business audience. The ability to quickly gauge the technical strengths and weaknesses of your own company is essential. To gauge that of a competitor is priceless. Daryl has both and can deliver the message in terms that any business person can easily understand and use to improve their competitive position.

Daryl is a pleasure to work with, to exchange ideas with and to team up with to build the vision he creates. He doesn’t reject criticism of his ideas but instead embraces and adapts them; making sure credit goes where due. He never tires from explaining his vision and works tirelessly to lead others to understand it. He is an engaging speaker and presenter.

Daryl easily translates his ideas to functional products or the repair of existing products without massive redesigning. I enjoy working with Daryl on solving problems and sharing ideas.
