The selection process usually begins with a phone call or e-mail from you to Interim Ventures or vice versa. Maybe a mutual acquaintance has suggested that we to get in touch with each other.

It then continues with a face-to-face meeting, if possible, or a longer phone conversation. Now we both want to learn more about each other. You have questions to Interim Ventures. Some of our questions for you include:

	Why the U.S. market? What do you hope to accomplish?
	What do you have to offer the U.S. market that's unique and compelling?
	How do you stack up against U.S. competitors?
	How do you wish Interim Ventures to help you?

If mutual interest continues, Interim Ventures will suggest that your company be reviewed during the next Advisory Board meeting. We'll provide you with a suggested format for you to put together a brief overview of your company to be presented to the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board reviews and discusses your company information and makes a recommendation on whether to pursue the "Assessment of potential for successful U.S. expansion." At this point, we'll develop a formal agreement for you to sign. After signature, we're off to begin the process!
