Overview:
Build sales organization from ground up. On-the-job training of Founder as VP Sales. Close first deals.
Conenza was founded by the Executive Director of Microsoft Alumni Network, based on demand from corporations for a similar corporate social network service. Altus engaged very early (pre-seed) to close first sale, identify market targets, create the sales organization, provide on-the-job sales training for the Founder, and even help in naming the company.
