The Lab has consulted for multiple buy-side investment funds on the videoconferencing and visual collaboration markets and has conducted due diligence and competitive analysis on specific technologies.
Example Engagement: For the European investment bank Handlesbanken we accompanied bank fund managers and affiliated investment managers to meet with multiple videoconferencing firms, resellers, and customers to help them gauge and understand the technologies and the market. We provided independent 3rd party feedback and explanation on each firms’ presentation. During that engagement and publicly we predicted that Cisco would acquire Norwegian videoconferencing maker TANDBERG over six months prior to the eventual $3 billion acquisition
