“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.”

Your Dream
Building your early-stage company into a market success is extremely difficult. Only a small fraction of ideas grow into brands that become widely known, trusted, and sought after. The development path has many nebulous crossroads with choices that may take your company in the wrong direction. Given financial limitations inherent in young companies, it’s extremely important that you try to make as few mistakes as possible to ensure sustainable growth and success. Enlisting talent with previous experience to help guide you through the rough waters is essential but can become rather expensive- that is where Sunfire comes in.
Our Experience
Established in 1994, Sunfire Ventures Limited, together with its strategic allies, assist in development of the operations and business strategies for small, innovative companies. While our primary geographic focus is North America, we have extensive international contacts and have engaged in overseas markets when opportunities were sufficiently compelling. We offer a diverse skill-set that has proven to be invaluable to the entrepreneurial teams with which the Company has allied.
Our experience spans a wide range of industries, including: internet & wireless service providers, wireless infrastructure & software developers, new media production & services, social media sites, consumer goods, alternative energy, GREEN energy, and oil & gas infrastructure.
Services
We provide our services on an ‘as needed’ basis to ensure your company is able to secure value-added benefits while keeping costs low.
Most sessions are done virtually, with a simple 1/2 hour phone or video conversation to fill-in some knowledge gaps, brainstorm, explore ideas, or fine-tune strategies but we can also go on-site to help with more comprehensive challenges.
