Harrison Watkins Partnership Creates Global Venture Opportunities
Jax Harrison Network Brings Kindfulness to International Business
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jax Harrison, founder of PR and strategy firm Jax Harrison Network and Global Ambassador for Inspiring Rare Birds, and Giles Watkins (UK Country Leader for International Association of Privacy Professionals and a founder of the Distributed Ledger Foundation) are joining forces to develop global business opportunities through The Harrison Watkins Partnership.
"With several lifetimes between us in M&A, strategy, technology and PR at the board level in businesses from global giants to seed-funded concepts," Harrison explained, "we are passionate about our ability to put together deals across Europe, the Americas and Australasia. We will measure our success by the international growth and success of our clients."
"We are in a new era of international trade, with import duties and government blocks on mergers and acquisitions ranging from microchips to payment services," said Watkins. "Whilst this creates barriers to growing businesses, every challenge presents opportunities."
The partners successfully collaborated on delivering global opportunities to several startups, and bring strong international perspectives to their clients. Watkins is based in the UK and native New Zealander Harrison works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"Businesses that structure their strategy appropriately and back it up with smart story-telling will find a host of incentives available to them in international markets," observed Watkins. "Early stage companies can take advantage of flexibility and nimbleness, whilst established businesses are distracted by red tape and significant challenges to profitability."
"We work with private investors, VCs and hedge funds to support seed investments and provide boutique verification, analysis, go to market partnerships, and storytelling, with a refocus option for underperforming investment partners," Harrison said.
Harrison Watkins is currently working to take seed companies to market in bitcoin, security protocols, medical devices and a digital privacy platform.
The partnership retains Harrison's business approach of Kindfulness. "Doing the right thing for your clients and their customers creates trust, and trust in the digital age is the new economy," Harrison said.
Harrison brings her Kindfulness principle to Bloom, a Marin-based nonprofit working to break the poverty cycle. "It takes a community to support those in need," said Bloom Executive Director Sherene Chen. Bloom hosts a fundraiser March 23rd; see here for tickets
