Description

Mark is an Executive in Residence at Progress Partners. Mark has more than 15 years of experience in multi-media start-up and small businesses leading business development, sales, marketing, strategic client development and operations. Mark leverages this background to advise client companies on development and strategy to build their business for strategic partnership, capital raise, and merger and acquisition.

We specialize in nine different sectors of the technology ecosystem. Within each of them, our expertise is derived from years of work as entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and mentors. As licensed investment bankers, that background has led us to approach our role as an intimate extension of our client’s management team. In that effort, we become stronger together. For either private placement or M&A mandates, we are proud of our ability to recognize and execute upon the right transaction for a given client, rather than simply to be in pursuit of any deal that can be done.

Progress Partners was founded in 2002, aimed to prepare entrepreneurs for the capital raise process: largely venture and strategic equity financing. True to its purpose-driving job creation, innovation, and building business value through established business networks-venture finance serves a great role to the entrepreneur beyond the capital. Over time, there are many parts of the venture market that have strayed from its roots.

Bruce Albert formed Applegate Seven in 2008 to provide strategic, funding and marketing communications counsel to early and growth stage companies driven by technology. He is currently an executive advisor to Progress Partners, Eleven SA (Brussels), O’Donnell Group/Café Learn, Gingee Games (Tel Aviv), Game Cloud and Meemo. Bruce is also a volunteer advisor to the Peacemaker Corps, a United Nations, NGO dedicated to facilitating non-violent conflict resolution, self-reliance and tolerance education among the youth in the United States and around the world.

Progress Partners team members are a strategic mix of executives with backgrounds in both corporate and entrepreneurial roles. Team members have deep experience in venture capital and angel financings, mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning and execution, business development, integrated marketing, new product/market launches, and management.
