CalReply — Drive results and measure impact with personalized outreach to each customer, sent when subscribers are most likely to engage with Rokt Calendar.
ImageBrief — ImageBrief is an online marketplace that connects image buyers with a global network of professional photographers. Buyers can post a brief for an immediate image requirement and photographers submit images that are tailored to the buyer's request.Targeted at advertising agencies, marketing departments, magazines and graphic designers,ImageBrief provides an alternative solution for image buyers who no longer wish to spend hours trawling through image stock libraries. ImageBrief is not a stock library but is a crowd sourced buyer-driven marketplace connecting image buyers and photographers. By letting buyers outline their needs within a brief and allowing photographers to respond, it turns the traditional image buying process on its head. ImageBrief provides a new way for buyers to source rights-managed images that perfectly match their usage and exclusivity requirements. Photographers ensure that their image meets the requirements before submitting, which means buyers only see images they can actually use.ImageBrief also allows buyers and photographers to interact and collaborate directly while working on the brief. Both buyers and photographers can ask questions, provide each other with feedback, or clarify requirements. Perhaps the greatest difference however is that buyers establish their usage requirements and budget up-front. This allows photographers to understand the terms of the brief and to decide whether to respond.

Elevation Capital was formed by a group of successful entrepreneurs who have co-invested in order to pool together their capital and experience. We consider ourselves to be “venture accelerators” rather than venture capitalists. After starting my first fledgling business at the age of 17, I truly understand the unique challenges faced byentrepreneurs and I am aware that it takes more than just capital for a company to succeed.Recently, Blueprint Management and the various business's we developed (up to 10 companies over 13 years) has given me exposure to the difficult challenges that every entrepreneur will face. My experience has involved the creation of a company with only $10K start-up capital, which grew to over 950 staff. This business was then sold to a private equity group. The success of this venture has given me invaluable knowledge that I can now share with others to guide them in the future.Specialties:If there is one simple thing I have learnt in recent times about investing into growth companies, it is: "to not waste anyones time".Elevation Capital is a professional and committed organisation and is able to invest quickly when a good business opportunity presents itself. We appreciate the challenge that entrepreneurs face when trying to raise capital while also dealing with the daily time constraints of running their businesses.
