The Power of Partnership
When they arrive at the cabin Inside Guy arranges all their gear in the cabin and the Outside Guy takes their canteens to the stream to fill them. As he is filling one of the canteens he looks up and sees, charging at him, one of the biggest, meanest bears he has ever seen. He drops the canteen and starts running toward the cabin. The bear is nipping at his heels and right in front of the cabin door he drops to the ground. The bear has too much momentum and barrels into the cabin. Outside Guy stands up and yells to Inside Guy, “You skin this one, I’ll go get another!”
The ability to form effective partnerships in life and in business can take you to heights you have never imagined. The creative tension between an inside and outside perspective of the business is the critical magic. Every successful investment I have made was the result of a partnership. Longstanding partnerships are rare. Mutual respect is the essential glue that keeps partnerships together. “Bear killer” inside guys are rare and should be treasured but so are the “Bear deliverer” outside guys.
I look for businesses where Inside Guy has created something really special but needs the help of Outside Guy to turn it into a business. The Biotech industry is a target rich/hunter poor environment for inside guys with huge ideas looking for capital. Biotech inside guys are almost always academic inventors. The Inside Guy’s biggest liability is his lack of appreciation of the value of branding, marketing, business development and capital formation. They consider these “soft issues” that are trivial and it dooms many to failure because they believe their technology will stand on its own. They think, “My problem is money. Just give me some money and I will make millions for everyone lucky enough to invest.” The problem is almost never money as much as it is lack of an effective partnership.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
