TESTIMONIALS FROM ENTREPRENEURS

"A big thank you to your team in Japan for the initial help with Fujutsu. This is now our second deal with them.  Pass on my thanks to the team."
- Jerry Rudisin, CEO, Agitar Software, Inc. (January 3, 2006)

"I would like to personally thank you both for the hospitality you showed me on my recent trip to Japan.  I found my first trip there to be very enjoyable and educational.  Tokyo is a beautiful city and experiencing the Japanese culture first hand was very rewarding.  Again, thanks to both of you and your team for making our trip a success."
- Richard Corley, Founder and CTO, Akorri, Inc. (October 29, 2007)

"Thank you for all your efforts. Yesterday's evening meeting with Networld Japan would have clearly had a different outcome without your support, orchestration, advice and participation. You and Globespan are what I define as an added value investor."
- Allan Wallack, President and CEO, Akorri, Inc. (May 27, 2010)


"I wanted to thank all of you for some huge effort in helping us get this PO in Q2!!!!!!! We definitely could not have done it without your help!!!"

- Dev Ittycheria, CEO, BladeLogic, Inc. (February 1, 2005)

"Thank you very much for putting the time into piecing this marketing collateral together. You are an enormous asset to our team. You have done a nice job identifying target customers, laying out our solution and including compelling customer stories in an attractive format. I agree we can iterate on this over time, but for now it's more than sufficient. We will begin using it immediately."
- Steven Thomas, Managing Director, BladeLogic Japan K.K. (August 21, 2006)

"I appreciate the kind words, however, it should be noted that YOU were the reason that this deal was brought to completion. We are so lucky to have you and the Globespan team as partners. It has been a great pleasure to work with you and I am looking forward to doing bigger and better things in the future."
- Steve Robinson, VP of Sales, Copan Systems, Inc. (December, 19, 2006)

- Christopher V. Cook, Sr. Vice President Worldwide Sales & Customer Care, Hatteras Networks, Inc. (November 11, 2007)

"Globespan Capital Partners has provided us valuable strategic advice on how to approach the complex Japanese market for our Globalization Management Software.

We appreciate your strong combination of selling savvy, technical comprehension and commitment to fuel growth for Idiom in a competitive Japanese market."
- Mike Iacobucci, President and CEO, Idiom Technologies, Inc. (June 28, 2006)

"Your team has provided us with a huge amount of help in coordinating meetings in Tokyo over the last 3 months. Their assistance has allowed us to engage with senior management at many companies that could help make our entry into Japan more successful. I doubt we could have covered this much ground in this time period without their help. Very much appreciated.
- David Fleck, VP of Marketing and Business Development, Linden Research, Inc. (August 23, 2006)

"I would like to thank you for all the help you have provided us in scheduling our meetings in Japan. Not only have you succeeded in convincing all those companies to meet with us but also your help was instrumental to enable the success of the respective meetings. Your timely translations and conversations have helped to "break the ice" and our guests started not only asking for more information related to our company and its technology but also have provided some valuable information related to what problems/targets they might want to solve/achieve. All in all your help was instrumental in the success of our trip and meetings and we will use the introductions and get to know meetings to start a collaborative process with the interested companies. Thank you!"
- George Ghenciu, Director, Nantero, Inc. (June 9, 2007)

"Suzuki san's local knowledge and assistance was very helpful in our recent visit to major Japanese semiconductor companies.  Our business development effort on this trip was boosted by his communication skills and helpful suggestions."

It is one of our most important target customers and we greatly appreciate your assistance. The direct connection that you have established this week and the informal channel could be of critical importance. Once we get our chips designed into the target customer systems we will forever be in your debt."
