On December 1, 2010, Triggerbox, Inc. was acquired by Thinktiv, Inc.

These longtime partners have joined forces to create an unmatched combination of transformative business services for technology ventures.

The acquisition brings two highly impactful service practices together within one integrated organization: Thinktiv's nationally recognized expertise in brand transformation, product strategy, and user experience/visual interface design; and Triggerbox's leading services around capital-efficient market alignment, distribution model optimization, and early-stage corporate development strategies.

These comprehensive "Venture Acceleration" services allow early stage companies to achieve market relevance and profitable business traction earlier in their investment cycle, help shift mature brands into more valuable market trajectories, and position Thinktiv clients for M&A liquidity or infusion of growth capital.

The acquisition will also formally establish Thinktiventures - a combined portfolio of equity positions and investments held by each firm, and a platform for future investments of both financial and human capital.

Thinktiventures portfolio companies include emerging market leaders like Socialware, SharesPost, OtherInBox, PriceLock, Collider Media, and Prysm. Further details regarding Thinktiventures and its investment mandate will be made available throughout the first half of 2011.
