Growth Through
Collaboration
Human Potentials
Unlimited ("HPU") is building an industry power-house.
Industry Aggregation
involves
bringing a number of companies together through joint venture style
cooperation and, in some cases, stock swaps with a publicly-traded
flagship company. Member companies benefit through joint ventures and
cross marketing relationships; as preferred vendors and suppliers for
one another; through reduced operating costs via volume purchases and
other economies of scale; as well as the exchange of private illiquid
stock for shares in a public company trading at significantly higher
multiples. Companies are typically aggregated around a common theme
such as a market or industry.
Perhaps the quickest
way to understand the HPU Industry Aggregation model is by comparing it
to the more well-known Japanese "Keiretsu"
which first appeared after the second World War and is credited with
contributing to Japan's rapid rebuilding and emergence as a global
economic powerhouse, more commonly known as the "Economic Miracle". The
Keiretsu is typically a group of large publicly-traded industrials who
cooperate closely and have interlocking ownership. Each Keiretsu
includes a bank as a member to provide financing. In contrast, the
Aggregation model focuses on delivering much the same benefits to small
to mid-sized privately held companies. The Aggregation's listed
flagship company serves as the combined group's "banker".
While the Keiretsu
model is still
relatively new to the west, certain leading organizations have already
adopted variations of it successfully. These include top tier US
venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Cisco
Systems, Richard Branson's The Virgin Group, and Deutsche Bank to name
but a few.
There are tremendous
benefits to be
derived in every operational area from membership in an Aggregation's
combined industry group which is committed to the success of all its
participants.
