The Davos in the Desert Data Center Cooling Technologies Virtual Conference webpage will go live on May 15, 2024. Investors and other interested parties will be able to read your company’s brief (750 character) profile on the conference page. Investors from around the world and potential business partners will be able to click on the podcasts of interest and listen to the sessions. Significant marketing will take place before the conference page goes live.

The purpose of the podcast is for senior executives to communicate their companies’ stories to the investment community. The podcast begins with the interviewer introducing the speaker and the company.

From that point, the podcast can either be interactive/conversational (with the interviewer asking questions and the guest answering them) or a roadshow-like presentation.

Please do not disclose anything that is proprietary, under NDA or that could be considered insider information.

The logistics are very simple. A Zoom link is sent to the guest when the session is scheduled. At the appointed time, the guest logs onto the Zoom podcast.

Please conduct the podcast in one place—that is, not while walking or driving. Please make sure that you have a strong Internet connection as well as good camera and microphone. While most of our outlets are audio only, our podcasts (video included) are usually posted on YouTube. The recommended dress code is business casual.

Below is a headset that delivers good quality sound:

To make a good impression on the listeners, we recommend that you find a private location, where interruptions are unlikely.

We can accommodate one request to reschedule your podcast at no additional charge. A fee of $250 will be required to reschedule your podcast after that.

Our interviewers typically spend two to three hours researching your company and industry. As each interview is unique, the questions are tailored to each company. However, the following are typical discussion points.

• Products offered (legacy products, anticipated product launches)
• Unique value proposition vis-à-vis competition
• Target customer segments
• Go-to-market strategy
• Industry growth drivers (technology, demographics, regulation, legislation)
• Industry challenges (technology, demographics, regulation, legislation)
• Management (profiles, depth, incentives)
• Research efforts
• Intellectual property portfolio
• Balance sheet (structure, capital needs, cash burn)
• Financial performance and projections (revenues, profits, margins, cash flows)

You can chat with our interviewers about the nature of the interview for a few minutes right before recording begins.

We regularly conduct podcasts with privately held hi-tech companies. You may want to listen to this podcast as well as this one. We also recently conducted an interview with Nick Hume, Founder & Managing Director of Hume Consulting, on an Overview of Data Center Cooling Technologies. Access to a previously recorded data center cooling technologies company podcast is available here.

David Liepman

We don’t know exactly who will listen to your podcast. However, our marketing is almost entirely directed to professional investors and high net worth investors as well as executives responsible for mergers and acquisitions, strategic investments, joint-ventures, licensing and business development. Our email database–consisting of the targeted demographics below–stands at approximately 120,000.

A rough breakdown follows:

Venture Capitalists – 2,200
Private Equity / Family Offices – 5,300
Portfolio Managers – 3,100
HNW / Angels / Executives – 110,000

Your interview will be distributed through the major podcast networks such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, Overcast, iHeartRadio, CastBox, PocketCasts, RadioPublic and several others. We will market your interview through social media channels. We will also send email blasts, highlighting the participating companies in our Davos in the Desert Data Center Cooling Technologies Virtual Conference.

You may post a link on your website, directing viewers to your interview on the Davos in the Desert website. You may also write press releases about your podcast and market your interview through the (social media) channels of your choosing. Sometimes the quality of the listeners is more important than the quantity of the listeners. Thus, the greatest use of a video clip of your interview occurs when it falls into the right hands. So, you can send a link to the video clip to your most important investors and channel partners.

The cost of producing a podcast for inclusion in the Davos in the Desert Data Center Cooling Technologies Conference is $3,500. However, significant discounts (of as much as 70%) are available for the first data center cooling technologies companies that commit to present at our May 15 conference.

Simply fill out the form to the right. Your application should take less than five minutes to complete.

Yes. In the event you are not happy with your interview and notify us accordingly, we will refrain from posting it. You can also send us a “take-down” notice and we will remove the interview within 72 hours. Usually much quicker than that.

We discourage editing the podcast. The podcast is meant to be a frank exchange between the company representatives and the interviewer. Consider the podcast as you would a live interview. Nevertheless, in the rare events when a company executive inadvertently discloses confidential information, we will try to edit out the few seconds that you believe could be damaging to your company. A $150 editing fee needs to be remitted for the editing process to begin.

Your podcast will be free to all listeners for 45 days after the launch of the conference (on May 15, 2024). Any one in the world can listen to your podcast for free during this time. After that, the podcast may be available for purchase for non-members of Davos in the Desert. You podcast will remain free on our website to members of Davos in the Desert until removed.

We can always run another podcast later. We can also prepare Company Valuation Reports and Patent Valuation Reports. Click here to receive sample Valuation Reports. David Wanetick is also an investment banker. As an investment banker, David is involved in selling companies and raising capital. Of course, separate agreements must be reached before any Valuation Reports can be prepared or before any investment banking activities commence.
