If you feel your product or service can be truly valuable for a bigger number of large and enterprise-grade companies than currently served by you or if you would like to improve credibility for your company among investors, we would recommend building authentic relations with analysts who regularly publish authoritative reports and consult your potential customers and investors on the vendors, technologies and products they can trust. Examples of analyst firms include BloombergNEF (BNEF), Verdantix, Cleantech Group, Gartner, and Forrester Research.
