How It Works

Three steps to ten qualified meetings

You define the profile. We find the brands. You show up and demo.

Tell us your ICP

Share your ideal customer profile — revenue range, tech stack, category, team size. The more specific, the better we can match you with brands that are genuinely a fit.

We source the meetings

Storm King identifies matching brands from our 225+ opted-in members, confirms availability, and schedules ten 30-minute sessions on your behalf.

You demo, they give feedback

Run your demo or product walkthrough. Brands share honest feedback and complete a structured debrief — no fluff, no tire-kickers.

What's Included

Everything handled for you

🎯

ICP-Matched Brands

Every meeting is pre-screened against your defined criteria — revenue range, platform, category, and more. No generalist lists.

📅

Scheduling Handled

Storm King coordinates availability, sends calendar invites, and manages rescheduling. You get a clean calendar with 10 confirmed slots.

🗣️

Structured Feedback

Participants complete a short post-session debrief so you walk away with actionable product and positioning insight — not just impressions.

🛡️

Opt-In Network Only

Every brand in the cohort has agreed to participate. No cold outreach — these are warm, willing participants from day one.

🤝

Backed by the Storm King Network

The credibility of the Storm King brand opens doors. Brands show up because they trust the network — not because they were cold-emailed.

🎁

We Handle All Gift Cards

Participant incentives — gift cards, thank-you tokens — are sourced, managed, and delivered by Storm King. You just provide the budget and we handle the rest.
