Entrepreneurs

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that early-stage companies have small teams and limited resources so an external support system can be critical. They need access to folks who can provide tactical and practical support, not just irrelevant or grandiose suggestions based on a 30,000-foot view of the business.

We also believe that trust, transparency, aligned interests and sensible decision making are essential to developing enduring partnerships.

WHAT WE DO

Today it feels like anyone can start a company, but where most fail is in the execution. We partner closely with founders to help them develop and grow their businesses. Leveraging our network, we’re able to help them gain access to money, talent and ideas. We love to dig in and get our hands dirty.

More specifically, though it varies greatly from client to client, the types of things we are commonly asked to do include:

• Provide introductions to prospective mentors, investors, customers, and/or strategic alliance partners.
• Provide tactical support, whether it’s helping to put together a market expansion plan or it’s fine-tuning key marketing collateral.
• Provide market intelligence and other forms of market development support.

HOW WE DO IT

We benefit from our highly diverse network. Throughout our careers we constantly sought out different perspectives, ideas, and backgrounds so, over time, our networks have become inherently diverse and differentiated from traditional advisory service organizations, thereby enabling us to quickly and efficiently access whatever it is our client requires.
