Advisory Services
Launching and scaling a startup is challenging. Even if you are a seasoned entrepreneur, the statistics are unsettling. Investopedia reports that 90 percent of new businesses fail within the first three years. And Startup Genome cautions that four out of every ten startups today are in the “red zone”—meaning that they had three months or fewer of capital runway.
As a startup scales, it becomes more difficult for the CEO to always know what to do. And making the wrong decision can be devastating for a young business. An experienced Advisor can be your “swim buddy” when you find yourself in the deep end of the pool. If you engage one, make certain that he or she:
- ‘gets’ what you do and buys into your long-term direction;
- has the skill sets, credentials and experience that will help you the most,
- brings a chemistry that promotes working together; and
- is committed to your success.
I have worked with more than 60 startups to:
Help them launch and scale their business by focusing the business plan, fund raising, establishing their initial distribution channel, and playing an active board role;
Identify and overcome obstacles to their rapid growth and ensure that their strategy, customer value proposition, go-to-market model and capitalization are aligned to achieve their growth goals;
Leverage his extensive network to generate new prospects, identify strategic partners, hire key team members, and recruit an advisory board; and
Mentor and advise the CEO and leadership team.
