What We Do
Since 1998, we’ve been helping entrepreneurs and bold business leaders turn their visions into reality. We specialize in guiding early-stage companies from concept to sustainable growth, and support leaders navigating the corporate "hunger games" to bring their ideas to life.
Business Strategy
Emerging companies often neglect strategic planning due to event overload or cash-flow pressures. We bring a disciplined, objective approach to creating clear, visual plans that stakeholders can own.
Business Development
Founders are often scientists or engineers who struggle with "selling" their ideas or seeking investment. We help frame the strategy, make key connections, and create revenue opportunities.
Go-To-Market
Entrepreneurs often overlook how customers or stakeholders perceive their ideas, or struggle to distill them into a clear elevator pitch. We help with strategic positioning and impactful messaging.
Voice-Of-Customer
Innovation leaders and entrepreneurs often become blinded by their own ideas, creating an imagined reality. We help define "needs vs. wants" and prioritize what customers truly seek.
NEWCO Creation
Passionate product people don’t always make efficient company builders, especially with time and money on the line. We know the path to building a successful business (for-profit or non-profit) and avoiding common pitfalls.
Brand Strategy
A strong brand strategy sets great businesses apart from good ones. We help define or refine your mission, values, and customer promise to build a distinctive brand that earns trust and drives long-term loyalty.
Our Forte Is Founders
Because we understand them.
Starting a business can be just as unpredictable and chaotic as watching a toddler learn to walk. While some experts have identified key traits that make certain ventures more successful than others, the truth is that people remain the biggest variable in determining success.
Entrepreneurs (and intrapreneurs) often have the technical skills to create great products or services, but they may lack the expertise needed to navigate and run a growing business. We specialize in supporting founder-led organizations and technology-driven cultures, guiding them through the unique challenges that come with building an emerging business.
