CORPORATE ADVISORY
Strategic Direction
A startup founder's success often hinges on their ability to develop and execute a clear strategic direction. We focus on strategic direction, vision and execution, competitive analysis, business definition or creating brand partnerships, areas we know are crucial for startups to gain a competitive edge.
Staying the Course
By objectively defining a startup's mission, competitive landscape and setting SMART goals, founders can create a roadmap that aligns their team towards defined common goals. Performance metrics ensure that you stay on track, adapt to market changes and remain flexible to achieve your goals.
Guarantee Team Consistency
Effective execution skills are critical for startup founders to bring their strategic plans to life. We focus apologetically on key execution skills like action planning, talent acquisition, industry networking, team building and continuous improvement to ensure you stay on track and execute consistently.
Repeatable Scalable Wins
Only by developing cascading action plans, high-performing teams, and continuously improving processes, can startup founders ensure they are executing on their strategic plans in a sustainable and scalable way - in-building market lessons across their teams in real-time.
Leadership Coaching
We elevate leadership coaching to hands-on active management guidance to founding teams, we work with sales or marketing teams through major change processes or we join boards in both advisory or supervisory roles, on behalf of founders or investors, pre and post investment.
Resilient Mindset
Startup founders must wear many hats, including being a visionary leader, a team player, an effective communicator as well as a productive manager. Leadership coaching helps founders develop the skills and more importantly the mindset necessary to lead effectively in turbulent times.
1-on-1 Founder Mentoring
By improving their leadership skills, founders can build a strong organizational culture, attract top talent, and build a sustainable startup. We help founders build confidence, manage effectively, and develop the resilience to weather the stressors of startup life.
