Real Risk Has a Real Solution

The Risk

Getting funding to develop a proof of concept, demonstrate product-market fit, create revenue and start to build a team is an amazing accomplishment.  Now you need to show investors you have a plan to scale and then actually scale.

Which is a shift many start-ups fail to make.  Why?

Starting a business and scaling a business require vastly different skills and systems.  

Start-ups fail for many reasons – cash flow, business models, market shifts, product readiness, user research, being outcompeted. 

Running throughout all of those are two leverage points that can fundamentally change the rate of success.

The leadership team and business processes.   

We asked VCs what contributed most to the success or failure of their portfolio companies. The management team was identified as the most important factor by far. Harvard Business Review 2021

The Leverage Points

A Targeted Solution

I help the leadership team implement business and people processes that are essential for sustainable scaling and shift their leadership approach.

Collective organizational capacity can increase in weeks. Simple systems help guide a fast-moving, rapidly growing organization. 

My approach is laser-focused on the most critical business outcomes for your start-up.  Which leads to faster revenue growth, stronger innovation, improved execution, and sustainable growth.

The Result

Transforming Organizations Into Engines of Success

Skilled start-up leadership teams who understand what it takes to scale make decisions faster, respond more effectively to changing business conditions and develop more innovative solutions. 

They know how to build organizations with high growth capacity. Organizations that are productive, agile, innovative and retain talent.

Start-ups with high growth capacity produce faster revenue growth, a shorter path to product market fit and a greater likelihood of generating significant return on investment. 

My goal is to take a point of potential collapse and turn it into the base upon which growth is inevitable.
