- Operations
- Commercialization Strategy

Business models can make or break a company. We help you think about what models help you create the most distinctive value proposition and delivery system for your customers. Through this exercise, we can help distill an initial value proposition that resonates with your customer segment and is a foundation for scale.
The importance of building your team, particularly at the early stages of a company cannot be overstated. Yet, this is exactly where most entrepreneurs struggle, particularly in the early stages of a company where it is most critical. We have a network of relevant talent built on 25+ years of academic, industry, and start-up experience to help build the team.
~35% of startups fail because they don’t achieve product–market fit by some estimates. Depending on the business model chosen, we leverage our network to speak to potential customers to help test product–market fit. This process will accelerate commercial momentum with customers.
Business operations can be easily overlooked and under-planned in startups leading to costly delays and wasted capital. We can help you think about all the operational details in advance to reduce this risk. We can also help you build an on-demand operation that is scalable as you need it.
Establishing early commercial traction can be an inordinate drain on the leadership. A strong commercialization strategy ensures that a company can effectively navigate thecomplexity and thrive.
Leveraging our experience in B2B selling, we can help you develop a systematic approach to target the right decision-makers with the rightapproach to effectively develop and close deals.
With all of the above, we help put you in a stronger position to raise capital on better terms. We have raised millions from Angel Investors and VCs in the past and know what they are looking for. We can collaborate with you to construct a pitch and make introductions to our network to support your raise.
