"Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not."-Michael Dell




pitch US

Starting a business can be both challenging and rewarding. Most startups lack the proper skills, experience, tools and guidance to succeed.

Our objective is to work with startups in an advisory capacity, guiding them through the various phases of development, from idea conceptualization to successful execution.

Our team of industry/subject matter experts, have years of experience starting businesses and investing in successful startups. Advice we provide, is based on our years working on various challenges faced by startups.

We have structured our service into three stages:

1. Discovery

In this phase, we seek to understand your business and the challenges your business is faced with. This is also an opportunity to assess and determine the most suitable advisor for your business and if we are best suited for the service you need.

2. Initial Advisory

Once we match you with an advisor, he/she will work with you to resolve your immediate business challenges. You will have access to this advisor for three months, during which time, together you will structure a work/execution plan covering aspects of the business you need advise on. In order to make your meetings fruitful, you will be required to provide updates on the progress of agreed executable actions. Meeting times and structure will be agreed upon between you and your advisor.

3. Formal Engagement

We realize after three months most startups will have no need for our advisory services. At this point, our engagement ends. There will be a few businesses who need further advisory services from us. While the 1st two stages are at no cost to you, where a formal engagement is required, it will come at a small cost. This cost can be paid through cash or a small equity allocation depending on whats mutually acceptable.
