Pre-Seed/Seed level startups (Lean Startup Launch):
• MVP design & deployment – testing market, product, business model, and customer experience assumptions. My approach to developing your MVP strategy is simple: learn and beat your competitors on everything. Take away their customers using their successful strategies and methods. ✅
• Branding, marketing, and sales strategies – Most early stage startups do it wrong. Your MVP is your branding and marketing exercise. Ask me how. ✅
• Business model design – I typically experiment with 10-100 business model assumptions before we launch. I will show you. ✅
• Product-market fit & customer experience management – Meeting early adopters, gathering feedback, and gauging interest in the product. I help you setup your Measure – Learn – Pivot system. ✅
• Building your core team – I help you recruit your co-founders and core team. This what gets investors interested. ✅
• Financial modeling – At seed level, you don’t need a very complicated plan. I have developed 100s of financial models for startups. In summary, I help you look very smart with investors. ✅
• Fundraising strategies – In April 2020 alone I raised well over $1.2M for my startups. However, this part of the business is getting quite complicated these days. I help you with valuation, set up/track/achieve the right metrics the investors are looking for in your industry. I also help you prepare your pitch deck and train you on how to take the heat and sell. ✅
I am NOT a Registered Broker, so I am legally unable to offer your company to investors.
============================
Series A, B, and C.
• Startup Builder – At this stage, it's all about execution and growth.
I help build growth startups from the ground up by performing outsourced CXO roles (Contract CXO - CEO, CFO, CMO, CSO). After a brief assessment, I hit the ground running. I compliment the startups' executive team. ✅
• Fundraising strategy – As an investor for the past 10 years, I screened 10,000s of plans/pitches. I know what investors look for in each industry, vertical, and business models. I know the questions they ask, the metrics they want to measure, benchmark, and target. I know the investment terms they look for, how they negotiate, and close deals. Think of me as "your insider" into the VC community. ✅
