We don't disappear after fundraising
Getting funded might feel like an achievement (and in many ways, it is), but it's not actually part of fundamental business execution that will generate revenues and profits. Now it's time to grow into a more valuable company that will eventually sustain itself from internal cash flows, and we support clients through this growth phase as well. We can work with you to determine the best ways to:
Accelerate Growth
Identify the best performing and highest opportunity growth channels, and analyze the efficacy of go-to-market strategies.
Build a team
Attract and retain the most talented team members that are necessary for success, and develop compensation plans that would deplete precious capital at a pivotal stage.
Monitor performance
Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that are essential for understanding how the business is actually performing, as well as important for reporting to investors and board members. We advise on the best KPIs to track and develop systems for monitoring against forecasts and benchmarks.
Analyze cash burn
You have a finite amount of capital that has to last until your next round of financing or until you become profitable. Understand how long your cash projected to last, how your results compare to forecasts, and what's driving your cash burn
Optimize marketing spend
Learn how to measure the cost of acquiring customers, compare efficiency between different marketing strategies, ensure that the average customer is profitable to acquire, and maximize ROI on previous dollars flowing to marketing
Define strategic action steps
Translate your financial goals to clearly defined, measurable actions with deadlines for you and your team. Accountability and direction, with a big picture in mind, keeps everyone moving towards ultimate goals with daily clarity.
