Solutions & Approaches You Haven’t Considered
I help entrepreneurs succeed at every stage. The process begins with a free consultation to discuss your needs.
Then you’ll receive a specific plan for your business.
Startup Services
- Opportunity Assessment. You can state problems or ask questions. Do I have a good idea? How do I move forward? Where’s my best opportunity? Do I need a technical co-founder?
- Business Formation & Seed Funding. Innovations are typically brought to market by a small team. I can help you get through the crucial milestones: business model refinement, fundraising, product launches, scaling up, staffing, and financial planning.
- Advisor Check-In. Are you concentrating on the right things? Are you using the right technology? Are you doing something that puts your innovation at risk? What’s the marketplace doing? Are you in line with consumer trends?
- Prototyping & Product Development. How do you turn your idea into a real product or service? What’s the most cost-efficient process? What do investors want to see at your stage?
- Monetization. I will help you assess options for monetizing your innovation and explore the best ways to move forward.
- Digital Marketing. Does your site get enough traffic? How are your conversion rates? Do you have a realistic customer acquisition strategy? What about SEO, or manageable community and social media engagement?
- Concept Testing & Refinement. You must talk with your target customers at various points throughout the development process. I will help you use a variety of agile research methods to test your concept, correctly interpret the results and evolve your product.
- Vendor Sourcing. Who will build your product? Do you need help with UX/UI or a coder? How much will it cost? I will help you find answers by:
- Creating a shortlist of top developers and writing your RFP… project definition, goals, and deliverables.
- Vetting process: develop interview questions, negotiate with firms, and help identify the best candidate for your project.
- Evaluating results: assess deliverables, critique your prototype and help you refine it.
- Intellectual Property (IP) protection is a wise investment. I will help you determine what IP is needed and how to obtain it. For patent research and IP filings, I can refer you to a trusted attorney.
Wherever you are in the startup process, I can help you.
