Startup Consulting

The shift from startup to scale-up is real and requires a different mindset. Things that got you through the first 12-18 months might not get you through the next 24.

It's time to review what's worked and what hasn't. You might be thinking...

I spend all my time fundraising and appeasing investors
How am I going to deliver the growth I promised?
How can I hire fast enough?
How do I get my revenues and margins up?
I’m just firefighting all day
How do I maintain the culture we’ve built?

You’re probably feeling all of these and more, but to answer these, you need to ask:

Do we have a clear vision?
Are the team aligned around it?
Is our customer proposition clear and working?
Do we have product market fit?
Are we easy to do business with?
What are our targets, by team, by person, by month, quarter and year?
Who are our customers and partners?
How do we reach them - via sales teams for B2B, or Direct to Consumer?
How are we measuring success?

Once we establish where the bottlenecks are, we build a plan to accelerate growth in the right areas.
