Our Methodology

In our decades of collective hands-on operating experience building category leaders, growing early-stage companies to convincing scale, overseeing dozens of successful acquisitions and investments, and commercializing hundreds of disruptive new products, we have been privileged to guide many successful teams from idea to product, from product to validation and from validation to commercialization at convincing scale, successfully harvesting and monetizing the upside of exponential-tech disruption.

Over the years, we have sadly seen many well-capitalized early-stage companies with strong IP fail to capture the value they create. That failure was a direct result of inferior business-modeling and undifferentiated go-to-market strategies that too often result in lower valuations, significant continuity risks, and disappointing outcomes.

We have devised our own hands-on process for guiding our portfolio companies. Specifically, we have come to believe that for early-stage companies to attain profitable, convincing scale, they must execute a series of well-defined progressive milestones designed to achieve sustainable growth. These milestones include:

• Prove: Where the startup makes its first product available to the public. At this stage, the team is seeking customer validation metrics to prove it has developed a convincing user viable product.
  
  
• Nail: The first version of a product that meets the intended use case and is ready to be purchased or used by multiple customers with satisfaction.
  
  
• Scale:The recurring market validation through repeated and expanded sales that a startup must achieve to demonstrate the viability of its business model and validate its product and market fitness.
  
  

Our team commits its collective experience, network and resources to help our startups prove, nail, and scale their businesses. Together, we are developing differentiated products, services and platforms, and creating new business models. We also host strategic workshops and powerful networking events led by our team of experienced, successful serial entrepreneurs, advisors, subject matter experts and industry leaders. Our entrepreneurs learn how to soberly meet and successfully conquer the challenges they face. Leveraging our collective wisdom, we wrestle problems to the ground and pivot to new opportunities.

Our disciplined process is grounded in the belief that better questions yield better outcomes, and that in this age and stage, business model innovation is even more important than technological innovation when it comes to placing a company on its rightful, sustainable trajectory of profitable growth.
