Business Guidance
Running a successful startup is an art, not a science. Resources are tight, distractions are everywhere, and the work is intense... and that is when things are going well. A startup is a roller-coaster ride, and seeing it through takes committment, serious effort, and careful guidance. With diverse hands-on experience in the startup world, we offer insight that you won't find in a book, from a VC, or from a corporate executive:
  • Financing - Whether grants, angels, venture capital, or personal finances, your source for capital will have long-lasting repercussions in virtually every aspect of your business dealings
  • Management - The most important component of your company, your management team will drive your company, but in what direction?
  • Directors - Be mindful of the mission, experience, and personalities of those on your Board-of-Directors
  • IP Strategy - Understand the options, protections, and limitations of your intellectual property strategy
  • Technology Application Selection - Consider the possibile applications of your technology carefully before you commit to a pathway
  • Development and Production Management - With limited resources, you can't afford to learn how to balance technology develoment and commercial production on the job
