Our Founder Consulting Approach
The founder consulting process typically involves several key stages to create a unique, powerful, and focused plan that meets your needs. Here’s a general outline of the consulting services for startups process.
- Initial Contact and Understanding Needs: We’ll start our services with the initial contact, where we look to understand your needs, challenges, and goals. This process can be as simple or complicated as you want; we can meet with you, or we can meet with different stakeholders. This step may also include gathering relevant data, information, and documents related to your business, industry, or specific problem.
- Proposal and Agreement: We will present you with a proposal outlining the scope of our founder mentoring or consulting work, methodology, timelines, costs, and deliverables. This proposal will often go through many revisions at your direction. Once you feel it is complete and reflects what you want and need, a formal agreement will be signed, defining the terms, responsibilities, and expectations of both of us.
- Solution Development: First, we will analyze the gathered data to identify issues, opportunities, and potential solutions using various tools, frameworks, and methodologies. Then, we will develop strategies, recommendations, and solutions tailored to your needs and challenges. Our founder advisory action plan will outline steps, resources, timelines, and responsibilities for implementing the proposed solutions.
- Evaluation and Feedback: We will regularly track our progress and get feedback from you about the effectiveness of our startup consulting work. As much as possible, we will evaluate the outcomes and impact of the implemented solutions against predefined metrics and goals.
- Closure and Follow-up: As our founder advisor service ends, we will provide a final report and presentation offering recommendations, ongoing support, follow-up consultations, or additional services if needed.
Our aim is to provide comprehensive, strategic advice and solutions that address your unique needs and contribute to their success.
Founder Consulting FAQ:
Here are some common questions we are asked about our founder advisor services:
How does Founder Consulting differ from Coaching?
Founder consulting is more about the business, while Founder Coaching is more about the Founder. Our services for startups are designed to help you get funding, develop and grow brand equity, and find market share. We work with leadership on the best paths for each of these goals.
Do I Need a Founder Advisor?
Everyone can use a mentor or a close colleague to bounce ideas off of, particularly when that person has been through many of the same hurdles and challenges before. Often, what happens with startups, however, is that there is so much competition that it is hard to find and connect with these people. We can fill that gap.
When Will I see Results from Founder Consulting?
At the beginning of the advisory engagement, we will design a plan with meaningful, measurable, and important goals for your company. We will review our progress toward these goals as time passes, and you should see real progress.
What Do You Mean that the Services are “Guaranteed”?
In every engagement plan, we break down any fees we will be charging, and some portion of any fees will always be contingent on your satisfaction. This is once again why we set measurable goals for startup consulting since we want it to be obvious that we’ve been able to help.
Why Should We Choose You?
At this point, we ask you to choose us just to hear about our Founder Consulting services. We’re not yet asking you to choose us for as your Startup Advisory. Together we will talk about the potential match between our services and background, and only then can you decide whether to choose us.
