Prospective Client Assessment
Before scheduling a phone call and an in-depth client assessment survey process, we encourage you to tell us a little bit about yourself first so that we can make sure we are the right fit for your vision and goals.
In what capacity are you launching a new company or brand?
Solopreneur
Are you an individual founder with a great idea for a new B2B or B2C venture that has:
Worked in a specific industry for several years;
Have a recognized personal brand among your peers;
Feel as though you have unique insights about your target market few others are addressing;
Are capitalized to fund the market insights, prototyping, marketing experimentation, and sales automation;
An understanding that receiving additional “investment capital” for your business idea before qualified sales leads are validated (that in turn justify the existence of the business altogether) is typically unlikely 97% of the time;
Would consider yourself “coachable” with time to go through short, online learning courses as mutually agreed upon.
While many of our clients are high-net worth individuals (or accredited investors), we ultimately only want to work with clients that feel as though they have a capacity to fund personally launching their new brand without risking any significant adverse impact to their financial livelihood or quality of life.
Private Business
Are you a privately-held business that is exploring ways to launch new B2B or B2C products or services? If so, do you and your team:
Have a strong sense of values and purpose that hold the team together;
Manage a brand with positive reviews online and testimonials;
Are able to budget enough time during the initial phases of our discovery process together;
See the need to keep innovating and improving, but not with a sense of frantic urgency;
Want to start working new revenue streams that increase your overall business valuation, not just its positive cash flow;
Feel willing to share your balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements with us in confidence.
It’s also important to remember that we bring to the table “process experts,” whereas you and your team are the “experts in your business.” Our role is to help you and your team co-author detailed GANNT charts that keep everyone on track toward validating new revenue streams that are aligned with both your short-term and long-term business objectives.
Publicly Traded Corporation
It has been predicted that “40% of the Fortune 500 companies today will be obsolete in 10 years.”
Our experience has shown that any form of change management effort to avoid obsolescence is much easier in complex organizations through innovating and improving upon its merger & acquisition (M&A) strategies.
Startup Champs advises Fortune 1000 corporations on methodical approaches toward accelerating the process through which M&A opportunities are collected, evaluated, and prioritized. From there, we help validate new revenue streams for these new companies, either before or directly after acquisition.
Before reaching out to us, please be sure that:
You either represent or have a strong working relationship with anyone on the M&A division;
Strong leadership that can hold a team assembled for this effort accountable to stay on budget and the mutually-agreed upon timeline.
Through its processes and methodologies, our final goal will be to help you and your team cost-effectively identify new M&A opportunities that meet the financial, technology, cultural, and prospective revenue growth requirements you establish.
