Strategy
STEP 1: APPLY
Complete our tried-and-true application. It takes 5 minutes to complete and will help us make sure you're a good fit. You'll discover your real needs to achieve desired outcomes, identify gaps and be honest with yourself about what matters as an entrepreneur.
You can expect a response in 2-3 business days.
STEP 2: ASSESS
Once approved, we will schedule a video call to assess your (and your teams) needs in further detail. Our team will ask questions about your short to long-term aspirations and answer any questions you have. If we decide to work together, we'll agree on terms and we'll get started.
STEP 3: DIAGNOSE
We'll begin our multi-week diagnostic process. We'll personally gather information about your business venture to provide a proper diagnosis. No detail will be left out. In total, you'll spend about eight-ten hours on video calls, and we'll handle the rest behind the scenes.
STEP 4: PRESENT
Our diagnostic work will culminate with a video call where we'll present your bespoke IDEATION TO EXIT ROADMAP™. Every detail will be covered, from ideation to exit. Ask any questions you want, and we'll follow up by sending your bespoke roadmap after the video call.
