The Pivot To Profitability® Accelerator
At some point in the journey, many venture-backed startups struggle to raise their next round, with no clear path to an exit. However, if a founder acts quickly and decisively, they can extend their runway, giving their team the time and space to build enterprise value while reopening blocked paths to achieving their goals.
A thoughtful approach goes beyond simply looking for places to cut costs. Instead, it considers every aspect of the business. Pricing strategy. Gross margin improvement. A deep dive on your cap table and an assessment of the current funding environment. Interim sources of bridge funding. The potential for more robust debt facilities. Identifying “stop doing” items while accelerating investment in high-performing efforts.

Advisory Services
Raising your last round of funding was quite an achievement. However, fresh capital raises expectations and brings new voices to the table. New board directors, investors, executives, and employees across the company. Each with their own perspective on what defines success.
It can be easy for a founder to lose focus, trying to do too much, too fast. Cash burn accelerates. Key milestones slip further away.
