Founders of early-stage start-ups are often focused on getting to the series-A and to become a ‘scale up’. To do this, they need to be able to raise sufficient capital and plan for efficient capital burn. They also need to align the right talent with a scalable business model, so that they can control customer acquisition cost and have a process in place for scaling up their teams as needed. While all these factors are important, they are the key driver of why most start-ups never make it to the scale-up stage - they are busy building the product, hiring the first few employees and growing their revenue and lose sight of the bigger picture. People who are trying to do it all themselves run in to problems - they might have an idea of what they want to do, but may not have the resources or knowledge to execute so they hire people on a whim who either lack the strategic vision for the company or cannot roll their sleeves up and execute – it tends to be one or the other but finding both is hard to come by. When you partner with the right advisor, they should bring to the table: • Strategic AND tactical ability. • A large network of contacts who can bring your business to new heights • Relationships with investors and the ability to nurture new ones. • Commitment to the cause • A solid understanding that they will have their hands in the trenches with you as you grow your company.
