SMALL BUSINESS OR STARTUP?

You don’t have to be a unicorn from day 1!

 

Dream big, but start small.

Startups and unicorns all start with a humble beginning.

Define your own terms of success. This is after all, the liberation and freedom you seek when you start your own.

No matter which path you choose, all new businesses benefit from being effective – doing the right things first.

Some brief nuances that differentiate the two.

SMALL BUSINESS

  • Span across all categories
  • Service oriented and relies on man hours
  • Solo is preferred
  • Own fundings
  • 100% ownership is preferred

STARTUP

  • Majority tech-driven
  • Look to automate as much
  • Co-founder or founding team is preferred
  • Set out to seek external fundings and exits
  • Willing to give up selective equity and control
  • Runs on-going experiments to learn and build new features

TRACTION ROADMAP, INSTEAD OF FINANCIAL MODELS

Startup Traction Roadmap

TRACTION IS THE GOAL

As early-stage entrepreneurs, it’s extremely difficult to forecast financials, let alone success.

We have a pragmatic approach and help look at the minimum success criteria you need to sell a story backed by customer traction, a key indicator of investability and scalability.

We will show you the number of new customers, active customers to retain and other important metrics, without hiring a financial modeller!

Vern is very sharp. She goes directly to the core and guides me to find the truth in what I do.
The way she coaches is so structured, but also intuitive and very spot on.
I feel very lucky to have met her and learned from her at the beginning of my practice. 
The clarity is worth everything. It saves us time and money in the long run. 
I would highly recommend Vern to any businesses, startups and anyone who’s ready to pivot. Thank you so much Vern!

NOT YOUR SOLUTION!

Too often entrepreneurs jump straight to the solutions, without fully understand the root cause of the problem one is seeing or experiencing.

Result? Built something that nobody wants!
