We thought hard about help so we could offer you the best support
The problems we faced early were: is there a market?
What do customers really want? Is it technologically possible? Ones
we faced later on: why don’t people know what is going on? Why do I
feel I have to get everything done myself? How will I ever get all
this work done? How can I sell more?
Practically you may need...
Advice: progress
This way or that way. We’ve tried ways that work and ways that don’t. Your problems are not unique. Mentoring helps.
Business plans: focus
Why are these so hard to write? Use a template or a sounding board.
Processes: relax
Pass your skills over early and grow fast!
Premises: space
Your own laboratory to develop your business. War room to focus your ideas.
Recruitment: expand
Trained people are your most valuable asset. How can you choose well when you are busy?
Legal: protection
Employment contracts, NDA, articles, shareholders agreements, policies galore.
Finance
Financing a business takes 3 to 9 months, so it is best to plan well in advance. There are a lot of steps and we can help with each one. If you want to focus on your business, then we can focus on getting investment, either from Ecrin or others, or both. We can:
- Help with your pitch
- Refine valuations
- Sort out legal agreements
- Be your lead investor
- Pitch to other investors
- Provide governance for your business
- Take care of future investor relations
- Focus on future funding rounds while you work
And, of course, we hope our experience will help your business succeed.
