Pitching skeptical investors; hiring top talent; maneuvering cash crunches; iterating through dead-ends to solutions; closing interminably long sales cycles; hand-holding grumpy customers; selling our company—we've done it.

Our experience

Why we do this work

01

We want to contribute

It’s hard to build and run a company that fulfills its full potential. We know this as founders, as employees and as investors. Over the past few years each of us has found ourselves in mentorship roles, and we enjoy the work of cutting through the noise to get to the core of an issue, defining a strategy and getting it done. Offering our support to other companies turns this into a product.

02

We love building real things

We love good products so much that we’re building some of our own! We have all raised venture capital in the past, but we prefer not to rely on outside investors, so we split our time between consulting and developing our own products.

03

We enjoy the ride

Because it’s hard to build and run a good company, it can (and usually does) feel all-consuming. We know what it feels like to lose perspective on what is actually important: relationships, connection to nature, finding and fulfilling potential. Yes, the first task of any employee or consultant is to help you get important things done–but there’s no end to those. Our own motto is “Life is now!” and we hope to bring that spirit to your company too.
