Benefits of The Savvy Founder Services Through Real-Life Scenarios
Sam's Realization: Scaling Beyond the Corporate Mindset
Background: Sam, with 30 years of corporate experience, started an IoT business for retrofitting fleet vehicles. His company saw an impressive YoY growth, but his corporate strategy wasn't equipped to handle the impending rapid expansion.
The Savvy Founder Effect: With our advisory, Sam recognized his mindset was still that of an employee rather than an owner. By aligning with the perspective of an investor and owner, Sam reshaped his business approach, transforming his interactions with potential partners and investors. With these changes, he is now poised to earn 2-3 times more upon exit than initially anticipated.
