The Venture Drive Advantage
Why do otherwise successful companies fail in their efforts to expand their business in new directions? The reason is simple. Well-established companies are designed to succeed at operating existing businesses as is. The very systems, processes, and bureaucracies companies create to grow and scale make it difficult for internal management teams to respond quickly and creatively to the market's needs.
Venture Drive Consulting helps companies overcome these obstacles by providing the fresh perspective and venture development expertise companies need to effectively identify and develop new products, services, and business units. We explore new opportunities free from the internal bias, conventional wisdom, and turf battles that can distract in-house staff.
Venture Drive differs from most other consulting firms in three key ways:
- Venture Evaluation Expertise: We’ve developed a sharp eye for determining which business ideas have market potential. We gained this expertise by evaluating hundreds of business plans, advising dozens of start-ups, and working in the trenches with start-ups of our own.
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: At our core we are scrappy entrepreneurs. We have a history of launching new products on a shoestring and rapidly cultivating Fortune 1000 clients and top-tier strategic partners. We apply this approach to drive intrapreneurial efforts within large companies.
- Best Practice Aggregation: We've distilled the best practices of leading innovation strategists, entrepreneurs/ intrapreneurs, and venture capital firms for driving innovation, identifying high-potential growth opportunities, and launching internal start-ups. Our best practice focus enables us to apply the methodology and approach that will work best for your needs.
