The Board of Directors needed to know if a financially troubled process control start-up could be rescued and made commercially viable. 

Our job was to

·      Develop an independent assessment of market opportunities, product viability and likelihood of attracting venture capital

·      Refocus the business plan to capitalize on market opportunities

·      Identify staffing requirements to complete product development, launch a marketing program, and initiate sales activities

·      Take on an interim leadership role pending establishment of a new senior leadership team

·      Lead efforts to secure needed venture capital to commercialize the product

Result: Within a few months, we successfully gained commitment for needed funding, resulting in product commercialization, an unassailable patent, and an initial large volume purchase agreement
