Startup Mavericks (SUM) is an early stage consultancy designed to accelerate the growth of your startup. We accomplish this by leveraging our team of developers, marketers, investors, and PR professionals. Our talents are as diverse as our backgrounds, but we all share a passion for helping startups succeed. We've learned a great deal along the way and look forward to sharing that knowledge with you. At SUM we have a unique approach to startup consulting/coaching that is designed to meet the wide-ranging needs of startup founders and small business owners. While most early stage consultants focus on getting their clients to MVP (minimum viable product) we take a more long-term approach and focus on MVC (minimum viable company). As a result we have the flexibility to work with startups that are just raising a friends and family round all the way through startups that have raised their Series A and beyond.To accomplish this we blend strategic consulting with tactical execution to make sure your vision is realized. Whether you're a startup formulating a strategy or an established small business looking to grow, we have tailor made programs that respond to your current needs and progress. Launching a business means facing a lot of unanticipated decisions and risks. As one of our founders put it, "I feel like every morning I wake up I 'm trying to navigate a mine field." From the experience of starting our businesses, we appreciate the situation and have the insight to navigate the terrain successfully.
