Venture Management

From Startup to Handover

An Evahan consultant can be engaged to manage a venture from inception to completion. For startups, the objective is to establish the business and ensure a seamless handover to the installed management.

A Venture Management mandate can also apply to well-established businesses undergoing significant changes or improvements. These changes may not be incremental but rather substantial leaps.

Leap improvements provide a way to differentiate your business, capture market share, establish a unique identity, attract attention and build a stronger competitive advantage.

Venture Leaps

Venture leaps could involve:

  • Exploring new geographical or target markets
  • Pivoting the business model
  • Preparing the business for a rapid transformation to become an attractive M&A target
  • Implementing new technology or undertaking a significant human resources restructure

Additionally, a Venture Management engagement might involve operating the business as it prepares for a spin-out to welcome a joint venture partner, or even winding it down strategically.

Through this comprehensive approach, Evahan consultants ensure that businesses navigate these critical transitions smoothly and successfully.
