About
“In giving advice we seek to help not to please”
-Solon, Greek Lawgiver, 638 BC
Solon Partners is an executive consulting and angel investor company specializing in helping technology companies that have international potential.
In the enthusiasm and excitment of starting a new business, entrepreneurs tend to selectively overlook or postpone dealing with many difficult aspects of the business (actual market demand, IP status, competition, viability and scalability of the business model, etc). Ignoring these aspects will not make them disapear over time. In addition, market, investors and potential acquirers do not forgive these unadressed problems when they turn up in their due diligence reviews and demand a hefty discount when valuing your company. In worst cases, ignoring the critical problems may even lead to a complete failure of the project.
Our partners work closely with the founders and management to identify the potential of their business and develop a strategic plan with detailed tasks, schedule and budget for implementation. Even the best plans become just wishful thinking if nobody actually puts them into practice. Therefore we are ready to work side-by-side with your team to make it happen.
Range of services that we have provided for our clients includes:
- Raising public and private financing
- Developing and testing effective business models
- Analyzing company valuations and exit strategies
- Conducting Due Diligence audits
- Preparing presentation and coaching for “Road Shows”
- Corporate structuring and tax planning
- Developing and evaluating Intellectual Property portfolio
- Preparing and negotiating contracts
- Developing export strategies
Our typical client is a seed or early stage technology/science company looking to overcome start-up related problems and expand operations internationally. For scheduling a time for a free initial consultation please email or call us.
