New Ventures

I'll help you lock in on the right approach. Then I'll invest or deploy resources to help you reach milestones.

I occasionally support other entrepreneurs with funding, strategic/advisory support, or trusted introductions through my own network. I only partner in opportunities that align tightly with my area of expertise. If I invest funds, I prefer to assume a small / minority stake in the business and only consider opportunities that solve problems related to talent attraction, employee engagement, or skills development. If we determine what you need instead is talent support related, I'll ask that we partner through my business. (See https://www.talentsum.com)

How others engage me

There are three ways we can work together on ideas, businesses, or projects.

01
As Interim or Fractional Executive

A typical interim assignment lasts 3-9 months and fractional support can be as short or as long as necessary. Fractional can be as little as a few hours per month.

If the work is talent acquisition related in any way, I'll want to run it through TalentSum LLC. (https://talentsum.com)

02
As Business Advisor

Need someone to help build up an existing business, practice group, marketing practice, or talent acquisition function? Or maybe you want to assess, optimize, or even rethink your entire business?

03
As Venture Partner

Occasionally, I invest in ideas and businesses that align with my interests and areas of expertise.

I'll only invest in the bootstrapping or pre-seed funding stage with founders that have concentrated ownership and are generating less than $500,000 in revenues per year.
