Sproutfire

Leaders of early-stage companies and initiatives use Sproutfire services as an extra pair of hands -- akin to a Chief of Staff focused on strategic development -- to resourcefully help them validate and expand some of their strategic ideas, and to start momentum for new initiatives. How: By acting at both the broad-picture and street levels...with teams or as an individual contributor...as a driving force or as support for leadership...and delivering a combination of the following as needed: • Strategic dev: Adaptively devising, augmenting, and/or validating business and solution strategies • Partner dev: Designing, forging and expanding valuable partnership opportunities • Stakeholder dev: Building strategically supportive third-party champion communities • Reality checks: Designing and implementing interview and pilot programs, for clarity and momentum • Product dev: Using the four bullets above to support or lead early product definition • Early sales dev: Landing initial sales, typically on a shoestring, often with just demos or prototypes • Marcom support: Helping to refine marketing communications for increased impact Sproutfire uses a “bite-sized” approach that is affordable, flexible, low-risk, high-energy and high-impact.
