Right Bridge For Success



To run and grow a successful business, advisory can be the right bridge for success.

 

Nobody knows your business better than you do. However, bringing your vision and aspirations for your startup to fruition can be a rocky path. Getting a hands-on advisor can materially improve the way your company operates and achieve your goals quicker by leveraging the experience of professionals who have walked the same path. The advisor can think about all aspects of your business and provide an external point of view essential to founders who often deep dive into specific tasks and sometimes miss the big picture. The advisor will provide proper advice, useful intros, help you develop an investment plan, give you social proof and monitor you decision making process. In a nutshell, set your business on the right course.

Designed by Mind Cloud Academy and Advisors Genny-Ghanimeh and Marwan Salem, the advisory process covers the core components of an effective success roadmap for your startup or business.

We Practically Do Together



First, we will help you get investment ready by:

 

  • Assisting you in setting your operational plan,
  • Identifying you unique selling proposition,
  • Establishing the right go-to-market and customer acquisition strategy,
  • Creating credible financial projections resulting in the development of a pitch deck and financial model presentable to investors and VCs.

Following the investment and if need be, we can assist you in developing your business by advising management on every aspect of your operation including but not limited to sales strategy, setting processes, high level digital marketing plan and HR policy.

Our approach is not one of a consultant but rather practical advisory where we accompany the founders reach their goals.

 

Who is Advisory for?

 

  • Startups and small business who want to grow and expand
  • Founders, entrepreneurs and business owners who want to raise funding
