We’ll review your application and arrange an initial meeting.

3. Connect

4. Grow
Deepen the Engagement
After one or two meetings, you may get some takeaways that require you to go back and do further research or build out a business plan. Whatever the case may be, our group of advisors will provide feedback along the way.
There isn’t a “typical” duration to working with a Venture Services advisor but we will support you where we can or refer you to other groups or organizations when we see a fit.
