Waterford provides professional management services to
reinforce the position of CEO, COO or division head.
We complement the scientist, engineer or other company
leader whose strength lies in one area, like R&D, or who seeks a seasoned
venture manager as mentor-in-residence. We can also serve on an interim basis.
The rationale for professional management, particularly
when a firm seeks its first round of institutional capital, is expressed by
this conundrum:
Few
founders are prepared to address the critical business elements of a new
enterprise, and few early stage firms will attract institutional capital unless
these matters are addressed.
This is further compounded by the difficulty
in recruiting and retaining a CEO, COO or division head who:
-
Is a seasoned venture manager.
-
Operates effectively, despite imperfect information in
a rapidly changing arena.
-
Can serve flexibly, be it part-time or flex-time,
virtually or onsite, short or long-term.
-
Will assist with recruiting his or her replacement,
smoothly cede responsibility, and be available to provide counsel thereafter as
needed.

Our professional management services address
the core elements of any technology business, namely:
-
Creating and executing the business plan.
-
Raising and maintaining the capitalization.
-
Developing people and infrastructure
-
Courting customers, partners and vendors.
-
Commercializing technology.
While we follow a standard approach, these services are
tailored to each firm’s unique requirements.

Management services, please contact us.
