Helping Venture Capital Maximize Investment Potential
Welcome to Townsend Group Strategy Consultants
Experienced based perspectives
Been there, done that. Our strategists have tackled both macro issues such as planning a response to competitive market structural changes and micro issues related to team building, organizational effectiveness, and information systems design.
A bridge between the VC and the operating team
Let's face it. Action plans resulting from strategic decisions can be dirty work. With seats on the board, active investors may support change management that is best left to outsiders who won't be sitting at the table later. We can partner with you to support the board and management team.
Wide industry exposure enables insights
Different industries have unique structures which determine the competitive landscape, but the framework for analysis built through exposure to one applies across many. Our consultants have experiences ranging from manufacturing, financial services, and technology to the emerging cannabis industry.
