ABOUT US
On any given day, there are over 16,000 startups competing for the attention of over 21,000 investors. Many of these conversations happen in the Silicon Valley.
As an early pioneer you invented a new way to help customers with your products and services. You worked tirelessly writing code. You found a customer, maybe ten, through personal relationships. You try to accelerate revenue. You try to get your operations in order. You search for an investor that believes in your company and shares in your vision.
And you can’t scale. And you can’t sleep.
Heritage Ventures is an Advisory Firm for small to mid-sized high tech startups. We offer four very related execution services to help start-ups scale: Go-to-Market Strategies, Revenue Acceleration, Organizational Effectiveness and Capital Sourcing. Each of these services are necessary to help a start-up break the barriers to growth.
We build or repair the Go-to-Market Strategies. We implement a repeatable and scalable revenue model. We fix the internal operations. We help you raise funds.
In addition, your company will have access to our methodologies, 1000’s of contacts, advisors from publicly traded companies, the Harvard Alumni Network, the Wisconsin Alumni Network, the DePaul Alumni Network, venture capital firms and unique Silicon Valley perspectives.
We help you scale. We help you sleep at night.
The best part is the price: we share in the risk.
