By comparison, we like to position ourselves as a hybrid of angel, private equity and business accelerator (think of us like a blend between the shows Shark Tank and The Profit).
Toolkits
Toolkit Sessions
If you have ever tried solving business problems that you haven’t encountered before, you know how frustrating it can be to start from scratch. Furthermore, you won't be sure if what you’re doing is going to end up wasting your time and money.
Having someone by your side who has already solved these business problems, can be a huge help. That’s why big companies hire expensive management consultants for support in the first place. The only problem is, that hiring the big name consultants, can cost you $hundreds of thousands, and take too much time to complete. Not every business or team can afford this, especially if you are a startup, small or midsize company.
At Straticos, we want to do something about this, because we believe everyone deserves to receive high value strategic business guidance, regardless of your size or budget. That’s why we've aligned with Slidebooks® (made up of ex-McKinsey®, Deloitte® and BCG® consultants), and use their Business & Consulting Toolkits™ - to help solve your specific problems/objectives. To note, it took 20,000 +hours and cost $1.7M to create these toolkits.
Optimize your performance quicker, better and more affordably, with Straticos and our ready-made and customizable Toolkit Sessions.
