Business Plan Development
In order for any business to communicate its potential value, it must have a good business plan. The business plan demonstrates to potential investors that the management team has thought through the issues relating to the business and is prepared to address those issues. Sheltowee assists entrepreneurs in the life science industries with the development and writing of their business plan.
Strategic Planning
Sheltowee works with entrepreneurs in the strategic planning process. Bringing in experienced individuals that are not a direct part of the management team can breathe new life into the brain storming process for strategic planning. Sheltowee's management team and strategic advisors provide an excellent sounding board for early stage entrepreneurs.
Financing
When it is all said and done, if a business does not receive the financing it needs, it does not succeed. Sheltowee assists the entrepreneur in identifying the type of funding that is right for the business, whether that is angel funding, VC funding, bank financing, or grants. Sheltowee is in the process of cultivating relationships with venture capital firms around the country who make investments in life science companies.
Executive Recruitment
Sheltowee encounters many entrepreneurs who have a strong background in science, but do not possess all the requisite business skills. Sheltowee will work with the entrepreneur and leverage an extensive network of contacts to assist in the identification and recruitment of experienced executive management. Sheltowee has extensive experience in the relationship management between the science based inventor and the business based executive. This relationship management is critical to a successful match.
