Who We Are
Silicon Valley East Partners, Ltd. is architected to deliver as-needed, on-demand critical start-up and growth services.
Our partners have built over 20 successful businesses to include several that rank amongst the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies in the country. Additionally, we have advised over 200 start-up and small businesses.
In addition to our vast experience, we have built an eco-system of service providers who can deliver critical business resources on-demand, whether that be generating customers, recruiting key employees, obtaining capital and managing finances, developing actionable business plans, etc...
What We Do
We literally partner with you to help grow your business.
One or more of our Partners will act as a Resource Manager to assist you in understanding your current and future needs and then will focus on leading the delivery of those services.
How We Do It
We are highly selective and only work with those ownership teams and businesses that we believe in. Most of our compensation is based upon a gain share formula so we don't succeed if you don't succeed.
We are investing our time and resources in your business with you.
What We Don't Do
We don't charge large "consulting fees" to give you generic advice. We build profitable businesses and that requires critical resources at the right time.
We invest our time and resources in your business, rolling up our sleeves with you.
Critical Resources
We believe that delivering critical resources at the right time is essential. That usually relates to generating viable customers, recruiting the right talent as needed, making the right operational decisions.
Strategic planning is important and we know it well, but at the early stages of growth or turn-around, execution is most important.
We help you locate the key drivers to success at whatever stage you are at and then deliver resources so you can take advantage of opportunities when they arise
Managing Cash
Most start up and small business owners don't have the capital to invest in obtaining the resources needed to be highly successful.
If money were no object most business owners could figure out how to build their business successfully.
However, money usually is an issue.
We have created a network of highly successful executives who will provide services for equity as opposed to cash.
The owners we work with understand that is better to own the majority of a highly successful business than it is to own 100% of a struggling business.
Business Development and Sales Generation
Identify Key Customers
Knowing which customers to focus on and developing a compelling approach is the first step in building a scalable enterprise.
Your offering must be compelling to the customer. Therefore, understanding your product and service value and identifying who is likely to use it is Step 1.
Win the Business
Knowing who you should serve is one thing, but winning the business is another.
Many business owners are not trained nor deeply experienced and comfortable in sales or proposal development.
However, this is an essential element of success.
We understand how to win business
Delivering Value to your Customer
If you own a services business, it means delivering the right person with the right skills at the right time.
If you own a products business, it means delivering a product that works right the first time and is sustainable.
