WHAT WE DO FOR ENTREPRENEURS
Game Change Ventures has one simple goal: Find extraordinary entrepreneurs with game-changing ideas and give them access to the people and resources needed to turn those ideas into massively successful enterprises that redefine industries. Unlike a traditional venture firm, we do not manage our own venture capital fund and do not make direct cash investments. Instead, we serve as a critical strategic partner to the CEOs we work with, providing them with ongoing business support and access to our deep Rolodex of investors, advisors and high-level business contacts.
The depth of our Rolodex gives us an 80% chance that we are one degree of separation from anyone you need to get connected to, a 15% chance that we are two degrees, and a 5% chance that we are more than that.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
Depending on what stage your company is at and what your needs are, our services will vary. We have the ability to bring to the table a variety of resources to fuel your venture, including:
- Access to investors: We’ll work with your startup to prepare you for funding and provide valuable introductions to the right investors.
- Virtual CEO/Business development: We leverage our deep Rolodex to get your company in the door with the highest-level of contacts and can assist in strategic partnership negotiations. Our team has access to top players across industries, from emerging startups to large corporations.
- High-level board of advisors: We get your startup access to some of the world’s top entrepreneurial advisors who have made millions in ventures of their own. In addition to the insight they will bring to your team, having these advisors associated with your venture can help with the investment process and open even more doors for your company.
- Strategic planning: We’ll sit down with your team and make sure you are in the best possible market position and are adequately prepared for the challenges you will face along the way.
- Social Media/Outreach Strategy: Our team can help define and implement strategies to leverage the social web to promote your startup.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our primary focus is on ventures that bring remarkably novel products and services to the global marketplace. We typically work with pre-launch, recently launched and early-stage startups who are looking to beef up their team with experienced entrepreneurs and advisors, as well as funded startups who need access to our Rolodex and expertise. Your startup must have a direct path to revenue. We are believers that startups should have a solid model in place to begin cash flow early on to give it the best chance of success.
We’re looking for the best and the brightest from around the country and do not have a bias on geographic location, although we tend to do the most business in Arizona, California and Texas.
