VENTURE CAPITAL & PRIVATE EQUITY ADVISORY

It is critical for venture companies to not only create a compelling vision, but to ensure that they have the resources appropriately in place and positioned to capitalize upon it.

Collaborating with Dr. Messina to evaluate current and potential portfolio companies, as benchmarked against such critical elements of business success as strength of management team, organizational structure and culture, value proposition, messaging and branding provides a unique advantage.

• Venture investors are given the ability to more completely analyze management teams, both as a means of vetting invest opportunities, and guiding execution strategy.

• Scaling Companies themselves receive insights as to where their strengths and weaknesses lie – again relative to their positioning and ultimate objectives.

• Relatedly, the human dynamics involved in Private Equity transactions and M&A deals are often a critical component to the success of the business. Dr. Messina partners with investors, boards, and leadership teams to ensure team integration, the right people in the right seats, optimal leadership, culture building, etc.

• Dr. Messina’s clients routinely avail themselves of her service for extended periods -- beyond the introductory evaluation cycle. In this way, they stand to potentially expand their growth and evolution, as new challenges and opportunities present themselves across the life cycle of corporate formation through monetization.
