About the practice
On both sidesof the table.
Our approach
Everyone at Something Companies is both an entrepreneur and a seasoned operator. We’ve worn all the hats that come with building a business, from winning work to delivering it.
A founder may need a sounding board before choosing a market. An operator may already know the market and need a way into the right conversation. We start by asking what decision needs to be made, who can make it, and what each party can bring.
Ways we work
- Strategic advisory
- Work through choices about positioning, growth priorities and the partners a business needs.
- Consulting
- Define a question, agree on a deliverable and work alongside the operating team.
- Referral and commission agreements
- Identify a relevant counterparty and agree up front on the introduction, follow-through and terms of compensation.
- Commercial partnerships
- Explore a channel or distribution relationship and define what each partner would contribute.
Within Something Companies
At Something Companies, the people building a business are accountable for how it operates. We bring that discipline to each commercial relationship by agreeing on responsibilities, economics and the decision each party is there to make.
