C-Cubed Solutions

Time is of the essence when you need to decide “what’s next” to grow your business. C-Cubed Solutions are cost-efficient holistic corporate development services designed to help growing companies develop plans, explore options and take action to achieve next level growth.  

C3 = Curiosity + Courage + Conviction

At every stage of a business, these are the values that will keep entrepreneurs forging ahead as they look for answers to “what’s next”? These core values guide our approach to every engagement. We will be curious about where the business is and where you want to take it. We will engage and challenge you to take big and small risks and we will have the courage to share the unvarnished truth and provide support to execute.  

We bring cross-functional and cross-cultural awareness, customer focused entrepreneurial mindset, and a bias to action that will accelerate the decision-making process. Working collaboratively with your team, we provide additional interim capacity to unlock opportunities to increase revenue and optimize eligibility for various financing options allowing you to begin execution before making the investment in full time staff.  

Blue curiosity

CURIOSITY

Every founder origin story begins with “curiosity” about either what could be or what should be available to address a pain point. Founders of companies as varied as Spanx and Canva created huge companies simply by spotting and seizing the opportunity to solve a problem for overlooked customer segments that were undervalued by existing businesses. 

Red Courage

COURAGE

Courage is deciding to do something that frightens you with no way of knowing the outcome.  Every step of the entrepreneurial journey is about taking risks, from taking the first  step to start a business, to making a decision to pivot, to listening to customer feedback to communicating with stakeholders.

Green Conviction

CONVICTION

Conviction is the fuel that keeps you going in the face of the many personal, business and moral challenges of growing a company.

Bespoke Solutions

Bespoke Solutions

Bespoke Solutions are designed to address a company’s specific challenges to execute on high priority initiatives to accelerate growth.  We work collaboratively with the internal team to focus on and define core deliverables and support execution on the specifics, rather than the generic. Bespoke Solutions may be project specific such as facilitating a strategic planning process or prioritizing and mapping growth opportunities for execution or longer term additional capacity to execute on a growth strategy.

Seedlings

The Seedlings Solution (TSS)

You must be ready to execute beyond a great idea to grow a business.

The Seedlings Solution is a customized program designed to create the space and provide additional capacity to accelerate the potential of an emerging business. TSS meets businesses where they are and provides actionable guidance on the key elements of growing a business from a life centered approach that begins with a holistic assessment of the core values that will drive the business from strategy, to operational execution priorities to developing and executing a roadmap to access growth capital.

What’s next?

    • Create a business model that better serves customers and society.
    • Address an overlooked or underserved customer segment.
