Early-Stage Growth
Sean created a formula for success. For entrepreneurs, building an idea into a product or service is just the beginning. Having access to investment capital is important, too, but a critical element to the real success of any early-stage company is being able to get advice and help from professionals.
Sean’s alchemy for investment includes a mix of capital and expertise. He looks for strong companies that have innovative products or services and builds relationships with the people he’s investing in. He reaches out to his vast network – professionals from his own company, experts at other companies he’s invested in, community leaders and beyond – to bring the right mix of knowledge to each project.
Through his network, Sean is able to deliver a full complement of assistance to early stage startups that helps them build infrastructure – from operations, legal teams, and marketing stacks, to processes that foster scale, value, and profitability. Designing throughput systems that generate revenue with little maintenance, Sean also offers the know-how and muscle of his own a top-tier internet marketing organization to ensure ongoing success.
Putting the Venture in VC
In the past 15 years, Sean has brought more than 50 companies to full profitability. He has grown his own small empire of tech-based firms (see below), and a full-fledged marketing agency. He credits his early insight for the need for systems and scale for every success he’s had, but also credits the community of experts who put in valuable time and give advice freely.
For Sean, VC as an adventure every day. An opportunity to reach back and lift up companies when they need it most, infusing capital, ideas, and enthusiasm to young startups just as they are vulnerable, but poised for growth.
