Jazz Ventures provides a variety of business consulting services and for the past 12 years, the firm has focused on start-ups, turnarounds, emerging and growing small companies. Developing a “roadmap” is often the most critical issue facing small and growing companies. Many desire to raise money and have never worked with financial resources and need to properly articulate their strategic plan, develop sales and marketing strategies, review their brand and market positioning, and create their financial pro-formas. Properly describing market opportunities, selling strategies and how a company will win – with valid assumptions and verifiable market data is key to what we help companies with. Start-ups, small companies, and those poised for growth often don’t have the resources to develop strategies, plans, financial presentations, PR strategies or presentations for shareholders, boards or banks.

Company Profile

Providing business expertise to companies is the simple definition. We bring a different kind of expertise to our clients. We listen and work together to create alternative solutions before putting an execution plan in place. In many cases, there are always different ways to view a problem or challenge. Opportunities can be unveiled when all the issues are discussed. We work with a variety of companies – from start-ups, to emerging and growing companies.

We have provided turnaround management and, when necessary, brought appropriate professional resources in to help. Turnarounds pose a unique set of challenges and we will work with you and your financial and legal representatives to help you understand your options. Putting a team in place to help execute a turnaround is often a critical part of the solution.

Our work often starts with a business overview – or an audit. Knowing a client’s “current state of affairs” and its history is critical information. Combined with understanding your market and updating a body of ‘core market research’ all come together to help create a new or updated business and financial plan – that becomes a “blueprint” for the future of your business. Getting arms around situations provides great value to clients. We develop a partnering relationship; we don’t simply sell a product or service. We help you think creatively and serve as an advisor and member of your team. It’s what we do best.
