Creating Breakthrough Growth For Business

Victoria Porter CramerAt CXO Collective, we like how business mogul and investor, Warren Buffet, put it, “Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. “.  This collective was formed with great intention to bring together human and capital assets to buy, sell, and triple company profits in 18 months. How can we do this and how does that differ from other investments you may be considering? Most investment models are missing the business acumen needed to move a company and their profits to the next level through investing in human capital, the use of masterminding break through sessions, and actionable growth plans.  The collective is comprised of the talent to unlock the potential within these early-stage and developed businesses.

What we’ve found is that prominent management consultant, Peter Drucker, was right when he said, “The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity”.  Many of the entrepreneurs we’ve encountered have a desire to take their business to the next level or to even use their talents to move onto their next big idea, but they are seeking help, because they are lacking one of the following fundamentals to move them forward:

• Lack of Systems
• Lack of Talent
• Lack of Marketing
• Lack of Capital

Our collective participates actively in the relationship by leading and providing industry expertise & business acumen in the following ways:

• Conducting a profound due diligence process
• Leading Break Through Sessions (BTS) for actionable growth or exit
• Identifying necessary capital for unlocking the company potential
• Placing experienced leadership on the management team at the company
• Providing seasoned consultants for onsite or remote support

We believe that by making a commitment to these relationships, we invest our attention and energy in it more profoundly because we now experience ownership of that relationship. If you combine that level of intensity with the expertise and proven track records of our collective you unlock a powerful growth engine.

Our members & equity partners are all motivated by a desire to participate in one or all of the following ways:

• Deal Flow
• Capital Investing
• Industry Expertise

The CXO Collective model is set up to allow executives and entrepreneurs like you the flexibility to invest in a high growth environment by allowing for investments to be done with time (expertise), money, or both. “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success” – Henry Ford

We have synthesized global talent capable of incredible growth in any organization we choose to affect.  We will continue to choose wisely and we will make an impact.

If you would like to explore this further, we would welcome the conversation.  Please contact us at http://www.cxocollective.com/
