board advisory
strategic counsel
for Founders & ceos
Growth Avenue provides board-level guidance for leaders navigating the hardest stages of growth. We sit on your side of the table - impartial, operator-led, and fully aligned to your company’s goals. Our role is to help you scale with confidence, protect your leverage, and prepare for the exit you envision.
What we do
As advisors, we bring clarity and conviction to the decisions that matter most:
CEO & Board Advisory – board-level counsel, executive alignment, and strategic clarity
Capital & Finance – angel and venture fundraising, financial modeling, exit readiness
Brand & Growth – positioning, messaging, partnerships, AWS optimization
People & Performance – executive compensation, incentive design, effective hiring
Market Expansion – contract negotiations, enterprise deals, public sector entry
Every engagement is tailored - no playbooks, no handoffs. We’ve helped CEOs avoid costly mistakes, capture market timing, and accelerate valuations.
How We Work
Our advisory model is built for founders who need more than generic playbooks. We tailor each engagement to the unique stage, pressures, and opportunities of your business:
Plant – Early-stage validation, entity formation, capital planning, and first key hires. We help you establish the foundation so growth doesn’t outpace structure.
Grow – Scaling revenue, teams, channels, and operations while aligning comp plans and grooming leaders. We focus on removing friction so you can accelerate without breaking.
Exit – Preparing for liquidity with financial modeling, governance, and board-level counsel. From buyer diligence to board prep, we ensure you’re positioned for maximum leverage.
Engagements are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice, led directly by partners - giving you both flexibility and depth with real-time guidance from seasoned operators who know the terrain because we’ve lived it.
Why It Works
Markets move fast - AI breakthroughs, capital cycles, supply chain shocks. The world no longer follows a predictable playbook. Too many growth strategies fail because they rely on yesterday’s answers to today’s problems.
At Growth Avenue, we focus on evergreen strategies that adapt in real time. With 30+ years of operator experience across exits, fundraising, and scaling to nine figures, we help CEOs see around corners, avoid pitfalls, and capture opportunities before competitors do.
The real value is perspective. We’ve sat in that same seat, so we know which signals matter and where to press harder.
The result is peace of mind - knowing you have a seasoned, impartial advisory team fully aligned with your company’s goals. It means faster, clearer decisions, fewer costly mistakes, and more confidence as you lead your company into what’s next.
