Our goal at Bronze Valley has always been to make bold ideas possible by empowering innovators and entrepreneurs. Our belief is that that’s simply not possible if we’re investing capital. Access to resources, knowledge, and industry experts is critical. That’s why our VentureLab model is instrumental in supporting entrepreneurs, and why we frame our approach as a “holistic” venture capital solution.
Our founders are visionaries with big ideas. But they may not also be engineers, legal experts, or accountants…nor do they have to be. Per entrepreneurial coach Dan Sullivan, success is often dependent on determining ‘who’ can help solve a problem or fill a gap, and not necessarily ‘how.’
Our C-suite Advisory Service was built with just that in mind – providing founders the resources needed to approach any business challenge with a direct connection to experts who can not only provide advice but also jump right in to help solve their problems – free of charge. Resource-strapped startups can’t always afford costly legal services, for example, but they certainly need legal counsel to protect their IP and create contracts.
Following feedback received from our founders, we established this service in 2022 to fit the specific needs of startups. Now, founders who have received investment from Bronze Valley gain access to:
- A vetted and curated database of nearly 30 providers
- Executive-level services in Legal, Design (UI/UX), Accounting, Strategy, Software Engineering, Product, Wellness and more
- Access to 50 hours of service
A few of our dedicated advisors include companies like:
- LunarLab, a product strategy and design studio led by Elizabeth Anderson and Kelli Lucas. The firm helps companies of all sizes turn their biggest software challenges into their proudest achievements through product strategy, UX and UI design, project management, and user research. As a woman-owned small business and a Certified B Corporation, they are also invested in ensuring that their work achieves positive social and environmental impact.
- Williamson LLC, legal counsel provided by Abraham J. Williamson. As a seasoned corporate attorney with experience at leading law firms and as a startup founder himself, Williamson understands the challenges faced by early-stage ventures. The practice focuses on minimizing legal roadblocks and maximizing venture capital financings, team building, and strategic commercial agreements. Their collaborative approach and tech-enabled practice ensures a smooth journey from ideation to successful exit.
- The CEO Strategy, is focused on executive coaching, management training, and leadership development led by Max Polec. Max brings over a decade of experience running, growing, supporting, and consulting with startup businesses and provides executive coaching, management training, and leadership development services.
We work hard to provide our founders with value-added resources beyond capital and are proud to have facilitated over 1,500 hours of services already! Being able to see the outcomes of this work (like Pay4Me's recent website rebrand, for example) is always rewarding and exciting, and we look forward to the progress our companies will continue to achieve alongside our partners.
