White Space Widgets

Our "Consulting Widgets" are highly focused, modular consulting engagements that address the specific challenges faced by start-ups in a fast-paced, collaborative and affordable workshop and work session format. Priced between $1,000 and $5,000 and lasting from 1 to 4 days, our widgets provide exceptional value creation  at an affordable price. Work with White Space Consultants on widgets that address:

• The Elevator Pitch Widget - Your Elevator pitch is the most powerful weapon in your strategy. A well crafted elevator pitch provides the succinct, coherent foundation for your value proposition, mantra and compelling differentiation.A White Space consultant and your team work together in a highly interactive session to develop the killer elevator pitch and more. The output of the work session yields not only a powerful compelling elevator pitch, but all the strategic thinking underpinning the why and wherefore involved.

• The Funding Presentation Widget - Ever wonder where those "back of the napkin" pitches that land huge funding opportunities come from? Well, a lot of them have come directly from a single hard-hitting, powerful work session that defines the opportunity your company faces so compellingly that investors can't say no. We've built funding pitches for dozens and dozens of companies that have gone on to become highly fundable successes.

• The Tune-Up Widget - Not having the succcess you want with your funding pitch? We can work with you to tune your funding pitch for success. A one day, highly interactive review and re-write that will improve your chances of getting the key points across to get that second meeting.
  

• The Funding Strategy Widget - Who should provide funding for your start-up? Should you bootstrap, leverage, recruit angels or get Venture Capital. Our Funding Strategy Widget will answer all your questions and develop a strategy with you for what type of funding and what funders will be most effective for your unique situation. Work with us to create a funding strategy that clearly identifies your funding goals, requirements and the funding sources best matched to meeting your objectives.

• The Traction Widget - Getting initial traction is one of the greatest challenges faced by any start-up, and the question most feared in funding pitches. We've developed traction strategies ranging from web-based buzz, to LOIs, to word of mouth and stickers on every phone pole. We're not afraid to be wildly creative. Your team and our consultants will come up with the answer, even if the product's not quite soup yet. You bring the concept, we'll bring the traction.

• The Sales Pitch Widget - Your initial sales pitch can make the difference between rapidly gaining traction and struggling to get those first, critical customers. We've helped dozens of companies translate their strategies and unique differentiation into sales pitches that present the most compelling reasons to buy possible.
