Startup companies

The key point is to control the action plan and the foreseen cash-burn in order to strengthen the company.

 

Support to the general manager :

The investor puts a lot of hopes and confidence on the executive team, but at the same time he knows that this team can make mistakes by lack of experience or lack of attention to the management. From the beginning, the investor wants to bring an external assistance through a support to the manager of the startup. The manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS helps him build an operational action plan, (after operational analysis or flash analysis) and a reliable and simple follow-up of the cash-burn.

 

Supervision :

A form of support to a company can be provided through supervision, without any direct intervention into the daily management. The manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS knows the investors needs and realities on one hand and has a strong operational experience on the other hand. Therefore, he is able to understand both parties in the negotiation and brings an important added-value to the relationship. In his mission of representation of the shareholders within the board of directors, he follows the development, brings personal advices to the executive and gives information to the shareholder.

The time devoted to this mission will be assessed with attention, taking into account the dimension of the company and the interests at stake.

A PROFESSIONAL ADMINISTRATOR, WITH AN OPERATIONAL POINT OF VIEW:
Within corporate supervisory boards, there are often specialists of the business and the market. However, we often forget that new companies tend to fail because of poor management, poor plans or improper use of people rather than a lack of understanding of the economic sector. It is recommended to introduce an operational specialist as a supervisor.
