BIRCHMERE MANIFESTO
Ramping up a successful company is the hardest thing you’ll ever do. It is also the most rewarding and the most fun. We’ll team closely in this adventure, so here’s what you can expect from us:
- We believe that you – the entrepreneur – are the critical element of the venture economy. We are enablers of your dream. We exist to help you achieve your goals. We only succeed through your success.
- We believe in passion – single-minded drive and determination to show the world what’s possible.
- We believe in integrity – open and candid two-way communication. We’ll always give you the undiluted truth.
- We believe in accountability – of the entrepreneur to the investor, but also the other way around.
- We believe in flexibility – adapting to the changing realities of a fast-moving world. No great startup ever ends up looking exactly like it intended to on Day One.
- We believe in taking chances – make mistakes, but only once. We’ve been where you’re trying to go, so learn from our battle scars instead of suffering your own.
- We believe in hard work – vision is only the beginning.
- We believe in making your own luck – good fortune is the just and inevitable return to the skillful and diligent.
- We’re about the strategic stuff – business model evolution, critical hires, first customers, strategic planning, subsequent fundraising, investment banking. Here’s where you’ll make it or break it, and we’re right there beside you.
- We’re about the tactical stuff – office space and furnishings, information systems, legal and accounting resources, banking relations. These won’t make or break your company, but getting them right early lets you focus on what matters most.
If you’re up for it, so are we. We’re in it with you. |
