Monolith Can Help
Monolith Capital was formed with the sole purpose of helping early stage companies solidify their business models, determine solid paths to revenue and earnings growth, and execute on those plans through a combination of strategic advisory and capital funding alternatives.
Strategic Advisory is a key value-add that Monolith provides to its clients. Emerging and startup companies generally have one opportunity to raise Series A capital in the market. Monolith helps its clients significantly improve their chances of business and funding success by jointly developing strategy and execution plans that are both rigorous and achievable.
Strategic Advisory is a complex, methodical, research-based process that often requires significant time to complete. However, Monolith works closely with its clients and reviews progress with the team every week during the process. The company and its key stakeholders are involved in every step of the process and at the end have an actionable plan against which to execute.
Monolith’s engagements typically focus on:
- Market opportunity
- Capabilities review
- Competitor assessment
- Client needs assessment
- Strategy reviews
- Go-to-market strategies
- Product and market distribution analyses
- Revenue acceleration strategies
- Defensibility strategy
- Merger and acquisition growth strategies
- International expansion strategies
- Financing strategies
- Detailed execution plans
- Exit strategies
Once the strategy and execution plans are developed, Monolith works with the entrepreneur to create and/or refine the business plan and model. Monolith simultaneously conducts a thorough financial valuation of the company based on future revenues and cash flows and determines the capital need.
Venture Funding is the other key component in Monolith Capital’s value proposition to entrepreneurs and early-stage companies. Monolith helps the entrepreneur find the most advantageous arrangement to meet its capital needs, utilizing its network to provide sources that drive value-add partnerships and customer contracts. Leveraging a pledged fund base of high net worth individuals, angel investors and institutional investors, Monolith provides access to the capital needed to execute on the company’s strategic plan.
Monolith’s philosophy regarding a capital funding is to find only synergistic relationships whereby both parties benefit using a pledged capital base to invest in companies where they bring more than just capital, they bring access to customers, suppliers and/or partners.
Additionally, Monolith utilizes its existing relationships with banks, hedge funds and mezzanine debt providers to secure debt (when appropriate) to assist in the company’s growth.
Post engagement, Monolith continues to add value as an active member of the Board of Directors, maintaining regular contact with a company’s CEO or President to help execute the strategic plan and maintain a unique and compelling competitive advantage in the marketplace.
