You have more options than you think 

Most small and early-stage technology companies can't afford to have a full stable of experienced engineering, marketing, product management, support, manufacturing, IT and sales executives.  The senior management you do have are often bogged down by the tyranny of the urgent and what needs to be done just to survive.  This makes it nearly impossible to step back and map out what is needed to take the company to the next level.  With a unique combination of technology, analytical, business and communication skills, we can help fill these gaps and present a range of creative options you may not have considered.  We can help take your company to the next level.

Recent Engagements

Entry Strategies

We are experts at identifying your core assets, creating targeted communications and connecting you with those who value them.  We can help you with strategies for capitalizing your company, especially outside the conventional venture capital route.  In many cases, VC money is not the best way to maximize your probability of success.  By properly structuring early financing, you can dramatically increase the range of successful outcomes for your company.

Interim Executive Management

Hannel Consulting can fill the gaps in your executive team while you're forming your company.  We can provide you with a versatile time shared executive who works as a partner in your business.  We only work with companies we truly believe in - and frequently work for a mix of equity, incentive and cash compensation.

Exit strategies

IPOs and headline-gathering corporate acquisitions represent a very small percentage of all profitable exit scenarios.  Many companies have hidden value - we are expert at identifying that value and finding those who need it.  We can find buyers, partners or licensees that you might not have ever considered and run your entire acquisition or licensing process.

Divestiture

Sometimes you have something of real value...but it just doesn't fit your future plans.  We can help you divest these assets, providing more capital to invest in your core business.

And more

We find that while working in a general advisory role, we are able to enhance our clients' team-building, product definition, customer targeting and messaging.
