New Ventures
Nobska Group creates, builds, and accelerates the success of early stage
ventures.
We are particularly focused upon growth opportunities in Information &
Communication Technologies, Health Care & Life Sciences, and Business Process
Outsourcing.
We partner with talented entrepreneurs and management teams at the earliest
stages of formation, product development, commercial introduction, and ongoing
growth.
Nobska Group invests significant management resources and intellectual capital
as a “founder” of new businesses and invests financial capital through our
affiliate Nobska Ventures.
Nobska’s involvement accelerates the path to market, through disciplined
prioritization of resources and a large network of managers and advisors who
swiftly leverage our portfolio company’s capabilities and connections.
Success vs. Disappointment
Most new ventures fail, even those with novel business ideas, terrific
technology, and proven management teams. Some fail totally, others simply don’t
live up to their founders’ or investors’ expectations.
While occasionally new companies fall short due to external factors beyond their
control, the primary differentiator between those who succeed and those who
don’t is most often a matter of clear strategic focus and sufficient resources
to execute against an inherently limited window of opportunity in which to
achieve initial success and momentum.
Nobska provides the aid and leverage new companies need most to achieve and
maintain essential momentum. We:
1. Prioritize the team’s focus on critical immediate objectives;
2. Develop and articulate a unique, core customer value proposition;
3. Create a winning business model and strategic plan;
4. Serve as interim senior management in the pre-capital period;
5. Attract key additional management team members;
6. Build effective Advisory Boards and Boards of Directors;
7. Secure legal, accounting, and other professional services at least cost;
8. Develop initial customer validation of value proposition;
9. Initiate and negotiate transformational strategic partnerships;
10. Raise capital with minimal diversion of management time.
Through this approach, we help high growth potential companies to focus on their core customer value proposition, move swiftly through the commercialization process, and achieve optimal market success.
Our disciplined focus on creating sustainable competitive advantage, coupled with highly practical, hands-on involvement with each Nobska portfolio company increases the probability, magnitude and speed of out-sized financial success.
