HOW CUVO WORKS
We partner with early stage companies to implement a proven playbook that reduces risk and increases valuation.
Reduce risk
No one needs to tell you that risk is prevalent in early stage companies. We help by teaching a proven way to operate the company, building a people strategy that creates an unstoppable culture and coaching the founder(s) to be his/her best.
Increase valuation
Let’s face it: Valuation matters. And the factors that drive valuation really matter. We help by guiding a capitalization strategy, ensuring smooth due diligence processes and helping the leadership team execute the vision. Think of us as partners in crime.
We know it’s lonely at the top. That’s why every CEO needs a safe place to examine their doubts, reconnect with their purpose and talk through problems in confidence. Go from great founder to great CEO.
