Many founders might be tempted to compare RevRoad’s offering to outsourcing services to a variety of agencies or hiring fractional team members. They may think, “I can get these same services through the market.” Those who pursue that path are bound to find that while market rates may be comparable, the value they receive from other service providers won’t come close to what RevRoad delivers. Here’s why:
- RevRoad does startups better than anyone
RevRoad’s team has a depth of startup-specific expertise that is almost impossible to replicate. We’ve collectively worked on hundreds of startups, and we know the Lean Startup framework inside and out. If you go to a standard agency or contractor, you might get services designed for large, established companies. But that approach can be the worst thing for an early-stage startup. RevRoad’s venture services team is highly skilled at navigating startup challenges and guiding you around common pitfalls.
- Integrated and aligned work cross all services
Founders who hire multiple service providers or agencies often find themselves dealing with fragmented strategies. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing, leading to a loss of strategic alignment. At RevRoad, you get all these services under one roof, delivered in a fully coordinated and collaborative manner. Our teams communicate constantly, align on the same strategic plan, and execute with a unified vision. This cross-functional collaboration ensures every service is rowing in the same direction toward a common goal.
- True alignment of incentives
Because we are compensated with equity rather than cash, we’re fully aligned with your long-term success. Unlike other service providers who are incentivized to keep the cash flow coming, our focus is on maximizing the value of your business. As equity owners, we’ll always steer you toward what’s right for your company, even if it’s the harder path.
- Member Benefits that extend beyond the program
The $250K of Venture Services doesn’t capture the additional value of RevRoad’s Member Benefits, which continue indefinitely even after your engagement with us ends. Through our network, we can connect you with the right investors, customers, key hires, and industry leaders—opportunities that can be transformational for your startup’s growth. These benefits can be worth even more than the core services we provide.
