Why Choose Cayenne? Nine Great Reasons!

Get Investors to Notice

Most entrepreneurs can’t get investors to return their calls A majority of our clients secure meetings with potential funders Our team’s efforts have contributed to over $4 3 billion in financing!

Get it Right the First Time

Funding is a binary event: either you succeed or you fail If you fail, most investors won’t give you a second glance Why take chances? Deal directly with your senior business plan consultant from Day One – not a commissioned salesperson who will hand you off to a junior writer Personal relationships matter, and you need to know exactly who you’re dealing with

We know what works, and, more importantly, what doesn’t A single mistake can get render your plan unfundable We wrote the original and often-cited article on Why Business Plans Don’t Get Funded

• Why Business Plans Don’t Get Funded

Work With True Experts

We’ve walked in your shoes and we understand what you’re going through Many of us have advanced degrees from institutions like Harvard, Wharton, CalTech, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, Yale, Dartmouth, MIT, and Chicago

Save Money - Really!

We’re not cheap, but about half of our clients came to us after a business plan prepared by a less qualified business plan consultant did not work out Why not get it right the first time and save money?

Develop a Winning Strategy

Most so-called “business plan consultants” take whatever you tell them and type it into software We go much deeper and help develop a viable strategy for success, which we then express in a compelling business plan

We don’t stop when the business plan is complete We have a talented team ready to help you implement it as well, either on a retained basis as interim members of your founding team or on a project basis, as needed

What Do Our Clients Say?

Aaron at Cayenne had my best interest from start to finish He took the time to understand my business, identify the problem areas and make specific recommendations on both the operations and finances They provided us a solid assessment of our business and a turnaround plan to restructure the company He also worked with us to refer a new financing source to help recapitalize the business and get us back on the right track

The materials that Cayenne created for us enabled us to ultimately close several large rounds of financing and reach where we are today

Cayenne’s financial model was a critical tool in our fundraising process It helped us understand the financial management and operational challenges we would face as a start-up At the same time, it allowed us to communicate to our investors that we clearly understood those challenges and had thought them through We are very pleased with Cayenne’s services

Jennifer showed her quick adaptation and the ability to facilitate and assist in defining our product offerings… Calls and emails were returned immediately The ability to meet our timeline while demonstrating flexibility with our changing needs is a real testament to your staff… We were thoroughly pleased with all components of this collaborative effort The highly polished plan allowed us to fast track our financing… Cayenne helped our company craft an incredible business plan and pro-forma financials I consider [the consultant] to be the very best all-round business planning specialist I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my ten years as a business owner I have recommended him to other CEOs growing their businesses

We were amazed by how little effort was required on our part to have Cayenne prepare these materials We exchanged a few phone calls and e-mails, and they handled the rest The results were clear, professional, and persuasive, and the investors and advisors who have seen the materials loved them They know what investors want, and they delivered
