What We Do

Grey Heron is a venture accelerator

Our clients range from pre-funded to mid-stage startups. Recent liquidity events include Extensity's IPO and the $380M acquisition of Supplybase by i2.

Founders, investors and board members engage us to:

Sharpen the focus of their business
Identify opportunities and expand their potential
Prepare for key milestones, including upcoming rounds of funding
Act as CEO co-pilots or interim execs
Build the management team
Incubate and develop early-stage concepts and companies
Help execute

We also accept board of director and board of advisor roles.

Our typical collaboration may have us develop or tune a company's business plan, identify core strategic issues, facilitate introductions to VCs and potential partners, help recruit the executive staff, and act as ongoing company advisors. We've helped more than 50 companies since 1993.

We believe in obsession with results, long-term relationships, and skin in the game. Our compensation is focused primarily on equity, coupled with a cash retainer.
