Erik Oberholtzer has developed a process to guide entrepreneurs through the various phases of growth.
His work with founders begins with a series of questions to understand where the brand/ entrepreneur are today. And most importantly set the strategic priorities forward to move the brand from where it is today to the visionary destination in the far off tomorrow.
Erik works directly with the founder/s to help navigate the many obstacles anyone will face while building a company. He draws from his own experience building Tender Greens from concept to $200m exit along with insights from other brands he has worked with. As appropriate, Erik may assist in product development, team development, market differentiation and systems refinement to support growth.
As a founder himself, Erik can empathize with the emotional pressure of growing a business. Founder’s therapy can serve as a powerful resource at times when one is feeling alone and overwhelmed.
The scope of each brand is unique to the circumstances. Whether one needs a pitch deck for investors or a long-term coach to develop the leadership attributes necessary to succeed at scale.
