10X Growth and Non-Dilutive

Next Stage's unique business model offers a Founder a 48-month pathway to 10X Enterprise Value and achieving their Life Changing Target (LCT), all while keeping 100% of your Equity.

Visionary Empowerment

Our Proven Process

Your Life Changing Target

What number, in 48-months, would fulfill your dreams? Identifying this number lays out the organizational structure and cash required over the next 48 months of work.

Your Unique Value Proposition

Using customer questionnaires and our proprietary AI scripts, we refine your Value Proposition. We then help you test this with prospects before we finalize it.

Organizational Design

Based on your Life Changing Target your Operating Partner will assist in defining the organizational stucture required. We then leverage our global industry connections to help identify talent.

Go-To-Market Strategy

Once the Unique Value Proposition is refined, your Operating Partner will assist in introductions to our 35 Million contacts on LinkedIn. This accelerates your first 12-months of growth by 100%.

Financial Partners Network

Once your LCT and GTM strategies are in place, most Founders require some level of new cash to finance growth. Your Operating Partner will introduce you to our global network of Investment Partners.

Scorecard and Accountability

The final step of the methodology is to create a Scorecard for both Annual and Quarterly performance. Your Operating Partner will work with you to hold you accountable for achieving your LCT.
