Advisors Add Value at Every Growth Stage

1

Product Development

Refining your product or service is an ongoing process. For many, the process never ends. While working on your company non-stop, it is easy to become so familiar with it that you start to overlook opportunities and issues that will be apparent to others. Adding another set of eyes on your work, especially coming from a different perspective, is crucial to success. Advisors will help you identify the best components of your company as well as the parts that need work. 

2

Fundraising

When it's time to raise capital, knowing how to navigate through the process is essential to a positive outcome. Advisors will help you develop a fundraising strategy that includes an effective investor pitch, access to their network of investors, and in some cases, an investment from their own funds. Having an impressive board of advisors affiliated with your company adds instant credibility that will make you more attractive to outside investors.

3

Growth

Every CEO wants to see their company experience exponential growth. Strong connections and timely introductions is the edge you need to stay ahead of the curve. With 40% of Fortune 500 companies represented on our platform, our advisors have the experience to help you scale and grow, as well as, land those blue-chip deals you are seeking. Advisors will help you reach your aggressive goals while being realistic about the unavoidable risks.

4

Exit Strategy

While most of the joy and satisfaction of entrepreneurship comes from creating a company that matures into a viable business, nothing is quite as exciting as putting yourself in a position for a successful exit or public offering. With the world's largest and most experienced collection of active board members, The ExecRanks will connect you with the executive talent that has the ability to make these goals a tangible reality.

Case Study: How Fry Egg Used Advisors to Gain Thier Edge

COMPANY INFO

Client: Fry Egg

Industries: Fitness, Technology, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain

ABOUT FRY EGG

Fry Egg is a one-of-a-kind application that promotes healthy lifestyles throughout the world while also building a positive community and culture. Fry Egg incorporates blockchain and cryptocurrency technology into the business model using EGG Tokens. These utility tokens are given to users on the platform as a reward mechanism to encourage positive results for clients and coaches. EGG tokens can be used to purchase and promote programs, tip coaches for a job well done, tip users for accomplishments and to participate in giveaways and community events.

ACCELERATED GROWTH

Within two days of joining The ExecRanks, Fry Egg created a company profile, posted an advisory position opening, and was starting compiling candidates. After interviewing 40 candidates in under two weeks, Fry Egg selected and offered long-term advisory roles to 12 members of The ExecRanks. Six of the advisors are dedicated to Fry Egg’s business growth and development, while the other six are specifically focused on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

    “The ExecRanks introduced us to highly-qualified advisors from major brands in sports apparel, wearable tech, health insurance, government, blockchain, and cryptocurrency industries. Every field we need is represented in this group of advisors including sales, business development, operations, technology, and marketing,” said Fry Egg’s CEO Tristan Chaudry.


THE ADVISORY BOARD

Fry Egg’s advisory board is comprised of executives from Fortune 500 companies including adidas, CVS Pharmacy, Oracle, Puma, Merrill Lynch, and 20th Century Fox. Receiving strategic advice from these executives in all areas of the business, ranging from recruiting and marketing to financial modeling, is hugely helpful to Fry Egg’s young executive team.

    “Our advisors have been exceptional in presenting us with opportunities to grow and gain momentum in the marketplace,” says Tristan. “They’ve provided us with business advice, new contacts and connections, and partnerships with major brands like Garmin and Under Armour. We were even invited to speak at NASDAQ.”


Fry Egg is poised to disrupt the traditional gym membership experience with its modern approach to fitness training that aims to get more people eating right, working out, and most of all, reaching their fitness goals. Important next steps for Fry Egg are to work with their advisory board and focus on the business opportunities that will help educate and build awareness in the fitness and training communities.

    “I couldn’t be happier with the advisory board that I built using The ExecRanks. There isn’t a day that goes by that one of our advisors doesn’t reach out and ask how they can help,” says Tristan.
