Corporate Strategy for Startups
Portfolio choices that compound.
Advisory and execution for founders building from seed to scale.
Why startups operators engage SAZ for corporate strategy.
Corporate strategy at SAZ focuses on the highest-leverage choices a company makes: portfolio, capital allocation, and capability bets. We work with CEOs, boards, and ownership groups to set the corporate-level strategy that compounds over years, not quarters.
Startups need senior operators, not pitch coaches. SAZ partners with founders on positioning, GTM, pricing, hiring, and capital — the work that decides whether you become a real company.
What startups operators get from corporate strategy.
A defensible portfolio strategy with explicit invest / hold / divest calls
A capital allocation framework tied to strategic return thresholds
A 3–5 year corporate plan board members can defend
Clear capability bets and build-vs-buy logic
