HowTo Venture

Enabling high-achieving teams

About

We believe in entrepreneurship and the impact it can have. However, most start-ups fail or never realise their full potential. One of the main reasons: not having the right team & organizational set-up.

Therefore, we accompany start-ups in the first transition phase from team to organization (between 15-40 employees) to set up their internal organization in such a way that it enables them to achieve their growth and revenue targets.

We work on 4 main topics:

Leadership (leadership style, decision making, delegation, conflict management, management systems like OKR, MBO etc.)
Motivation (focus on purpose, mastery and independence)
Organization (organizational structure, team composition, management levels and ranges, role clarity)
Corporate Culture

We are active as consultants and business coaches.

Approach

Our approach is hands-on and focused on making you a more impactful leader. Working on your highest points of leverage involves doubling down on your strengths, but also confronting the uncomfortable and uncovering opportunities for growth.

Think of it as having a personal trainer who is dedicated to helping you realize your greatest entrepreneurial aspirations. Just like a personal trainer would do, this comes with both celebrating successes and providing candid feedback. With working on the bigger picture and the important details. With specific instructions and finding the fitting approach for you.

And as you know from your day-to-day work, as rewarding as this journey can be, it can also be very challenging. That is why we are not only your coach, but also your sparring partner and sounding board. Committed to helping you achieve your wildest dreams.
