The traditional partnership structure of venture capital firms can pose unique challenges in achieving maximum individual and group effectiveness. Partnership teams are tasked to map strategies; make critical investment decisions; and track progress of investments drawing principally on their own talents, instincts, and insights as individual professionals.

The absence of designated singular leaders such as those found in hierarchical organizations makes it difficult to address critical internal organizational and behavioral issues such as interpersonal communication, open feedback exchange, and assessment of individual partner performance.

In response to these organizational development needs, Nofsinger Strayer Consulting has developed a set of consulting services especially geared to venture and private equity partnerships.

Nofsinger Strayer helps you choose the right companies by providing insightful and accurate assessments of CEOs and executives. Our proprietary Management Audit assesses the current skills, leadership style, and scaling potential of key players to determine fit with the unique requirements of the business model.

Early-stage companies are charged with the impossible: to create a viable business under stressful conditions and with few resources and inexperienced leaders. Nofsinger Strayer helps VCs navigate the challenges facing their portfolio companies by developing the CEO, building the management team, managing rapid growth, and creating an effective board. We have worked successfully with hundreds of early-stage companies.
