What is the ideal stage for a startup to work with Veloce?
The ideal time is when you have achieved product-market fit and are ready to scale systematically. This typically happens at the late-Seed or Series A stage. However, we also engage with earlier-stage companies to help them build a solid foundation for future growth. Our key requirement is a dedicated founding team with high ambition.
How is Veloce different from other consulting firms?
We are not traditional consultants; we are growth partners. Our team consists of former founders and operators who provide hands-on support. We don't just deliver a strategy deck and leave; we work alongside your team to implement it, measure results, and iterate. Our success is directly tied to yours.
What is your approach to international expansion?
We use a data-driven framework to identify and prioritize the most promising international markets for your specific product. Our approach covers market analysis, localization strategy, regulatory compliance, and building a local go-to-market team. With our base in Milan, we have a particularly strong expertise in the European market.
How long is a typical engagement?
Project-based engagements, like developing a go-to-market strategy, typically last 2-3 months. Our retainer-based partnerships are designed for the longer term, usually starting with a 6-month commitment, to allow us enough time to implement strategies and demonstrate measurable impact on your growth trajectory.
Do you offer fundraising support?
Yes. While we are not a fund ourselves, we help prepare our partners for successful fundraising rounds. This includes refining your pitch deck, building a robust financial model, identifying and connecting you with relevant investors from our network, and preparing you for due diligence processes.
What kind of access will we have to your team?
Our engagement models are designed for close collaboration. You will have a dedicated point of contact and regular strategy sessions with our senior partners. We use shared communication channels like Slack for real-time interaction, ensuring you always have access to the expertise you need when you need it.
