ABOUT US
TECHTURN CONSULTING
Techturn Consulting is focused on your B2B technology company's long term success, whether a startup, early or growth-stage company. If your company is just getting off the ground, needs to pivot or mapping out exit strategies, we can help.
As a tech CEO, senior leader or an investor in an early to growth-stage technology company, you understand that the "individual acts of courage" that allowed you to get the business off the ground are not necessarily the same qualities that allow your company to ultimately achieve success. Your vision must be continually refined and that vision must evolve into efficient execution for success.
At TechTurn Consulting, we look to become your trusted partner, helping you to visualize the path to success, then execute to achieve that success. We offer in-depth, hands-on consultative and mentoring support to help ensure your success. Additionally, we provide tech CEO, marketing and product management mentoring to help early to growth-stage tech companies grow to the next level.
