“We left the founders in too long.”

“We can’t seem to get to the next level.”

“Management loves the product but not the customers.”

“We didn’t see them coming.”

“We have great technology but no customers.”

“We don’t want to run dad’s business.”

“We don’t have time.”

“We’re running out of money.”

For investors, business owners, and boards with problems like these, Lone Mountain Associates can help.

Lone Mountain Associates provides interim management and strategic consulting to organizations in transition. Working on projects from a few days up to 36 months in duration, Lone Mountain Associates leads organizational transitions, transformations, and turnarounds, to provide a repositioned basis for future growth. LMA takes on CEO responsibilities to identify problems, formulate strategies, and execute them.

Lone Mountain Associates also organizes management teams for start up companies. Often entrepreneurs are inventors and engineers, with little experience or interest in the “business” aspects of building a profitable enterprise. LMA can fill the role of start up CEO, with a mandate to develop an effective, experienced management team that will turn the new idea into a real business.

Lone Mountain Associates also provides strategic advice to investors, owners, board members, and heirs of organizations entering or already in transition.

OUTCOMES are what matter to organizations in transition or a start up. To position its clients for future growth, Lone Mountain Associates works with business owners, board members, and staff to:

• Stabilize the company’s financial condition.
• Enable the company to raise new debt or equity.
• Redefine markets.
• Reposition products.
• Reshape its organization.
• Reassess alternative investor exit strategies.

URGENCY is required. Lone Mountain Associates’ clients usually do not have the luxury of time. The situation, if not already critical, is getting close to being so. If actions are not taken with a sense of urgency, then all previous investment--of capital, energy, and intelligence—as well as the great idea, technology or legacy, risk being dissipated.

Lone Mountain Associates provides executive leadership to make a transition happen. We have the skills to address the issues of transition and to prepare an organization for leadership that can take it strongly into its markets. Our expertise lies not in particular technologies, products, or markets, but in the design and implementation of transition strategies that move an organization from one place and direction to other, more productive, destinations and pathways.

If your company or portfolio investment property needs to make a transition happen or if you are a start up investor or entrepreneur, please contact us at:
