“If your business is short of cash, the first place to look is at your sales productivity. Cash flow problems are a direct result of not generating enough revenue through sales. Therefore, they are actually a sales problem, not a cash flow problem. The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is a tendency to overestimate their ability to sell their product or service.”
– Tom Golisano, Founder of Paychex and philanthropist

Raise Capital With Confidence
Traction speaks louder than words and pitch decks.
The Revenue Accelerator at Golisano Institute will help you attract investors because it helps you create exactly what investors are looking for: real revenue results and a tangible get-to-market strategy that scales with capital.
“We were able to build more conviction around the startup’s GTM plans since GrowthX worked closely with the company. Additionally, GrowthX was instrumental in helping our investment team vet founder self-awareness and willingness to source and act upon feedback. This assistance definitely helped de-risk some of the main questions that are commonplace with early-stage companies.”
– Brian Dixon, Kapor Capital
