Startup Port LLC Announces Closure After 17 Years of Service
After 17 years of dedicated service, Startup Port LLC will be closing its doors. Since our founding, we have been proud to provide founders and business owners with the resources, guidance, and insights needed to better understand and grow their businesses. This chapter marks the conclusion of a valued legacy—one built on supporting entrepreneurial success and fostering innovation. We are deeply grateful to all who have been part of our journey.
Our goal was to essentially eliminate reinventing the wheel
We aimed to assist business founders in avoiding redundant trial-and-error by leveraging the extensive expertise of our professional team, accumulated over decades of hands-on experience. By integrating this experiential knowledge with established, proven methodologies, we wanted to enable entrepreneurs to efficiently build and execute self-sustaining businesses—from inception to success—in a significantly reduced timeframe
How it all started
Everything started with a simple question almost ten years ago: “If incubators, accelerators and business consultants are so good, how come we have 75 to 90 percent startup business fail?”
From this simple question we deviced a platform based on creating a collaborative business ecosystem that provides the right true and tested support tools and solutions to entrepreneurs and business founders.
Startup Port was built by true entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs
Startup Port® provided venture development solutions for early-stage entrepreneurs and small businesses for over almost two decades. Our hybrid support platform was designed to create real impact and tangible execution value, with solid implementation.
We were a collective of “subject matter experts” passionate about seeing the business community thrive.
We realized that businesses must defy many number of odds to get to where they want to be. And to do that, they need crucial resources given by people who have already been in the “trenches” of the business world.
So, we offered a comprehensive process that goes from ideation to commercialization, spearheaded by people who understand business.
Our goal: Was to fill in the gaps startups and small businesses have in terms talent, skill, know-how and good connections.
We strongly believed there is No Need to Make Your Entrepreneurial Journey Alone. Collaboration is the Key!
Our startup ecosystem was thoughtfully designed to empower founders through close collaboration with experienced business leaders and access to the deep intellectual capital of our advisory network—delivering strategic value when it matters most: the early stages of building a business.
Our customized and proprietary startup methodology was designed with three simple core elements, designed to empower your business and create an environment for success. There is no ‘one” mystical template that suits and fixes all business models. You need to adapt to needs, wants and gaps.
- First, assessment of where your startup business is;
- Second, find where your startup’s gaps are;
- Third, execute your process with the help of professional subject matter experts in a timely manner.
Refine and repeat fast!
