The Solvation Core™
Innovations, Inventions, Platforms and Structures, by Solvation™
Solvation’s mission is to turn initiatives and ventures that are incomplete, often lack experienced and effective leadership, are sputtering, requiring re-invention or otherwise uncompelling, into successful and sustainable businesses. Examples of ventures that are not yet ready for the market include those in the idea, startups and growth, as well as turn-around stages, or mergers or acquisitions.
Solvation uses “SuccessMakers” experienced advisors, coupled with our proprietary business-building platformed-system that can quickly and effectively turn such businesses into fundable and ongoing concerns. This business-building system is , in part , empowered by a coordinated team of interdisciplinary experts who work together to help solve existing but surmountable problems that have previously handicapped initiatives from succeeding.
Solvation’s proprietary system allows all contributing parties to safely work in a coordinated and effective manner, while knowing they will get appropriate compensation when an initiative has revenues, investors, or other types of financing.
A partial list of core contributions provided by Solvation™ includes: fund syndication and funding; leadership, senior and general management; engineering and technology; marketing, business development and B2B sales; legal project management, lawyer-selection services; executive recruiting, each supported by SuccessMakers’ underlying administration and operations, both of which scale globally.
Advisory Team
Solvation’s team of advisors and consultants are selected for their expertise and work together closely to minimize risks and maximize the likelihood of success of each initiative. Examples of accomplishments by a few team members include: doing a $50 million exit, being a CMO VP of Marketing for multi-billion dollar companies, completing IT projects for Fortune 100 to Fortune 500 companies, starting a new division of one of the world’s largest financial services companies, co-founding a bank, and being accepted into a prestigious “incubator”. Several are professors at world class institutions and one founded a Biomedical Engineering Department.
