Zane Tarence, Founders Advisors Testimonial

Zane Tarence is a Part­ner & Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of Founders Advi­sors, a merg­ers & acqui­si­tion firm serv­ing mid­dle-mar­ket com­pa­nies.  He shares his expe­ri­ence work­ing with CEOs he has referred to the Coach­ing Group.

I’m a huge evan­ge­list, net pro­mot­er, rav­ing fan of Vic­tor’s coach­ing groups. That is the best invest­ment of time and resources that I could ever have done. It is exact­ly what a CEO needs to do in order to cre­ate enter­prise val­ue.

I’ve referred many com­pa­nies to Vic­tor. What I hear after they’ve been in the pro­gram a year is: 1) “Wow, I was not edu­cat­ed.” And 2) “I did­n’t know how to put a plan in place that was actu­al­ly exe­cutable.”

I find that these coach­ing groups pro­vide a lev­el of account­abil­i­ty where you know oth­er entre­pre­neurs in your busi­ness, where you can say, “This is what I’m real­ly after.” Then you have a group to help you think through this, and then hold you account­able to tak­ing that action.

I love the refer­rals that Vic­tor gives me that come from his coach­ing groups because there’s a lev­el of sophis­ti­ca­tion that a lot of our founders don’t have. We found that the out­come with those com­pa­nies is a stan­dard devi­a­tion away from the mean of most com­pa­nies at their size and scale in the actu­al out­come of the process.

They’re ready, they’re pre­pared. I believe Vic­tor’s coach­ing pro­gram will deliv­er out­sized val­ue for own­ers and CEOs of soft­ware busi­ness­es.
