How Peak Road Ventures Helps Entrepreneurs Scale

The Challenge: Growth Without the Guesswork

Entrepreneurs are visionaries. But turning that vision into a thriving business requires more than just ambition—it takes the right strategy, connections, and execution. Too often, startups burn through capital before they gain traction, or they struggle to break into key markets without the right support.

At Peak Road Ventures, we understand these challenges because we’ve been there. That’s why we offer three flexible partnership models to help businesses grow in a way that makes sense for them.

Advisor-for-Equity
Your Trusted Co-Pilot on the Journey

For entrepreneurs who need guidance at the highest levels, we offer board advisory services in exchange for equity. Whether it’s navigating investor relations, refining go-to-market strategies, or scaling operations, we provide the strategic insights that help you avoid costly mistakes and maximize your company’s value.

🔹Ideal for: Founders looking for senior-level expertise and long-term strategic partnerships.

📌 Analogy: Imagine having a seasoned mountain guide on your expedition. You’re still making the climb, but with an experienced partner advising you on the best route, avoiding pitfalls, and ensuring you reach the summit safely.

Sales Contingency
Growth Without the Gamble

If your biggest challenge is generating sales, we’ll build and execute a revenue strategy—and we only win when you do. Our team taps into our network, refines your messaging, and drives customer acquisition, earning a percentage of the revenue we generate for you.

🔹 Ideal for: companies ready to scale bu lacking the internal resources to execute high-impact sales/marketing or fundraising strategies.

📌 Analogy: Consider us your championship-winning sports agent. We only get paid when we get you on the field and close the deals that grow your revenue.

Work-for-Equity
Investing Sweat to Build Your Dream

If you need strategic expertise but want to preserve your cash flow, this model allows us to exchange part of our fee for equity. We roll up our sleeves and execute, bringing our expertise in sales, marketing, operations, and product development to drive measurable results.

🔹 Ideal for: startups looking for hands-on support without a massive upfront investment.

📌 Analogy: Think of us as the master home renovators who see the potential in your fixer-upper. Instead of charging the full price upfront, we put in the labor and materials, taking partial payment in ownership, knowing that once the project is complete, it will be worth far more than what we started with.

For sales & marketing contingency partnerships, we only succeed when you do. Our commitment is to deliver high-impact strategies that drive measurable progress.

Flexibility is built into our approach. If your goals shift, we reassess and refine the strategy to ensure continued alignment with your growth trajectory.

We prioritize open communication and data-driven decision-making. If a disagreement arises, we align through objective analysis and mutual goal setting to ensure the best outcome. When we have equity positions, they are a minority position, so at the end of the day, founders have the final say in what direction the company takes.

Our agreements include flexible terms that allow you to adjust our level of involvement as your needs evolve, ensuring you get the right level of support at every stage.

We conduct a review before the end of the initial term to assess impact and future needs. If an extension makes sense, we refine our approach and set new targets for the next phase which is noted in an addendum to any existing agreement.

The most common challenges include scaling too quickly or refining operational processes. We address these with proactive planning, strategic adjustments, and ongoing mentorship. Additionally, some businesses need assistance with subsequent funding rounds. In those cases we may be able to help or connect founders with more sophisticated funding organizations.
