About Us

On the Highest Branches Can Be Found the Sweetest Rewards

When you're passionate—truly passionate—about your idea, your product, your business, you want partners who share that passion.

Our Raison D'être

Great ideas are born all the time, but few ever see the light of day. As entrepreneurs, we've loved the process of nurturing an idea, and introducing it to the world. Now, as consultants, we have the opportunity to partner with founders and startup ventures to ensure that their innovations generate the attention—and the revenue—they deserve.

We know that creativity and entrepreneurship can be lonely. All those great ideas bouncing around in your head need to be shared, challenged, and sharpened; to do that, you need an experienced partner you can trust. We want to be that partner.

Giraffe are exceptional animals. They are elegant, yet pragmatic. They are tough (a mother giraffe drops her calf 6 ft. or more onto the hard savannah ground at birth!), yet gentle. They exist in a harsh and unforgiving world, yet live each day with grace and beauty.

Giraffe are collaborative. At the watering hole, while some are splayed rather awkwardly to as they reach down for a refreshing drink, the others stand tall, looking in every direction to protect them from ambush.

Giraffe support their community. Thanks to their height, the giraffe act as sort of an early-warning system to the other animals, alerting them to predators.

Giraffe don't settle for the low-hanging fruit, but rather leverage their natural talents to reach rewards that other animals can only dream of.

Giraffe are adapted to their environment. Gifted with long, nimble tongues, giraffe enjoy the leaves of the acacia tree, whose long, sharp thorns send most other animals looking for lesser, more easily-obtained treats.

If you love the giraffe, as we do, please consider a gift to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, which is doing remarkable and innovative work in the areas of conservation and management of giraffe in the wild.
