  3. Lack of alignment of team. Overwhelmed.
  4. Financially struggling with margins, profit, and recurring revenue
  5. Not clear what to do next with new markets and/or products

  7. Difficulty recruiting top team members, or they do not stay long
 
THE SOLUTION: A Strategic Planning Process with over 50 tools
  1. Get total alignment, trust, and clarity using a collaborative and structured process that allows team members to participate and understand, and therefore own the plan. 
  2. Raise capital at much higher prices because the growth rate (P/E and PEG), market size (TAM), and barriers to entry are increased.
  3. Expand the market of potential investors and top employees by showing a vision with a higher exit value.
  4. Spark an upward spiral and a self-fulfilling prophecy of success.

More About Us

WHAT IS AIRTIGHT MANAGEMENT?

AirTight Management is the world’s most comprehensive Leadership Operating System (LO/S) developed over two decades curating the best systems for scaling.

And of course, to grow you need capital and a quality team.  You can build a tiny house alone but to build a skyscraper you’ll need lots of help.

There is no one, ever, that did not need help to figure all this out! The first 10 years of Elon Musk’s learning at Zip2 (1999), PayPal (2002) working with others gave him that experience. 
Google hired many senior, experienced people, as did almost every other major success.
