“Each Startup is Unique”
We provide strategic business and financial advisory services to startup entrepreneurs as they face multiple challenges on all fronts to reach the ownership of their niche with limited resources. There is no single recipe for success, only multiple experiences hence our statement “each startup is unique”.

We “make it as simple as possible, but not simpler”
(A. Einstein)
Our process is collaborative, as we steer an ongoing exchange with the entrepreneur, adapting the responses to the situation and the personalities involved, with one single aim, to provide timely actionable advice. Our availability and speed in dealing with a broad range of issues is our forte. There are always multiple solutions. A constructive and progressive methodology in weaving the exchange, with quick iterations integrating successive feedback, leads inevitably to the selection of an agreed-upon most appropriate solution. The key to success in this process is full transparency between J&M Lab and our clients.
We believe it is paramount to be immersed into the business of each client, in order to be effective. Only through such engagement can we deliver services up to our standard. Hence our assignments tend to reach a significant level of involvement, as substantive strategic matters can hardly be proposed on the fly. We are value-oriented consultants. Characteristically we often act as the adjunct team for our clients.
We work with our clients under confidentiality agreements. We develop together a communication plan and objectives. Through multiple sessions we assemble a set of suggestions, some of which are to be executed in a sequential mode, while others need be executed in a parallel mode. Because each startup is unique, our advice is tailored to each client at one point in time in their development.
