Our Clients are non-profits, for-profits, and startups

Business by business, entrepreneur by entrepreneur, B Revolution builds the B Corporation revolution one client at a time.

Our non-profit clients often seek to bolster their earned-income strategy by establishing a joint venture with a B Corporation, or by establish a wholly-or partially-owned B Corporation subsidiary.  The benefits of these strategies are many: establishing a separate B Corporation entity limits liability, allows equity investment and a separate financial strategy, and allows the non-profit to efficiently allocate its resources in order to bolster its mission.

Our existing business clients either have established sustainability and social impact business practices, or wish to develop an impact strategy to bolster their existing business model.  Our clients span the sustainable business space, from tech-driven social impact firms to businesses in organics and sustainable food and wine.

Our startup clients are solo entrepreneurs and startup management teams seeking to take their venture from concept to beta, or bootstrapped beta to alpha and then scale.  Typically, our clients are in the software, mobile, or ecommerce space, and are seeking capital in addition to strategic guidance.  We have experience in B2B, B2C, and B2G business planning.

Uniformly, our clients are experienced professionals and successful businesses and non-profits who seek external guidance in order to become as positively impactful and profitable as possible.  They are…

• Venture-backed growth companies
• Existing B Corporations seeking to maximize their profit+impact strategy
• Former management consultants at top 5 consulting firms
• Business owners and non-profit leaders with MBAs from top schools like UCLA and USC
• Former General Counsel of a fortune 500 company
• Professor at a top 30 business school
• Experienced business professional with over 30 years experience in their new venture’s industry

And our clients all have big, hairy, audacious goals for how to change the world in an often radical and disruptive way.  They seek to…
