The wealth of practical experience within the Transitions team and associates, offers a broad range of options for mentoring of founders and founder-managers/managers in early stage, growth focussed companies, especially where strong innovative and entrepreneurial elements are in play. Amongst the Transitions team, experience of a wide variety of business and management training resides - and can be applied to the needs of individuals and teams. Boards, directors, functional heads can be mentored; Transitions enabling approach is particularly appropriate to very early stage companies operating in the technology space from Incubators.

Transitions can provide, through the work of its own Partners, and drawing from a panel of associates, interim management to early stage companies. This can be from Chairman and Chief Executive, through all functional specialties. The Transitions approach, with "Virtual Board", business planning, mentoring, and organisation building - makes for coherence and enables the streaming of services from one mode to another as a young company develops.

Transitions maintains a panel of experienced executives able to assume non-executive responsibilities for early stage companies.

In circumstances wherein two or three founders struggle to get a company going Transitions Partners are able to form a "Virtual Board" - for an interim period - providing a Non-Executive Chairman and other Board positions to work with busy founder-managers to ensure strategy and direction are handled through the ongoing leadership of a Board structured to ensure proper corporate governance as well as best practice management.

For investors organising conferences and workshops Transitions can provide comprehensive organisation and structural services, recruit speakers and assist with obtaining sponsorship. An excellent example was the highly successful October 2002 'Where Angels Dare and VCs Sometimes Tread' conference organised by Transitions for CHASE - Cambridge High Technology Association of Small Enterprises.
