The Rule of 10
Want to add the Whodeani touch to your business or idea? The cost of entry is 'The Rule of 10'. Why The Rule of 10 and what does that mean?
Dean is approached by many businesses (ranging from start-ups to mature enterprises). And while there are many opportunities, there is only so much available time.
To manage these opportunities and in some ways speed up the ‘dance’ that usually accompanies negotiations of this type, Dean has created the 'The Rule of 10', a rule that both aligns Dean with the company seeking his services and 'cuts to the chase' on partnership terms, saving both parties time and money.
Want Dean to be an advisor, help raise funds, drive business development and/or deliver a liquidity event for your venture? – Dean’s fee is a 10% upfront equity stake in the business.
There is value to the 'Rule of 10' on both sides. The business gets the value of Dean’s involvement without using existing working capital. While Dean gets a solid commitment that the value he adds will generate returns and opportunity to benefit from those returns.
10% equity may work well with startup or early stage ventures but wont suit all opportunities.
Depending on the opportunity, Dean may be available to work for a minimum of $10K per month or a combination of upfront equity and fees. He will not however work on a risk reward or deferred compensation basis.
He has a proven track record of business success and is confident in the value he can deliver.
