Building the game changers of the future business community
From scratch — or by converting a company that got stuck
Business venture re-pivot
When a company got stuck, you could kill the baby, sell the shares, or inject a little extra and reap substantial benefits. When rebuilding a company, often client value, society relevance, and profit go hand in hand.
We take the lead, while you wait for the return. In the meantime, clients will reap the benefits too, and society will get positively impacted.
Business venture metamorphosis
A business that got stuck in the past, surely had a great journey and it even might still have a great reputation, but you know it is on a dead-end. High time to fundamentally rethink it, and start with new positive energy.
We go on a co-creation journey together with your investment manager and the entrepreneurial team.
Greenfield venture creation
Some ideas are so disruptive, that they require a blank page. Most investors would wait for the idea to be proven by the numbers. Others might join the venture creation journey early stage — and reap the benefits.
For our own initiatives, we assemble a syndicate to reduce the risk. In other cases, we work on assignment of a corporate venturing department.

Venture Revival
Regaining lost assets
We are glad to give a helping hand, and drag your lost assets out of the swamp — for you to realize a great exit after all.
What we do
Together with the leadership team, we give the company a new future. In short, we revive a company that had already been given up.
Other examples
Here are some other examples of how ImpactBuilders cooperates with investors, and with the leadership of their ventures.
Shareholder and stakeholder partnership
Ensuring the new journey starts off well
Towards a new shareholder structure
Existing 
shareholders have the first right to increase their share, but often, also new shareholders are required to start a grand new journey. At greenfield ventures, potential investors can get involved before creation.
Assembling a full leadership team
We prefer leadership teams of three complementary leaders — one leader to reach out, one leader to get into the details, and one leader to keep the team together. Sometimes we take up one of these roles for a while …
Advisory board & long-term coaching
Already in an early stage of our cooperation, we add advisors and ambassadors. We also try to get (potential) client involvement, to ensure substantial market traction. And, of course, we coach the venture until success.
Let’s see how we can cooperate
Let’s schedule a call, or meet in person whenever we are in your region.
Or, we can keep you informed on future projects that are looking for co-investors.
Project in the picture
Flxion — Mgt Tech SaaS to design, run, and grow a self-steering company
Flxion is SaaS that helps to design, run, and grow self-steering companies. It aims at mid-size services companies in the Benelux and the Nordics.
Startup repivot
This case was a startup repivot. That’s always quite difficult, because the history is there, and the money is gone.
We managed to revive this one.
We defined a new vision that makes Flxion stand out, and merged it with a complementary company to realize that new vision. We assembled a team, pre-financed and coordinated the MVP development. The project starts to sell.
Now we help attract funding to bridge the time to VC.

Other projects
Here are some examples of the projects that we are currently running – either on assignment by the investors, or on our own initiative.
Complementing the investors and the leaders
By looking differently
We add value to a venture, because we add an ‘orthogonal’ viewpoint. We have insights that cannot be found in spreadsheets, surveys, and studies. We have a different position in regards to the project, and we look differently at a project.
Most investment managers are great. Most business managers are driven, smart, passionate. Most teams have the right attitude and great skills. We do not take over, and do not criticize the current venture team.
However, when a venture is at a crossroads, they need someone different.
That’s us.
People, clients, society
Of course, ‘staff & markets’ are in the business plan. We expand that view, and include the dynamics of getting more of the right people, and more of the margin-generating clients, passionate about the business.
New value streams
Based on the strategic vision and purpose, we generate new value streams — and we know how to select the ones that are more shock-proof in turbulent times. We cooperate with the existing team to do the math.
New business model
Whenever a company is stuck, there is no alternative — we have to find a fundamentally new business model, and transform the company to create its own new future. Again, calculation and validation is in full cooperation with the existing team.
