Profile
   
Welcome to Cape Horn Strategies, Inc.

Founded in 1998, Cape Horn Strategies Inc., helps CEOs of small independent software vendors, from start-ups to mature companies, reach $100 million in revenue. 

Among others, we provide these six services:

 
 
   
1. Overcome Growth Choke-Points
  It is systemic in the growth of a software company that it will hit a wall in growing their revenue. We help the company become unstuck and lay a foundation for their next leg of growth.
  ............................................................................................................
 
2. Develop And Align A Strategic Planning Process
  We develop with you a strategic planning process that aligns your executive's and employees actions with your business strategy.
  ...........................................................................................................
     
3. Monthly/Bi-Monthly Strategy Consultations
  Some CEOs find valuable meeting with us on a monthly or bi-monthly basis to review both strategy and execution issues.
  ............................................................................................................
 
4. Software Strategy Audit
  We review a company's strategy--and its execution--to compare it against best practices. We conclude with a set of recommendations for improvement.
  ...........................................................................................................
     
5. CEO Dashboard
  Too many companies operate their business without objective data. It's like flying a 747 without having an instrument panel in the cockpit. We develop a set of metrics by which you can run your business and develop an actionable a process to use these metrics to provide continuous business improvement.
  ............................................................................................................
 
6. Facilitate Strategy Sessions
  We review a company's strategy--and its execution--to compare it against best practices. We conclude with a set of recommendations for improvement.
  ............................................................................................................
     
And during the past four years, we have researched why only a select few software companies-those on its
Sustained Success Honor Roll list continue to rack up year after consecutive year of profitable growth: what do they know that 97% of the industry doesn’t.
