Fundraising Playbooks

I run Fundraising Playbooks as part of which I do 1-1 Investor Sprints with Founders and Masterclasses on Investor Outreach that actually gets replies. Between cold emailing my way to Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, getting replies from Sequoia Capital partners in <24h, VC replies in under 20min, a 7-figure HNWI reply in under 5min, and an avalanche of other results achieved by founders who use my methodology, the feedback I've been receiving can't stop raving about how my sessions are "singlehandedly the best session I ever attended", "world-class", "best one I've ever been on", "extremely practical", "had me on the edge of my seat and left with 4 pages of notes" - their words, not mine.

Turnkey

We turn startups into scaleups!

We help founders deliver sustainable growth by embedding our team of experts into their business, to give them the board they can’t afford in exchange for equity in their venture.

We deliver initiatives to generate growth alongside the founders until they recruit a team to take over the disciplines. 

Assisting founders with:

🤔 Strategy
💻 Commercial
📜 Legal
💸 Finance
📈 Sales
👥 Mentoring
🚩 HR & Recruitment
📲 Tech
👩‍❤️‍👨 then helping to secure finances & recruit the right team, so they can accelerate growth quickly to exit or IPO. 

We deliver this in 3 stages.
Foundation
Fuel
Flourish

In our Foundation stage we build you a growth plan that covers Strategy, Tech, Mentoring, HR, Funding, Legal, Sales, Finance & Commercial, before we move into our Fuel stage where we help secure finances & recruit the right team. Finally we implement your growth plan initiatives in our Flourish stage, to accelerate growth quickly through investment rounds to set you up for exit or IPO.

Turnkey’s solution provides a panel of advisors to sit on your board that can be swapped around as necessary, giving you access to an amazing team of experts on a flexible basis as you implement your growth plan.

Turnkey works with a handful of high growth potential businesses a year, who are usually at an early stage in their lifecycle, although may join later if scaling up or pivoting the business.

Our inputs deliver business growth, accelerate performance, and deliver a much more investible and valuable business.

We do not charge a fee for our services. Instead, we agree on an amount of equity in your business that is exchanged for our package. 

If you think your business could be the next big thing, get in touch to see how we can help support you on the journey.

Founder & CEO

Beyond Brand

Competitive advantage is no longer about price or product design, but about how you make your employees and customers feel. Differentiating your brand proposition has never been more essential, with the importance of brand experiences being the No1 driver behind which brands we choose to use in our lives.

Your brand is much more than just a logo and colour scheme. It’s your unique difference that sets you apart from the rest and ensures that people feel like they are dealing with your business. It’s what gives your business soul, personality, and what makes it feel alive. It’s an emotional experience.

87% of customers said they want to have a ‘meaningful relationship’ with the businesses they use. Yet the same audience also said they couldn’t care less if 77% of the brands they use fell off the face of the earth tomorrow. We exist to make sure you are in the 23% of businesses that people care about.

We help businesses to attract more customers and keep them for longer, by creating a world class brand strategy that making you stand out from your competition. Causing people to fall in love with your brand and for your business to grow its reputation, its customer base and its financial performance

Turning high potential startups into market leaders 🚀, Award winning founder of Turnkey & Beyond Brand, Business Person of the Year 2023

0.035% of all high potential startups actually become a Scaleup. 

That’s one in every 2857 companies!

Even if you are one of the 0.7% that secure funding, 97% of all returns come from 1 in 20 companies. 

The odds are stacked against you!
 
My name is Craig McVoy, Founder & CEO of Turnkey, and we help turn high potential startups into scaleups.

We surround you with the board you can’t afford in exchange for equity in your venture to amplify your chances of success.
 
I am looking to speak with founders who believe they can reach £10m+ turnover within 5 years with their venture if given the right help to get there.

To get in touch, just send over a DM, or email us 👉 info@weareturnkey.co.uk
