We connect experienced advisors with founders of high-tech startups

Innosphere’s Advisor Programs:

Connecting founders with experienced mentors that have experience in their industries is one of our highest priorities. Our programs include: Executive Advisors, Executives in Residence, service providers, the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), and the highly-engaged mentors from the SAGE Program. Here’s the best part — this is all in addition to Innosphere’s client success managers that our client companies get to work with on a weekly basis!

  • Executive Advisors
    A group of over 50 executive level individuals. They actively work to support the commercialization journey of CEOs and founders by working on issues which are unique to CEOs such as hiring and firing, working with a board of directors, strategy, and accelerating top line revenue growth.
  • Executives in Residence
    EIRs include regulatory and medical advisors, angel investing advisors, law and legal advisors from Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck and Fairfield and Woods, tax advisors from Plante Moran, and industry-specific advisors that specialize in SaaS models.
  • Service Providers
    Subject matter experts have a deep knowledge of a specific process, function or technology (or a combination of all three). They enjoy sharing their knowledge with technical founders and CEOs who are building science and technology companies.
  • Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)
    The SAB is organized in partnership with clinical staff at UCHealth. The group advises entrepreneurs on technical feasibility, user flow considerations, and strength of the value proposition. For entrepreneurs that are further along, the UCHealth team can partner with entrepreneurs to conduct clinical trials.
  • SAGE Advisors
    Highly experienced advisors dedicated to helping startups refine business strategies, go-to-market plans and product definitions. SAGE stands for the “Social and Advisory Group for Entrepreneurs” and is a program specifically designed to provide early stage startups with advisory and mentoring assistance as they prepare themselves to become a sustainable business.

The role of a SAGE Advisor:

SAGE is a team-based multi-disciplinary approach for assisting startups gain traction.

Each month, a promising company will give a presentation to SAGE advisors.  Following the presentation, the group provides real time feedback to the presenter, after which an advisory team is created to provide the presenting company with additional advice on an ongoing basis over the next 6 to 12 months.
