Open Council Program

MSP’s Open Council Program is offered to a select set of early and growth stage technology companies. Each quarter you meet with our team of operating executives to discuss the inflection points you face, at no cost.

This is our chance to give back by helping the kind of leaders in whose shoes we’ve walked. But it’s your chance to tap fresh perspective and experience from a team of C-level executives that represent each business discipline: Technology, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Professional Services, Product Management, Legal & IP, COO, CEO, Chairman.  

Structure

All sessions are one-hour, closed-door virtual meetings between you and our team. Topics are at your discretion, including any problem, pressure, pivot, or opportunity that needs concerted attention.

During an initial 1-hour session we ask that you introduce your company, current objectives & plans, and the key issues being faced. Discussion follows with insights and advice offered by our team. (We ask that you provide basic background on the company and issues you would like to address in advance so our team can acquaint themselves prior to the call and thus make better use of our time together.)

During subsequent 1-hour quarterly sessions we further the discussion, keeping it relevant to evolving challenges. Sometimes interim calls may be scheduled with select members of our team for more focused advisory.
