Proudly, a Veteran-Owned Business
HOW WE WORK WITH START-UPS AND ENTREPRENEURS
We Convert Big Ideas into Action
We work with passionate entrepreneurs and teams at multiple stages. Typically, we engage with companies 5 years or more in business. That said, we’re suckers for great humans with disruptive products so, even if your business is just starting out, consider giving us a shout.
Projects
Begin with a well-versed budget allocation for your digital, loyalty, or innovation project.
We will validate budget for your project with our team before getting into a longer-term engagement. Even if the need is tactical, we have you covered.
Venture Studio
Our portfolio investments look to align likeminded, complimentary brands together that have met our requirements. We accomplish big things by drawing on a network of known creative, strategic and technology thinkers and doers. We reimagine brands and meticulously grow businesses.
We’re actively seeking our next co-investment.
The New Blank
The New Blank is a living, breathing example of what happens when creative and storytelling talent meets strategic focus. We didn't just invest in TNB; we became part of their DNA, nurturing their creative prowess with our business acumen.

You Didn’t Become a Leader By Following the Herd
Look, we get it - you're a renegade leader trying to make seismic moves in a corporate world full of dinosaurs. You crave the speed and fueled mindset of a startup, but you've got legacy hurdles weighing you down.
We're the contrarians experienced in air-dropping our disruptive digital strike teams and embedded growth experts into stuck enterprises. Need to validate that aggressive product roadmap? Our ballistics are unmatched. Time to finally ditch those archaic processes? We'll start the controlled burn.

FAIR PRICING
Pricing for the People
I believe in pricing for the people, not the typical BS, bloated agency, or consulting models either. Whether you're a scrappy startup or an enterprise heavyweight, our flexible pricing models are custom-built to maximize your impact and minimize the fluff. From fixed-fee sprints to equity partnerships, hourly engagements to retained services, we'll find the right fit to fuel your growth without breaking the bank.
Start-ups and Entrepreneurs
Available capital shouldn’t be what limits business growth. Whether you're a bootstrapped solo operation or VC-backed with a stomping payroll, our pricing packages are custom-fit to make your dollar go the distance.
Our pricing options include fixed-fee sprints, equity partnerships, unbundled experts - we'll make it work.
Enterprise Leaders
There's no excuse for overpaying for consultants from big firms who view enterprise clients as a bottomless money pit. Our enterprise pricing options are designed for leaders craving maximum impact while showing fiscal restraint.
Our pricing options include fixed-fee projects, hourly engagements with defined deliverables, and retained services for sustained support - let's get strategic and keep it lean.

How does CRRNT approach project scoping and estimation?
Our project scoping process starts with a deep dive into your business goals, target audiences, and key challenges. We then break down the work into distinct phases and deliverables, providing clear estimates for each. This allows us to align on expectations and ensure we're driving towards measurable outcomes.
How does CRRNT protect the confidentiality and intellectual property of its clients?
Protecting our clients' confidential information and intellectual property is of the utmost importance to us. We have strict confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements in place for all engagements, and we follow industry best practices for secure data handling and storage.
We also work with you to define clear IP ownership and licensing terms upfront for applicable engagements
What's the typical length of a CRRNT engagement?
The length of our engagements varies based on the complexity of the project and the specific needs of the client. Some projects may be as short as a few weeks, while others may span several months or even years. We work with you to define a timeline that balances your goals with your budget and resources.
What sets CRRNT apart from other consulting firms or agencies?
What sets CRRNT apart is our unique blend of strategic consulting, creative problem-solving, and hands-on execution. We don't just provide high-level advice – we roll up our sleeves and work alongside your team to drive real, measurable results.
We also bring a diverse range of expertise across industries and disciplines, allowing us to tackle complex challenges with a holistic, innovative approach.
How does CRRNT handle communication and reporting throughout the project?
Clear, consistent communication is essential to our process. We establish regular touch points and reporting cadences tailored to your preferences. This may include weekly status calls, monthly executive summaries, and real-time access to project management tools. Speaking of tools, we primarily use Slack, Zoom, Loom, JIRA, Google Cloud, and Trello for project collaboration, along with others.
Our goal is to keep you informed and engaged every step of the way.
