Our Approach

Emberlin Group provides hands-on advisory for founders and small businesses. We are inclusive, practical, and results-driven — ensuring access to critical business knowledge and resources without unnecessary hurdles.

How It Works

We offer two types of access:

  • Community Access

    • For early-stage and underserved founders.

    • Accessible pricing and flexible schedules.

    • Emphasis on essentials: formation guidance, starter strategy sessions, capital readiness, and local/state grant prep.

  • Standard Access

    • For growing businesses ready for deeper and faster advisory support.

    • Includes monthly retainers, growth accelerators, operations packages, and investor deck builds.

    • Priority scheduling, extended engagements, and implementation guidance.

To ensure accessibility for diverse founders, we also provide:

  • Scholarships: Limited slots for those demonstrating financial need.

  • Sponsorships: Community and business partners may sponsor individual founders or cohorts.

  • Employer & Community Partnerships: Bring Emberlin Group’s advisory directly to organizations or networks.

  • Workshops: Low-cost opportunities to access key knowledge in group settings.
