GVX leverages years of helping organizations conduct system selections. We’ve done full-scale evaluations for Fortune 500 companies and have used the basics of those frameworks to help SMB-sized organizations conduct time and cost-effective selections while still reviewing all they need to make a solid and strategic selection for the path-forward technology as they scale.
We will partner closely with you to right-size the approach.
What makes us different: GVX has extensive experience with growth engine technology beginning with the CRM, Marketing Tech, and ancillary Martech supporting software.

We always consider the context of the rest of the stack, the data, the ongoing support, and the team using it.

VALUE CREATION: In addition to serving as the foundation of the growth engine for facilitating growth, a strong technology stack and other associated growth engine components serves as variable in the establishment of the valuation multiple in the eyes of a buyer. It also serves as a risk variable assessed by investors as you seek expansion capital for the next growth stage transition.
GVX partners with our clients and developed the X Readiness framework for the purpose of preparing the tech stack for the next step in some of the following ways:
Ability to seize growth opportunities
Mitigation of growth risk
Developing the ability to scale
Optimizing the value of data and converting it into business intel that’s accurate, meaningful, leveragable, and therefore valuable
Technology that’s effective, efficient, and embraced with consistency
The stronger the tech stack in the above, as the heart of the growth engine, the better positioned you are for establishing a higher valuation multiple and the less risk passed along to a future capital raise.
GVX was developed to support clients in a comprehensive way to help scale, grow, and build value.
