The Relationship
More than advice. An ongoing strategic resource.
Markets change. Opportunities develop. Relationships evolve. Strategic Advisory gives you an experienced VVG perspective to help you think through what is happening, where to focus, and what makes sense next.
02
Market Insight
Understand the people, organizations, dynamics, and opportunities shaping the soccer ecosystem around your business.
03
Relevant Connections
When there is a genuine fit, VVG can make warm introductions to relevant members of its extended network.
04
Opportunity Navigation
Identify where to focus, evaluate emerging opportunities, and determine which conversations are worth pursuing.
Why Ongoing Advisory
The value isn't another report.
A report can give you information. A strategy session can give you a plan. But once you're in the market, new questions and opportunities keep appearing.
Strategic Advisory gives you an ongoing place to bring those decisions—to pressure-test an opportunity, think through a relationship, determine where to focus, or decide what deserves your attention next.
Have someone who understands the market to think with.
VVG's role is to provide perspective, access, and strategic support—not to become a full-time outsourced sales or operations team.
How VVG Can Help
The engagement is shaped around what you're trying to accomplish.
Strategic Advisory is intentionally customized. The right mix of support depends on your objectives, the market you're pursuing, and the opportunities in front of you.
Advisory may include...
- Strategic guidance around market entry, growth, and positioning.
- Perspective on relevant organizations, market dynamics, and opportunities.
- Warm introductions to appropriate members of VVG's extended network when there is a genuine fit.
- Support evaluating and developing relevant business opportunities.
- Strategic input around partnerships, investor relationships, and market development.
- Ongoing visibility into priorities, activity, and opportunities being pursued.
It is not...
- A promise of a specific number of introductions or business outcomes.
- A full-time outsourced sales, marketing, or operations function.
- A guarantee that VVG will participate in every conversation after an introduction.
- A commission-only or success-fee arrangement.
- An unlimited source of free consulting before an engagement begins.
Why VVG
You're not just getting one perspective. You're accessing an ecosystem.
David is the primary relationship, but VVG's broader advisory network brings experience across soccer leadership, player development, youth soccer, sports business, commercial strategy, analytics, sponsorship, entrepreneurship, events, marketing, and organizational development.
01
Understand
Understand your objectives, market position, challenges, and opportunities.
02
Connect
Identify relevant people, organizations, and relationships where a genuine fit exists.
03

04

How It Starts
Simple by design.
Strategic Advisory is a custom relationship, so we don't ask you to buy a generic package. We first determine whether there is a genuine fit, then define the engagement around the work that makes sense.
01
Fit Check
Tell us a little about what you're building, what you're trying to accomplish, and what you're looking for.
02
20-Minute Conversation
If the initial information suggests a fit, you'll receive a link to schedule a brief introductory conversation with David.
03
Define the Engagement
If there is a fit, VVG will recommend the appropriate scope, focus, and level of involvement for the relationship.
04
Start Advising
Once the engagement is agreed and in place, VVG becomes an ongoing strategic resource for the work ahead.
The introductory conversation is a fit conversation—not a free consulting session.
Its purpose is to understand your situation and determine whether VVG's Strategic Advisory model is appropriate. Specific strategic recommendations, introductions, business-development support, and other advisory services begin as part of a paid engagement.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Not every company needs ongoing advisory. That's why we built the ladder.
If you're not ready for an ongoing relationship, that's okay. VVG has defined engagements for the earlier stages of the decision.

Know exactly what the relationship is.
No. Strategic Advisory is customized around the client's objectives, needs, opportunities, and appropriate level of involvement. Engagements start at $2,000 per month.
When there is a genuine fit, VVG may make warm introductions to relevant members of its extended network. Introductions are relationship-driven and appropriate to the client's objectives; they are not a guaranteed quota or promise of a particular business outcome.
No. A warm introduction is intended to open the right door. The appropriate level of VVG involvement after an introduction depends on the engagement, the opportunity, and what makes sense for the relationship. Strategic Advisory is not a promise that VVG will participate in every subsequent conversation.
No. Business development and opportunity development can be part of the advisory relationship, but VVG is not positioned as an outsourced sales team and does not guarantee leads, deals, revenue, or other commercial outcomes.
No. VVG works through paid strategic engagements. Strategic Advisory is a monthly paid advisory relationship and is not structured as a commission-only or success-fee arrangement.
The call is used to understand what you're building, what you're trying to accomplish, where you are in the market, and whether VVG's capabilities and network are a good fit. It is not a free strategy or consulting session.
That's exactly why the fit check exists. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, VVG may recommend starting with the $249 Soccer Market Assessment or the $997 Market Entry Blueprint instead.
The relationship is ongoing and customized. The appropriate term, scope, and cadence are established as part of the engagement rather than presented as a one-size-fits-all package on the website.
