The Relationship
More than advice. An ongoing strategic resource.
Markets change. Opportunities develop. Relationships evolve. Strategic Advisory gives you an experienced perspective to help you understand what's happening, decide where to focus, and determine 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's a genuine fit, VVG can open the door to relevant people and organizations across its 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 experienced place to bring those decisions—to pressure-test an opportunity, think through a relationship, decide where to focus, or determine 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 your 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.
What Strategic Advisory Is Not...
- A guaranteed number of introductions or business outcomes. Relationships are developed where there is a genuine fit.
- An outsourced sales, marketing, or operations function. VVG provides strategic perspective and business-development support, not a replacement sales team.
- A commission-only or success-fee arrangement. Strategic Advisory is a paid monthly engagement.
- An open-ended source of free consulting. Strategic recommendations and ongoing support are part of the paid advisory relationship.
- A promise that David or VVG will participate in every conversation after an introduction. The level of involvement depends on the engagement and opportunity.
Why VVG
You're not just getting one perspective. You're accessing an ecosystem.
David is your primary relationship, but the value of VVG extends beyond one person. Through its broader network, VVG brings perspective and connections across soccer leadership, player development, youth soccer, sports business, commercial strategy, analytics, sponsorship, entrepreneurship, events, marketing, and organizational development.

How It Starts
Start with a conversation.
Strategic Advisory starts with a free 20-minute conversation. We'll talk about what you're building, what you're trying to accomplish, and what you're looking for as you navigate the soccer market.
01
Schedule a 20-Minute Conversation
Choose a time to talk with David about where you are, where you're headed, and what you're looking for.
02
Talk Through What's Ahead
Use the conversation to explore your goals, the opportunities in front of you, and where VVG's perspective, network, or strategic support may be valuable.
03
Decide If You're Ready
If you're ready for ongoing strategic support and Strategic Advisory is the right fit, we'll talk through the relationship and what you need from VVG.
04
Start Advising
Once you decide to move forward, VVG becomes an ongoing strategic resource as you navigate the market, relationships, and opportunities ahead.
The 20-minute conversation is free and is simply about understanding where you are and where you're trying to go.
If you're ready for ongoing advisory and there's a fit, we'll determine the right way to work together.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Not every company needs ongoing advisory.
That's why VVG offers different ways to engage. If you're not ready for an ongoing relationship, that's okay. VVG has defined engagements for the earlier stages of the decision.

Let's Talk →Questions
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 free and 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.
If you're not ready for ongoing advisory, the conversation can help clarify what makes sense next. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, VVG may recommend starting with the $249 Soccer Market Assessment or the $997 Market Entry Strategy 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.
