Financial Investing

Even though Dov and Elma bootstrapped Dovel through the company’s start-up and rapid growth phases, they understand that this is not always an option for entrepreneurs, and, even if it is it might not be the most effective and efficient way to start a company.

They strongly believe that their successful exit of Dovel has provided them with the opportunity to ‘pay it forwards’ by supporting promising, and financially struggling, start-ups by investing their own capital. In addition to their own investment resources, Eldov has the backing of Macquarie Capital, a global, multi-billion dollars PE firm, for certain qualifying opportunities.

IT Consulting

For Start Ups

Innovative, ambitious entrepreneurs often get caught up in the excitement of their invention and may fail to see possible flaws, or better ways to accomplish a similar outcome.  Dov is an experienced technologist with a keen eye for technical possibilities and challenges.  Because of his multiple decades of IT experience, his observations and guidance can ensure that the most effective and cutting edge technical approach is applied.

For Mature IT Organizations

Once a solution has been implemented, and rapid growth happens, IT system challenges often occur that were not anticipated or evident during the earlier phases of start-up and rapid growth.  Dov is experienced in putting teams together to perform full-scale evaluations of struggling IT programs.  The outcome of these efforts usually is a report with findings and recommendations that can be used by the company’s leadership or Board to adjust course and/or implement changes.

Business Mentorship

When Dov and Elma started, they had to figure out for themselves how to build a strong corporate foundation, and how to grow, and scale, the organization to prevent it from imploding when growth happened while still making sure that it was strong and flexible enough to support the growth. It was a with lot of trial and error, but ultimately it was the strength and resilience of the corporate foundation of the organization that provided the platform to support the strategy to expand from ‘organic growth’ to ‘acquisition growth’.

Through their own experience with successfully taking their company through the multiple phases of the organizational lifecycle, as well as their work with start-ups over the years, Dov and Elma have developed a wealth of knowledge and experience on what it takes to develop and successfully graduate a company from start-up through maturity.

Leadership Coaching

A company is only as successful as its leaders…

All too often, the innovative, ambitious and hard-charging start-up leaders find that Leadership requires many different traits to be effective. Among them are vision, empathy, communication and innovation.

More over, the leadership style that was effective during the start-up phase, may actually be in-effective, or worse, destructive, during later phases of the organization’s life cycle.

More and more companies recognize the value of Leadership Coaching to support their leaders to be the best they can be, and in turn, make the company as successful as it can be.

As a certified Leadership Coach, Elma works with business owners as they navigate the challenges of building their business, incentivizing and guiding their teams, scaling the corporate organization and managing their work-life balance and their own well-being. Not only did she personally experience the challenges of learning to be an effective leader, she also has the academic backing of an accredited program in Leadership Coaching, as well as multiple additional workshops and certifications (see www.coachtostrength.com)
