Sprout’n is here to support you and your business idea the whole way. From validating the idea, getting help building it, then properly managing cashflow and inventory.
Score a business idea across market demand, competition, monetisation and regulatory risk. You get a report that tells you what's weak and what to fix, before you spend thousands.
Sampling, manufacturing, and freight all managed by us based on your vision and needs. We work the late nights with the suppliers so you don’t have to. Removing risk and headaches.
Interface design, a working MVP, beta testing with real users, then the maintenance to keep it running. For the products that are software rather than something you ship in a box.
Entrepreneurs often have no cost-effective easy way to track cashflow and manage the movement of cash honestly. Root gives you that access and superpower to control your cash before it runs out.
Inventory management paired with cashflow is the most invisible pairing when you first start out. No one tells you how much you need to reinvest on your next few orders. Harvest gives you the entire picture, so nothing comes as a surprise and you can be prepared.
One Sprout’n account gives you access to tools every entrepreneur should have, but can’t afford. Subscribe now.
Four reasons startups fail
Thought they had a good idea, but didn’t bother doing the right due diligence. More cash was being spent than they even knew and weren’t ready to inject more. Forecasting more orders, a silent killer.
Most failures could be avoided by validating ideas
So often people’s business ideas fail because they aren't properly thought out or validated. It might not be financially viable or maybe there isn’t a big enough market.
Managing a supply chain is daunting
Talking to suppliers and managing the entire supply chain isn’t easy, especially when it’s new to you. Is it the right supplier, are they certified, are they taking advantage, how do I build a relationship that can scale - the list goes on.
Understanding what money is going in and out is hard
Stripe says one number, Shopify says another, the bank says a third, and none of them know about the freight invoice. Did I factor in advertising, packaging, domains, shipping, website, and email costs. Most founders find out their real margin when it’s too late.
Forecasting another order and timing it with cashflow
Most entrepreneurs when they first start out have no idea what they have signed up for. You need to order more inventory before you have even collected what you need from the previous one. No idea what that timeline or financial picture looks like.
