We assist small businesses with identifying their Maximal Value Activity and establishing an operational discipline for directing everything else in the business to serve and protect it.

What We Do

Gain Stage helps small business owners chart a course to growth by providing coaching, remote staffing, and financial support. For new businesses, we are effective at clearing the clutter of operational tasks in order to allow the business to focus on the high-value efforts that will accelerate growth.

For established small companies experiencing growth or financial challenges, we can provide analysis to diagnose issues, and planning to help guide the business to wellness. Financial investment, from partial equity stake through complete acquisition for established companies can be considered.

Who We Are

We are a cohort of passionate business people who are disciples of “Effective Altruism”, prioritizing people before profit. Ours is a culture of pulling business decisions through a faith- based filter to manage our company’s integrity and keep our moral compass pointed north. Our philosophy includes elevating and celebrate employees, as they are the segment of the staff responsible for delivering on the brand promise that will build a loyal customer base.
