Katy Hansell Impact Partners - Strategic Advisory Chicago

Katy Hansell Impact Partners™ Strategic Advisory service is targeted to NEW founders who don't have access to business consultants, incubators / accelerators, or private equity / venture capital.

What they are looking for is a seasoned advisor who has aligned interests and isn’t motivated by quick returns (i.e. diluting their equity), but wants to help turn this idea into a sustainable business reality. 

Most founders want someone who is:

  • An expert on business AND

  • Understands the founder’s journey AND

  • Is passionate about creating new businesses

Katy is all three.
