§ 01 · The Distinction

What Most Firms Are

  • MSPs — Selling their own stack
  • Resellers — Paid by the vendor
  • Big 4 — Rotating associate at $600/hr
  • "Advisors" — With a partner tier to hit
vs.

What TVG Is

  • Advisory-only — No product line to push
  • Founder-led — Chris answers your call
  • Fixed retainer — Your cost is predictable
  • Vendor-agnostic — 250+ providers, zero commissions on advisory work

Every room has someone with an angle. Yours should have someone without one.

§ 02 · All Advisory Services

Seven disciplines. One independent advisor at the center of every one. Engage TVG on a single workstream or retain the firm across all seven. Every service is delivered by the founder — no junior hand-offs, no rotating associates.
