Let's Talk About TVG
Why it makes financial sense

Limited Engagements

TVG accepts a limited number
of advisory clients. Slots are open now.

Every client gets the same advisor and the same level of attention. When capacity is reached, new engagements pause. That is not a sales line.

Full advisory access
Every client gets direct advisor access — not a junior associate or a shared inbox.
No waitlist promises
When capacity fills, it fills. The right move is to start the conversation before that happens.
Active the same week
No onboarding delays. No ramp time. A 30-minute conversation is the right first step.

Always Included

What every TVG retainer includes — regardless of tier.

Your Outcome First

Your retainer establishes TVG's obligation before any solution is discussed.

Honest Assessment

We'll tell you when a solution isn't warranted. No pressure, no pitch.

Contract Review

Every vendor agreement reviewed before you sign anything.

Minimum Two Options

Every solution sourced with at least two competing options. Always.

Independent Comparison

Plain-language analysis of your options. No vendor narrative.

Implementation Oversight

TVG stays through go-live. Your provider delivers. We make sure they do.

No Hidden Fees

No project fees. No markup. Sourcing and oversight are in your retainer.

Contract Intelligence

Every active vendor contract tracked and monitored. Renewal dates, auto-escalators, and exit windows surfaced before they become surprises.

Common Questions

Questions executives ask before engaging TVG.

Does TVG implement the solutions it recommends?
No. TVG advises and oversees — your chosen provider delivers. We source options, help you evaluate, and oversee implementation. Our obligation is to your outcome, not the delivery margin.
Do I still need my MSP or VAR if I engage TVG?
Your MSP and VAR serve a real purpose. TVG fills a different role — your strategic advisory layer above the vendor relationship. Our retainer doesn't change based on what you choose. That's what makes unbiased guidance possible.
What happens if we don't need a solution in a given month?
You still get full advisory value — sessions, contract reviews, vendor evaluations, risk assessments. The retainer is tied to your advisory relationship, not activity volume.
What industries do you serve?
Anywhere technology decisions carry operational risk or financial exposure.
How do I know if my organization is the right fit?
Any executive navigating vendor decisions, contracts, or infrastructure without a trusted independent advisor in the room.
What is the advisory retainer and how long is it available?
Starting at $1,999/month. Available to TVG's first client cohort. Will not be extended once capacity is filled.
