Since 1999, Growthink has provided strategic advisory and investment banking services to emerging and middle market companies.
Growthink Consulting develops strategic, innovation, exit and business plans to help companies grow, raise capital and exit.
And through our wholly-owned subsidiary Growthink Capital, a FINRA / SIPC registered broker-dealer investment bank, we directly raise equity and debt capital and advise upon business sale & merger transactions.
Our Story
In 1999, Growthink co-founders Dave Lavinsky and Jay Turo graduated with their MBAs from UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. They conceived Growthink from their deep and abiding passion and curiosity for business. As Turo says, “The work we do at Growthink is what Dave and I would just naturally do whenever we got together – talking about businesses we love and how to make them better.”

Growthink’s mission is to help executives and entrepreneurs grow their businesses so they can create jobs, offer customers better products and services, realize personal satisfaction and wealth, and fund programs that make the world a better place.

With each and every client, we embrace our mission of helping executives and entrepreneurs – with all kinds of ambitions, objectives, goals, dreams, and visions – to succeed.
- We Deliver Quality. We subscribe to Robert Pirsig’s famous definition of quality as the result of care. We take care to do and create things right.

- We Are Efficient. Brevity and timeliness are high virtues. We define and adhere to project roles, responsibilities, and timelines. We get on with it, and effectively utilize technology to collaborate, to connect, and to complete in transparent, real-time manners.
- We are Opportunistic and Strategic. We find that fine balance between the fierce urgency of now to complete tasks and to do lists, and the longer, strategic view of building value over time.

Integreon
I worked with the team at Growthink to accelerate the development of the original Integreon business plan.
They are a sharp, creative, and results-focused group. I recommend them highly to companies of all sizes looking to turbo-charge the development of their strategic business plans and their businesses.

Great Expectations
Growthink helped birth my company. They got to know both me and my vision. They helped ‘smack me upside the head’ to help make sure I was realistic about meeting expectations.
As a result, they helped craft, draft and construct the right written presentation. As a result, I got my funding.

I am looking forward to continued success working with everyone from Growthink in the future.
