How We Helped
Next Street led CAEL in developing and realizing a strategic plan that selectively invests in products that monetize CAEL’s intellectual property and expertise while scaling its impact. In addressing strategic and organizational needs, Next Street delivered:
- Created a strategic plan and financial model for the next five years of growth
- Redesigned the organization to support scale and growth
- Assessed market and developed business plan for a career-planning SaaS
- Assessed and created roadmap for CAEL’s web-based, prior assessment platform
Our Impact
- We formalized financial management and created a financial roadmap — an economic model and capital plan — for managing the growth of the organization (projected ~25 percent revenue CAGR).
- We helped complete an $8 million capital raise to fund the investments identified in the strategic plan
- We conducted deep-dive assessments of two products, resulting in the launch of a new career-planning SaaS product and the scaling of CAEL’s web-based prior learning assessment platform
