Embedded resources help a start-up scale its team and prepare for a go-public event 

Wearing every hat to ensure execution

A Vancouver-based start up was looking for in-house counsel. They got their lawyer, but they also got executive leadership on business strategy, human resources and copywriting. practice wrks became an essential, embedded operational resource.

Over 8 months, employees were vetted, hired and mentored, as the team grew nearly ten fold. Investment was collected efficiently, ensuring compliance with securities laws and paving the way to a go-public event. Web and promotional copy was reviewed and re-written. In short: no task was too large or too small for practice wrks to handle.
