Corporate Challenge: A new startup wants to standout in a red sea of competition.

Ironbound Strategy: Powerful brands emerge and attract greater attention by creating value for employees, customers, and society. Consumers are more attracted to businesses that resonate positive meaning into the world.

Ironbound Action: San Francisco based Luminalt propelled astronomically from a startup to the largest solar instillation firm in San Francisco and a national leader of the green economy in just over 10 years. They credit their success in large part to their greater emphasis on improving the environment and supporting local communities. Focusing just as much emphasis on profits as on creating value for all stakeholders helps generate powerful brand awareness. Powerful brand awareness from creating society value allows startups to scale faster and more efficiently.
