“Stockdale Ventures has been an essential partner in the evolution of Muval. As one of the directors Who Chairs our Board, they bring disciplined governance, along with mentorship, to both our CEO and General Manager. Their input across operational frameworks, strategic growth, and leadership development has lifted both the organisation and the people within it. Their involvement continues to be a critical asset in shaping our future.”
“As a first-time founder stepping into a CEO role, the guidance from Stockdale Ventures was incredibly grounding. They helped shape the organisation, support team transitions, and provide strategic advice that strengthened our direction—including grant submissions. Their mentorship helped me make confident, informed decisions early in our journey.”
“Having Stockdale Ventures in my corner as an accountability partner has made a real difference. Our regular sessions provide the space I need to focus on meaningful goals, acknowledge progress, and stay on track. Stockdale brings challenge and clarity, helping me lead the business more intentionally.”
“Working with Stockdale Ventures during a pivotal phase of our business was incredibly valuable. As General Manager, I leaned on their support to navigate a full team transition—from rationalising our internal capacity and honing our market offering, to reshaping our sales and marketing ecosystem. They also supported us through complex executive transitions. Throughout it all, I had a trusted advisor who brought clarity, structure, and a sense of calm leadership to what was a challenging time.”
“Working with Stockdale Ventures has been a game changer for our business. Over several years, they’ve helped me as Founder and CEO to stay focused on strategic growth while also navigating the practical challenges of a complex portfolio. From refining our internal systems and advising on tech and operational efficiencies, to helping commercialise our proprietary IP through an e-learning revenue model—Stockdale have been instrumental in turning ideas into executable strategy. They don’t just consult; they stand beside you like a true business partner.”
