1. Overview of Services

Brentova Advisory provides strategic consulting, advisory, and business development services designed specifically for early-stage startups and growth-stage companies. Our service offerings include, but are not limited to, the following areas of engagement:

Startup Consultations: We offer structured advisory sessions aimed at helping founders clarify their business model, define priorities, validate strategic direction, and create actionable next-step plans. These sessions are designed to provide clarity and focus during the earliest and most ambiguous stages of company building. Each consultation is tailored to the specific challenges, market context, and goals of the individual founder or founding team.

Pitch Deck Preparation: Our team works with founders to develop investor-grade pitch decks that communicate the company's value proposition, market opportunity, business model, traction, financial projections, and team credentials in a compelling and structured narrative. This service includes narrative architecture, slide design guidance, data visualization recommendations, and iterative refinement based on feedback and market best practices.

Investor Preparation: We prepare founders for investor meetings through comprehensive Q&A preparation, objection handling frameworks, financial model walkthroughs, positioning drills, and presentation confidence coaching. This service is designed to ensure that founders can articulate their vision, defend their assumptions, and navigate the due diligence process with credibility and composure.

Company Registration: We provide guidance and support for the legal and operational setup of business entities, including jurisdiction selection, entity formation, basic compliance frameworks, and foundational corporate governance structures. While we facilitate the registration process, we are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Clients are strongly encouraged to consult with qualified legal counsel for matters requiring legal interpretation or representation.

Growth Strategy: We develop comprehensive growth roadmaps spanning 12 to 18 months, covering go-to-market strategy, market positioning, customer acquisition frameworks, milestone planning, hiring strategy, and preparation for subsequent funding rounds. This service integrates all elements of the founder's journey into a cohesive strategic plan designed to attract investment and drive sustainable growth.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each engagement are defined in individual service agreements, proposals, or order confirmations provided to the Client prior to the commencement of work. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specific service agreement, the terms of the specific service agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

3. Client Obligations and Cooperation

The success of our advisory engagements depends significantly on the active participation and cooperation of the Client. By engaging our services, you agree to the following obligations:

You will provide all necessary information, documents, data, and access required for us to perform our services in a timely and complete manner.

You will designate a primary point of contact who has the authority to make decisions, provide approvals, and communicate on behalf of your organization throughout the duration of the engagement. Delays caused by the Client's failure to provide timely feedback, approvals, or requested materials may result in adjusted timelines and, in some cases, additional fees.

You will attend all scheduled meetings, workshops, and review sessions as agreed upon in the engagement plan. Repeated no-shows or cancellations without reasonable notice (defined as at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled session) may result in the forfeiture of the scheduled session without refund or rescheduling.

You acknowledge that our advisory services are based on the information you provide to us and the assumptions we develop collaboratively. We are not responsible for outcomes that result from incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information provided by the Client.

4. Fees, Payment Terms, and Billing

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Brentova Advisory, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of our services, regardless of whether such damages are based on warranty, contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether Brentova Advisory has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall Brentova Advisory's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or any service agreement exceed the total fees paid by the Client to Brentova Advisory during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of whether the liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal or equitable theory.

Any reliance you place on the information or recommendations provided through our services is strictly at your own risk.

Nothing in our services constitutes legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. While we may provide guidance on topics related to company formation, investment readiness, and financial planning, such guidance is provided for informational and strategic purposes only. You should consult with qualified professionals in the relevant fields before making any legal, financial, tax, or investment decisions.

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing written notice to the other party in accordance with the termination provisions set forth in the applicable service agreement.

Brentova Advisory may terminate or suspend your access to our services immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach any provision of these Terms or any applicable service agreement. Upon termination, your right to use our services will cease immediately, and you must promptly return or destroy any Confidential Information of Brentova Advisory in your possession.

Termination of services does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay for services rendered prior to the effective date of termination. Any fees due for work completed prior to termination shall remain payable in accordance with the original payment terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
