About Balanced Advisor

Helping founders and companies find their BALANCE
Problems Founders Face

Raising capital while running a business at the same time is difficult.
Hiring people (especially in California) is expensive.
Outsourcing is complicated and time-consuming
Why Work With Us

We take the fear out of the fundraising process by giving you the tools to succeed and give you a roadmap of what to expect.
We are less expensive and require less management than hiring an employee.
We offer the value of outsourcing plus the personal touch of a human relationship.
We already built the network, so you don't have to.

We help startups with the things we do best, so they can get back to doing what they do best; building their company.
