Start with the work.

Listen
Tell us what you are working on, what is going well, and what needs to change. We want to understand your goals before discussing a role for 611 Tropico.
Understand the business
Look at customers, products, margins, people, and day-to-day operations. For a new venture, start with the customer problem, the proposed offer, and a credible plan for making it work.
Define the contribution
Be specific about what each person brings: operating work, commercial experience, relationships, capabilities, assets, or capital where applicable. We should be able to explain why working together makes sense.
Consider the structure
A commercial agreement, a joint venture, a minority position, shared ownership, or an acquisition may be appropriate. No single structure is the starting assumption.
Set clear expectations
Agree on responsibilities, decision-making, economics, timing, and how to handle changes. Put the arrangement in writing before making commitments.
Do the work
Keep communication direct and review progress against what was agreed. The relationship should be useful to the business, with responsibilities people can realistically fulfill.
