Success Stories
Gama-Go
Over its 10 years in business, GAMA-GO has become popular for its well-designed, cartoon-inspired clothing and products. With a dozen employees working out of the company’s location in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, GAMA-GO had strong sales but never had made a profit and continued to grapple with cash-flow challenges, leaving owners and employees alike in a vulnerable position.
After doing some research, Co-Founder Greg Long learned of our services to build capacity for small businesses. He and his team moved directly to working one-on-one with an advisor who “helped us drill down on the hard numbers, review projections, pricing and product shipments.” Greg notes, “Our volunteer advisor provided us with reliable, verifiable and high-level advice.
After working with us for just nine months, GAMA-GO – for the first time in its history – ended the year profitably. Since then they’ve seen 15% job growth.
