Advisement Services -

The 12 Angels match entrepreneurs with experienced business professionals who volunteer their services. Our business professionals provide ongoing advice and guidance on key issues related to a company's growth and development. They work one-on-one or in teams of 2 or 3 with one company over a 6-12 month period on a set of specific issues related to the company's growth. Projects typically focus on one or more of the following: financing strategy, sales and marketing strategy, operations management, human resources and financial management.

Our entrepreneurs qualify for our business advisory services by meeting a set of specific requirements. Our criteria of selection include hiring a significant number of their employees from the recovery community or producing products or providing services that reduce the harm addiction causes in our society. These entrepreneurs work one-on-one with an advisor or team of advisors to address key business development objectives. Typically we ask for a commitment of 5-10 hours a month over a 6-12 month period.

 

The first project successfully handled by the 12 Angels was the opening of Wonderland Center in July.

Wonderland Center is a new residential treatment center located in Laurel Canyon. The opening included two parties hosting over 350 people from the sober community.

The center is fully operational, providing residential treatment, out-patient services, sober companions, and sober living accommodations. The Wonderland Treatment team brings together the best of LA's addiction prevention professionals, and nearly all of the 12 beds available were full within the first month.
