I'm Tom Neustedter, the owner of GNU Ventures here in Tucson. I work with owners and leaders of small and medium sized businesses to help them achieve greater business and personal success. A serial entrepreneur, I have a passion for working in and with small businesses, helping the business leaders drive growth in both sales and profits while developing plans to pursue new business opportunity. I also believe that growing the Tucson economy will be achieved by helping our local businesses successfully grow larger. 

As a certified business coach and consultant, I work monthly with the leaders of many businesses here in Tucson. For example, I work with a local General Contractor. We developed a growth plan several years ago, and along with regular annual business planning, he has profitably grown his business from $5M annualy to over $35M annually. 

During my 30-year business career, I've worked in both small company and large corporate environments, and as a result I've gained an understanding of how to effectively manage within a small business environment without disrupting the sense of urgency that drives success.
