1. THE LOCKSLEY GROUP
We Define Ourselves By Our Three Principles: Young. Disruptive. Innovative
We are a syndicate of student entrepreneurs working with an experienced advisory board
to bring the best ideas to fruition. Our ideas stem from problems we experience everyday
while engaging with our peers, and observing of our surroundings. We support student
entrepreneurs in their pursuit of building ventures while they are receiving a foundational
liberal arts and business education.
The Locksley Group aims to mentor younger students to help accomplish their
personal and professional goals through advice that has been given to us through our
advisory board of industry experts. Each team of entrepreneurs is constantly evolving
as we embrace lean start up technology. As students we are continuously asking for
advice while we make strides in making the impossible, possible for everyday
consumers.
2. We believe that the more energy we spend on connecting the dots between what we
learn in the classroom, and our ideas, we come one step closer to creating products
and services of value and that can last the test of time. The students who have joined
our consortium are transforming their lives and business acumen while educating
themselves in a variety of fields.
The students that comprise The Locksley Group represent high schools and
colleges throughout New England and California. Together, we can grow a business
better than any one of us can on our own. As students, we meet regularly to learn
from one another to understand what it takes to be a successful person and create a
successful business. Our challenges and accomplishments give each other insight to
further sharpen our vision as we walk the uncertain path of entrepreneurship. Each
member is an ambitious student, who has a strong understanding of the relationship
between time and risk; further willing to devote their time to create a venture with
other students that will make a global impact.
Our Advisory Board
The goal of our entrepreneurial syndicate is to have an advisory
board of industry experts that can guide us to success and help us
extract the lessons of failure. Further, the advisory board will be
given the ability to give seed investment in an amount as little as
one hundred dollars or any amount that represents your
confidence in the success of our venture.
The advisory board will receive bi-monthly updates on the
progress of all ventures. This update will come in the form of a
formal business plan, progress report, and six-week outlook on the
product. Further, we will want to speak with our industry experts at
least once a month for thirty minutes at a time, as we know your time is valuable. This
board of advisors is very important to us as we will want your advice throughout this
journey. Further, your knowledge will be needed in order for us to effectively enhance our
ventures in all aspects of the business.
Mission & Vision
Since the Inception of The Locksley Group, LLC in October of 2014, the initial
founders and myself held a mission that was to cultivate ideas that filled the need of
everyday life. Let me give you a little background on the history of The Locksley
Group. Initially, myself and six other students, representing three continents, 4
countries, and diverse upbringings came together to form a syndicate of student
entrepreneurs to build a business that would operate in each home country, allowing
E F F I C I E N C E
3. for intercontinental trade, information flow, and global
innovation ahead of other firms given that our base was not just
New York, or Boston, however we held a home base in a number
of different countries that would allow us to move faster than the
public market and private enterprises that were currently on top of
the world. The name— The Locksley Group— had been thought
up years prior while I was still attending Brunswick, holding
meaning that is bigger than just one company, but representative
of multiple smaller firms that are individually disrupting
industries with innovative products by individuals that are
younger than the industry tycoons that were previously leading
by example and producing unheard technologies. Further, this
was a premature view on how we, The Locksley Group, were going to change the
industry for always and for better. Additionally, having grown up admiring the works
of Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Carl Icahn & industry creators such as
Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, JP Morgan, and Mayer Rothschild. These
individuals have extremely ability to disrupt, further creating or recreating industries
entirely.
Once having read and understood the works of each individual, dissolving the
previous company and currently restructuring the entity as a Delaware LLC, the
vision quickly became to create a firm that evangelized the ideas I would create that
were catered to a variety of industries and business types. The Locksley Group
cultivates solutions within product innovation, asset management, data software &
security, energy & environmental, entertainment, real estate, management consulting,
legal counseling, book keeping and personal financial services, and human capital
management & internal growth. As it will become quickly referred to, the firm is
extremely unique with individual silos, specialists, and youth employee development to
ensure the future of the firm itself, and to further progressive education in business
and idea generation & execution.
