Collette Bowers Zinn is an education entrepreneur who recently launched a nonprofit dedicated to closing the diversity gap in Los Angeles area private schools.
Collette, a long-time private school educator and educational consultant, created Private School Axis, seeking to establish an innovative approach to partnership with Los Angeles area independent schools to open up new avenues for students and families of color to access paths to success while navigating the independent school system.
Kasvaa partnered with Axis to help create a business plan to serve three fundamental purposes. First, the business plan would be used to align the founder and the board on their purpose and operational plan. Second, the business plan would be used as a planning guide for the next three years of operations. Finally, it serves as a fundraising tool for the Axis Board of Directors and Collette as they raise resources to support the mission of the organization.
Private School Axis has cemented partnerships with 20+ Los Angeles private schools that will work with Axis to promote and sustain cultural diversity via the collaborative designing, implementing and strengthening of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and programs within their schools. The founder and Board of Directors are actively raising funds for 2021 operations.

- Collette Bowers Zinn - CEO, Private School Axis
“Kasvaa helped Arctic 7 with our initial M&A strategy and helped us acquire a great company that we are currently folding into our A7. Kasvaa operated as our ‘virtual’ Corp-dev group and were instrumental in the development of our general plans.”

—-Mark Rizzo, COO, Arctic 7
“Kasvaa helped us build a financial model that was sustainable and long-lasting; it was never stagnant. It’s something that’s helped my client successfully build out their organization and continue to make decisions so they really know where to go.”

-Apollo Emeka - Strategy & Leadership Coach, Apollo Strategy
“I really like the flexibility that Kasvaa principals bring to the table. There’s no one solution to every problem. We’re selling an intangible item and we’ve pushed them out of their comfort zone a few times. The ability to learn, adapt, and flex with us has been quite amazing.”

— Hugh Sinclair, CEO - Logisitcs for Hire
“When I heard Kasvaa was hanging their own shingle, I knew we had to call them again. They did such great work with the launch of Vindeo and really became a partner for our company. Kasvaa's team has the rare capability of combining financial rigor and strategic thought with the type of creative process that is necessary for all brands.”

- Paul DeLuca - Partner, Meritus Capital, Vindeo
“I love how knowledgeable yet personable Kasvaa is. It’s like doing hard work with a really good friend whom you enjoy spending time with despite the work being hard.”

- Collette Bowers Zinn - CEO, Private School Axis
"When I sit down with Kasvaa, I know I get someone who is part of my team. They treat my issues like they are the most important issues in the world."

- Apollo Emeka, Founder - Apollo Strategy

Business Plan. Have two single words ever contained more meaning?
After helping hundreds of businesses with their plan, we realized that the business needs can range from:
-
Go-to-Market Strategy. Entering a new market? Launching a new product or business? You need a plan of attack that utilizes the insights of a cross-functional bench of industry and functional experts. You can hire a full team or you can rent ours during the launch.
-
Investor Materials. Investors are bombarded with “unicorn ideas” every day. What will make your business stand out from the noise? Our business planning experts create tight, compelling stories that get results.
Need a team to launch the business? Or just give you the pitch deck and projections? Either way, we have you covered.
