Is Your Portfolio’s True Value Story Reaching the Right Audiences?
Your operations teams excel at analyzing metrics, implementing efficiencies, and driving bottom-line improvements. But are these achievements being communicated effectively to the market? Are your portfolio companies’ expanded capabilities and competitive advantages reaching the audiences who can open new sales opportunities, enable cross-selling to existing customers, and help forge valuable partnerships—all while influencing valuation?
Fine-tuned for Every Stage of Business
We’ve refined our approach across hundreds of engagements with companies at various stages in a business lifecycle. Our playbooks aren’t cookie cutter methodologies, rather, more like “implementation wizards.”
Early-Stage
Whether your portfolio company is newly launched or mighty but small (sub $5m EBIDTA) we establish foundational communications and marketing functions and quick wins that build momentum without requiring extensive infrastructure or headcount.
Growth-Stage
As your B2B technology portfolio companies hit their stride, our team supplements existing marketing capabilities with specialized expertise to accelerate enterprise customer acquisition and strengthen brand positioning in competitive markets.
Exit-Ready
We team with you to position your tech company by crafting and amplifying compelling growth narratives that resonate with potential buyers, strengthening brand perception. Our mission is to showcase a company’s full potential when it matters most.
Experience That Delivers Results for the Exit Plan
We are all former executives ourselves who have lived through many M&A experiences, and will seamlessly mesh with your own team of experts and your portfolio company’s resources. This enables us to:
- Collaborate effectively with CEOs and leadership teams without intermediate management
- Quickly assess communications gaps and opportunities specific to your company’s industry
- Deploy targeted strategies that deliver measurable results aligned with your critical business outcomes
- Scale our involvement up or down based on a company’s existing resources, with a clear turn-over plan
True to our name, we don’t just execute – we Kickstart. Whether that means launching programs from scratch or enhancing existing efforts, we build with transition in mind. Our engagement models include knowledge transfer and training to ensure your portfolio companies can maintain momentum when they’re ready to bring capabilities in-house.
