Growth is in the technical field your portfolio companies already pay for.

A portfolio company with a 60% technical win rate and 100% net retention is leaving half its growth on the table at zero incremental CAC. We find it, company by company, and build the AI-first team that captures it.

This page is for you if you are a partner or operating partner at a venture firm with software companies in the portfolio. Looking for private equity?

What is at stake

Rule of 40, net retention, burn multiple, time to the next round. The technical field moves all four, and most boards never see its numbers.

Agents plus people

In every company we show where AI agents take work from headcount: account research, business cases, deployment runbooks, value reporting. The savings fund the growth investment, so the plan does not need new money.

How we help

  • Portfolio growth review. Win rate, net retention and expansion by company, benchmarked on one method, with the first three changes for each.
  • Technical field diligence. A two-week read on a target or portfolio company's presales, services and customer success, with the changes that move NDR and win rate first.
  • Interim and embedded leadership. An SVP-level operator for one to two quarters when a company needs a new technical field model and does not yet have the leader to build it.
  • Office hours. For portfolio CROs, CCOs and presales leaders.
