What we hear from PE firms

🎯

Pipeline misalignment

Portfolio companies hitting product milestones but missing ARR targets and growth momentum.

⚙️

Inflexible marketing teams

Teams built pre-investment that lack the agility and seniority to scale post-acquisition.

👤

No senior leadership

Junior teams and cost-focused agencies with no accountability to your revenue targets.

📉

Zero marketing visibility

No clear line of sight into what marketing is contributing to pipeline or EBITDA.

Use Cases

Where we add the most value

📉

Underperforming Portfolio Company

Pipeline collapsed post-acquisition. CAC is 3x industry benchmark. Marketing is expensive and inefficient. We deploy in 30 days, rebuild the demand gen engine, and restore pipeline predictability within 90 days.

🔄

Post-Acquisition Integration

Two overlapping marketing teams, conflicting GTM strategies, incompatible tools and data. We consolidate, unify messaging, align tools, and launch a single integrated go-to-market within 90 days.

🎯

Pre-Exit Acceleration

12–18 months to exit. We improve the marketing metrics acquirers scrutinise most: CAC payback, NRR, organic pipeline %, and customer acquisition velocity.

What PE partners say

★★★★★

They embedded one of their senior marketers into our company within 30 days. Within 6 months, we'd rebuilt pipeline predictability, cut CAC by 40%, and improved NRR by 15 points. It was like hiring a $280K CMO for half the cost and without the hiring risk.
