Results in quarters, not years
We help PE portfolio companies hit growth targets before the next board meeting.
30-minute call. We will tell you if we can help.
How we operate
Principles that guide every engagement.
90-day engagements
Scoped to your board cycle. Show progress before the next quarterly review.
Embedded execution
We work alongside your team, not from a slide deck. Daily and weekly check-ins, clear ownership.
Constraint-first
We find the 2-3 things actually limiting growth and focus there. No boil-the-ocean roadmaps.
Built to stick
Your team owns the results when we leave. We document, train, and hand off cleanly.

Situation
Strong product, but the sales cycle had stretched to 9 months. New logo acquisition had stalled. The PE sponsor needed to see pipeline improvement before the next board meeting.
What we did
Rebuilt the sales process from qualification to close. Cut the demo-to-proposal gap from weeks to days. Restructured comp to reward speed.
Outcome
Sales cycle shortened significantly. Pipeline value increased within the quarter. Deals that had been stuck for months started closing.
Why 90 days?
Private equity firms report to their limited partners (LPs) quarterly. Board meetings happen every 90 days. That is the rhythm we work to.
Find the constraint
Most companies know something is wrong. Few have isolated exactly what. We spend two weeks talking to your team, looking at data, and identifying the 2-3 things actually limiting growth.
Fix it together
We do not hand you a report and leave. We work alongside your team to implement changes. Weekly check-ins keep everyone accountable. Problems get solved in days, not months.
Make it stick
Changes that disappear when consultants leave are worthless. We document what worked, train your team, and make sure the improvements continue after we are gone.

Schedule a CallThe private equity consulting problem
Most consultants quote 12-18 month timelines. Your board meets quarterly. That math does not work.
Days to show progress
PE firms evaluate portfolio performance quarterly. Waiting 18 months for results is not an option.
Earnings (EBITDA) pressure
Exit multiples depend on consistent margin improvement. We focus on changes that show up in financials.
Lean teams
Portfolio companies run lean. You need people who execute, not more slide decks to review.
How we work
No 200-page reports. No steering committees. Three phases, 90 days.
Weeks 1-2: Diagnosis
We identify what is actually limiting growth. Not a 90-day study. A focused look at the 2-3 things that matter.
Weeks 3-10: Execution
We work alongside your team to implement changes. Daily and weekly check-ins, clear ownership, visible progress.
Weeks 11-12: Handoff
Your team owns the results. We document what worked and make sure it sticks after we leave.
Where we typically find value
Every portfolio company is different. But from our experience, these areas tend to have the most impact on the timeline PE firms care about.
