For capital providers

An operating partner, not another adviser.

You assess where value can be created: before the deal and every quarter after it. We work the same three pillars from your side of the table.

The problem we solve

The value-creation plan and the people who can execute it are rarely the same firm.

A strategy house hands you a plan. A systems integrator hands you a quote. Neither is accountable for whether their deliverables fulfil the objective: we are.

The team that writes the strategy and operational thesis is the team that can be deployed into the portfolio company to deliver it: as a build; as a managed operations layer; or as an interim capability while a permanent team is hired.

Across the investment cycle

Where we plug in

PRE-DEAL

Commercial & operational diligence

An operator’s read on the target: whether the operating model can deliver the plan, what the technology estate should really cost, and where the execution risk sits.

DAY 1–100

Value-creation planning

A diagnostic converted into a sequenced, costed and owned roadmap, underpinned by a target operating model.

HOLD

Build & operate

Delivery capacity for platform builds, integrations after a bolt-on and managed back-office operations, across a portfolio rather than one asset at a time.

EXIT

Exit readiness

Equity story, model and data room reflecting the operating realities we help to deliver. Diligence then confirms the story instead of testing it.

The approach

Three ways in.

  • Deal-by-dealScoped diligence or a single portfolio company engagement.
  • Portfolio frameworkA named team, drawn down across investments as needed.
  • Operating partnerA retained relationship at fund level assisting with portfolio management and deployed where execution support is required.
