We believe a mix of expertise and experience is required to support Founders and their teams achieve accelerated growth.
With broad relationships and a network of specialists with a deep understanding of the growth ecosystem (including the requisite scar-tissue), we help Founders reach their next milestone – from startup to scaling and beyond.
Put simply, we aim to bring strategies to life. To create clear narratives. To create clear paths for executing GTM growth plans and to build robust, sustainable businesses.
To help Founders become investment or exit ready with a clearly articulated growth playbook.
Starting and building a business is difficult. But scaling a business is really hard.
Behind every scale-up’s ambition lies a set of hurdles that can stall growth and shake investor confidence.
From misaligned strategies to operational inefficiencies, we understand the roadblocks that stand in the way of scalable success.
Did you know?
20% of small businesses fail within the first year, rising to 60% within three years.
90% of startups fail overall, with 10% collapsing in year one and 70% failing between years two and five.
Exit timelines for scaling businesses range from 6 months to 5 years, influenced by size, industry, and exit strategy, be it a sale, merger, or succession.
On average, Private Equity (PE) portfolio companies, have a holding period of 5.8 years.
So there are many considerations when looking to push the accelerator and scale your business.
Unpredictable Revenue Streams
Lack of consistent and scalable revenue makes forecasting and planning challenging for founders and investors alike.
Founder Scalability, Team Capacity and Capability
Founders often struggle to adapt their roles as the business grows, impacting leadership effectiveness and operational efficiency. They often fail to build their teams skills or exploit exisiting capacity.
High Burn Rate with Limited Cash Flow
Rapid cash burn without adequate cash inflows puts startups at risk of running out of funds before reaching profitability.
Inadequate GTM Strategy
Poorly defined go-to-market strategies lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities in competitive markets.
Weak Product-Market Fit
Without a solid product-market fit, startups face high churn and low customer engagement, threatening long-term viability. Money can then be burned chasing sales and marketing to the wrong customer segments.
Pricing & Monetisation Challenges
Ineffective pricing strategies undermine revenue potential and make customer acquisition costly and unsustainable.
Misaligned (or no) AI and Technology Strategy
Underestimating the potential of AI and other new technology innovations, and failing to embed them across the business leads to misallocated resources, lost innovation opportunities, and difficulty in scaling data-driven capabilities.
Insufficient Implementation Capability & Agility
Inflexible and inconsistent processes (if any) and limited change management capacity stall promising ideas, delay market responses, and erode competitive momentum.
