We help investors, founders, and portfolio companies bridge strategy and execution with speed, creating fundamental technology infrastructure improvements, proprietary data assets, and scalable AI applications that drive EBITDA impact and multiple expansion from deal closing through successful exit.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about strategy & portfolio value creation

Value creation is the process of identifying, planning, and executing changes that increase enterprise value post-investment through commercial growth, tech optimization, data monetization, and operational improvements. Ideally, it should begin during due diligence to identify opportunities before acquisition, ensuring faster activation post-close and alignment with exit goals.

We combine high-level strategic thinking with tech-enabled execution and digital expertise. Our work integrates commercial strategy with data assets, AI implementation, and technology infrastructure improvements. We're built for deal-timed, insight-rich delivery that's always grounded in measurable EBITDA outcomes and multiple expansion.

Companies at any digital maturity level can benefit. For digital laggards, we focus on foundational infrastructure and quick-win automation opportunities. For advanced companies, we implement sophisticated AI solutions, data monetization strategies, and advanced analytics that create defensible competitive advantages and sustainable value creation.

We track both operational KPIs (revenue growth, margin improvement, customer acquisition costs) and strategic value drivers (proprietary data assets, AI implementation, digital ecosystem maturity) that directly influence EBITDA and exit multiples. Our methodology positions these capabilities as fundamental value creation levers, not just support functions.

We work with both investors and management teams, including founder-led businesses preparing for growth rounds, corporates planning carve-outs, and PE-backed portfolio companies at any stage of the investment lifecycle. Our approach adapts to different ownership structures while maintaining focus on measurable value creation.

We're built for agile deployment and can mobilize tailored teams within days. Our value creation roadmaps prioritize initiatives based on implementation complexity, time-to-value, and alignment with exit windows, ensuring the most impactful improvements are completed before potential sale processes while maintaining operational continuity.
