We plug into your process with a clear mandate and a clear deliverable, from the first read on a target through value creation after close.
An operator's read on a target before you commit capital. We assess product maturity and defensibility, the real scalability of the go-to-market, competitive position, customer concentration, and the technical debt that shows up after close.
Sector-specific value creation for cybersecurity and identity portfolio companies: positioning, product roadmap, packaging, and competitive differentiation, with a value-creation plan tied to the thesis.
Thesis-driven target identification and market mapping for platforms and bolt-ons, then post-merger integration that actually captures synergy across technology, leadership, and operations.
Fractional CISO, CTO, and COO support for portfolio companies that need senior cyber and operating muscle without a full-time hire, including board-ready reporting and governance.
From growth plan to measurable results.
“Most portfolio companies have a growth strategy. Few have a commercial system capable of executing it.”
Alicia Dietsch · Fortis InnovatorsA joint practice with Alicia Dietsch, who led commercial operations at AT&T Business ($35B B2B). Board-level standing to challenge the growth plan, and the operational specificity to hold management to it, in one engagement, before performance diverges.
How it fits: the SME engagements above are the cyber-sector practice, for cybersecurity and identity companies. Growth Partners is the cross-sector commercial-execution practice, for any PE portfolio company whose growth plan is outrunning its commercial system.
Where growth plans break in execution: the commercial system across marketing, sales, pricing, and customer retention.
Where assumptions break under ownership: acquisition strategy, diligence, and value creation in cybersecurity and technology services.
Depth across the questions that decide a cyber investment, drawn on as each mandate requires.
Where technology, customer demand, and capital converge to create opportunity, and where they do not.
We align financial, operational, and market perspectives to find growth potential, improve scalability, and protect enterprise value.
Designing and evolving offerings that create competitive separation, operational efficiency, and durable value.
Industry specialization, operational insight, and technical depth across the transaction lifecycle.
Whether you are screening a target or scaling a portfolio company, we will scope the right engagement.
