When Growth Depends on the Founder, Enterprise Value Suffers

Too many portfolio companies plateau because the founder is still the glue holding everything together. Without clear roles, aligned priorities, and a culture of execution — growth slows, leadership churn rises, and your investment underperforms.

These Sound Familiar?

  • Quarterly plans never get executed
  • Leadership teams aren’t aligned
  • Quarterly board reports feel like Groundhog Day
  • Founder is strong at a lot, but not quite enough

We’ve Helped 600+ Teams Build Businesses that Scale

We partner with PE firms and their portfolio companies to accelerate execution, install repeatable operating systems, and drive measurable results.

Tired of board meetings that feel like Groundhog Day? We eliminate the guesswork, create clarity across the team, and build the cadence and reporting that gets real progress on the table. We’re industry-agnostic and have worked across dozens of sectors — from tech to manufacturing to services — to help companies scale, fast.

THE AREAS WE FOCUS ON

Founder Dependency

Distributing responsibility by leveling up the team.

Strategy

Defining the direction of the organization.

Communication

Ensuring the flow of information to the team.

Engagement

Fostering involvement within the organization.

Accountability

Taking ownership of roles, metrics, and outcomes.

Productivity

Achieving measurable gains across the board.

 

Built, Scaled, Exited -
and Now They Coach

We give your portfolio companies two powerful assets: a strategic coach who’s scaled and exited their own business and an execution-focused accountability coach who ensures momentum and follow-through.

Petra doesn’t drop in for a workshop and disappear. We stay involved. Monthly founder<>coach check-ins, team touchpoints with the accountability coach, and real-time reviews of KPI dashboards, and meeting data to keep everything on track between sessions.

Together, our coaches align the team, implement scalable systems, and sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO to drive growth and enterprise value.

Our team assesses the portfolio company's strategy, communication, and execution to identify the biggest drivers of growth.

Step Three

Launch a Pilot

We work directly with the portfolio company’s leadership team to build a roadmap, install the right systems, and start executing with pace and discipline.
