We invest in founders to unlock growth
You've poured blood, sweat and years into your business. You've got happy customers ... But there aren't enough of them. You aren't growing fast enough to hit your targets.
Everything would be different if you unlocked demand.
Most companies try to raise traditional VC or PE money when they hit this point. Raise a round, start hiring sales and marketing roles, and try to generate more sales.
Unfortunately, it usually doesn't work.
Less than 1 in 10 marketing campaigns work, especially if the founder doesn't have hands-on experience running large scale demand gen programs. On average 27% of sales hires turn over in a year. More than 50% of reps will miss quota. Senior hires do no better - the average VP sales at a smaller company lasts less than 17 months.
No wonder building a demand generation and sales machine is so hard.
As fast as you build it, the team is changing. There's no consistency, and you're getting strategy whiplash as each new team member tries to put their stamp on the company by throwing out the work of the last one. That sales model you built? It didn't survive contact with reality.
We have a better model.
Skip the exhausting merry-go-round of fundraising, hiring, strategizing, firing, re-hiring, re-strategizing ... then fundraising again, because your last demand gen team didn't work out.
Our investments consist of expertise, manpower, capital, and relationships - developed collaboratively with you, and with your company's ultimate exit in mind.
Our investments can include much more than capital:
In other words, an investment that's as close as possible to installing a turn-key sales and marketing operation into your business.
For most founders, their zone of genius is in developing great products and keeping customers excited about it. You've got enough on your plate without having to learn every nuance of hiring and managing another team.
