For investors and boards
A growth partner you can plug in.
Founder-led businesses often have the product and the customers but uneven growth. We work alongside the founder to find what is holding the business back, set the plan and drive the marketing and strategic activity for growth, with clear reporting for the people who back them.
30 minutes. Confidential. No obligation.
Why it matters
The value is in the business. The growth is often in the gaps.
Founders are stretched
The founder is the product, the sales lead and the strategist. Marketing and growth planning get done when there is time, not when the plan needs it.
Activity is not aligned
Strategy, marketing and sales each do a sensible job, but the market hears three slightly different stories, and spend does not always follow what works.
Visibility is limited
Investors and boards see revenue after the fact. They rarely see the pipeline, the plan behind it, or what is being done about the gaps.
A full time hire is slow and costly
A senior marketing or growth hire takes months to find and settle in, and is often more than a business at this stage needs every day of the week.
How we plug in
Defined scope, a clear rhythm, and the founder in charge.
Step one
Introduction
A confidential conversation with you, then with the founder, to agree what good looks like.
Step two
Growth Diagnostic
We See: a fixed scope review of positioning, marketing and pipeline, ending in a 90 day plan.
Step three
Plan agreed
Priorities, owners and measures signed off with the founder, and shared with you.
Step four
Partnership
We Show: deliver and report each month, with specialists brought in as the plan needs them.

Questions
What investors usually ask.
Who does the work?
Hannah Hughes leads every engagement, with two decades in senior commercial leadership roles. Specialists from our trusted network join where the plan calls for them.
How do you work with the founder?
Alongside, never around. The founder keeps ownership of the business and the decisions. We bring structure, senior experience and delivery, and keep you informed through an agreed reporting rhythm.
What do you need from us as the investor?
An introduction to the founder, agreement on what success looks like, and the reporting you would like to receive. We then act as your partner for the portfolio company, working alongside the founder and keeping you informed. We handle the rest.
Is the work confidential?
Yes. We treat everything we learn about a business as confidential, and handle personal data in line with our Privacy Policy.
What size of business do you work with?
Established, founder-led businesses, typically turning over £1m or more, in sectors where we can add commercial value.
