Frameworks and fire to scale

We build, buy and back companies with exceptional partners, then together leverage frameworks and fire to break the glass ceilings that hold us back, generating compounding success.

Growth is a staircase of broken ceilings.

A glass ceiling is invisible, and you cannot break what you cannot see. Seeing it is the first half of the work. Then comes the breaking, which is harder. That cycle, see it then break it, is the thing we are best at, and it is why success follows.

Ceilings broken

  1. 1

    Hiring a leadership team that will drive to results

    The first team got here by doing what you asked well. The next one has to decide things you will never see. Most founders hire for the job they can describe, and then keep making the decisions anyway, which teaches the new team to wait.

  2. 2

    Raising the next round of funding

    The round is rarely a fundraising problem. It is whether the last twelve months read as a company that compounds, and that is settled long before anyone opens a deck.

  3. 3

    Operational excellence to reach profitability

    Growth hides the leaks. Profitability is not a cost exercise: it is finding the parts of the machine that were never actually built, and building them while the machine is running.

Hundreds more.

Product strategy. Pricing. Go-to-market strategy. Growth strategy. R&D. Sales recruiting, compensation and hiring. Among many others, because every company meets its own.

How we break a glass ceiling

Find it. Show it and convince you it is real. Incredible heat and a framework. Thousands of reps until it is part of you. Then we fade.

How we meet

Some I bring together.

A thesis and a founder, in either order.

Sometimes the thesis comes first, sometimes the person. The work is making them meet, and then building together from day one.

Some ask me in.

A founder with a real company, through the network.

An established company, a founder met through the network, and an ask: take a meaningful part in the journey and the ceilings ahead.

Some grow from trust.

Deep trust and investment, in either order.

Trust then investment, or investment then trust. Either way it ends the same place: the advisor the founder calls first.
