Portfolio operating system visualization for mid-market private equity firms
Fund Operations

One Specialist Team.
Better Decisions Across Every Portco.

Your outsourced value creation office — senior operators, AI-first, deployed at deal speed. Built for mid-market PE firms who need portfolio-wide operating capability without building a 100-person team.

The Mid-Market Gap

You Can't Build This Alone. You Shouldn't Have To.

Large-cap PE firms invest $15M+ annually in dedicated value creation teams — 50+ specialists, proprietary platforms, portfolio-wide intelligence systems. Your fund can't justify that headcount. But your LPs expect the same operational rigor, the same cross-portfolio leverage, the same measurable impact on EBITDA.

The result? Your 2–3 operating partners are stretched across 8–15 companies. They advise at the board level but can't execute in the trenches. Technology decisions get made without specialist expertise. Vendor negotiations happen company-by-company. Lessons learned at one portco never reach another.

Thin Coverage

Operating partners stretched across too many companies, forced into advisory-only mode when execution is what matters.

No Portfolio Intelligence

Each portco makes technology, vendor, and implementation partner decisions in isolation, leaving money on the table and repeating mistakes.

LP Pressure Rising

Fundraising increasingly requires demonstrable operational value creation capability. Board-level advice alone no longer satisfies.

How It Works

A Complete Value Creation Office. One Monthly Retainer.

Three integrated pillars that give your fund the same operating capability that $100B+ firms build in-house.

01

Specialist Portfolio Leadership

On-demand access to a senior bench of operators who have held the C-suite seats they advise on — CTO, CIO, AI Officer, CPO, CMO, COO. Not junior consultants. Full-stack operating executives available for governance, interim coverage, board participation, and hands-on execution across your entire portfolio.

02

Technology Intelligence Engine

A continuously updated view of software vendors, implementation partners, and emerging technology across your portfolio. We maintain a living guide — recommended, not recommended, under investigation — so every portco benefits from the collective intelligence of the entire fund.

03

Leadership Councils & Cross-Pollination

Regular functional leadership sessions that connect C-suite and operational leaders across your portfolio — technology, marketing, product, operations, and finance. Expert-led sessions on AI, cybersecurity, go-to-market, and operational excellence. Delivered for your fund at the right scale.

Portfolio-Wide Intelligence. Continuously Refined.

A four-step cycle that runs continuously. Every month, your portfolio gets smarter. Every vendor decision benefits from collective intelligence.

03

Publish & Leverage

Monthly guide. Recommended / Not Recommended / Under Investigation. Portfolio-wide negotiations.

04

Revalidate
