After the investment
Growth plans depend on sales hires.
After an investment, the plan usually needs a stronger sales leader or a bigger team, and quickly. A wrong hire can cost several quarters. We recruit sales leaders and teams for portfolio companies, check every candidate’s record and guarantee each placement, so the risk of a miss sits with us.
- Sales leaders for new and existing portfolio companies
- Teams built to the plan in the investment case
- One partner across several portfolio companies
