Questions PE-backed companies often ask us

What are your criteria for working with PE-backed companies?
We work with PE-backed companies that have strong product-market fit and at least €1m ARR. We're ideal for companies hitting growth plateaus, preparing for exit, integrating acquisitions, or needing to demonstrate predictable revenue growth. You must be ready to move fast and implement changes rapidly.
Can you handle complex industries and technical audiences?
We thrive in complex B2B industries that others avoid. Whether you’re in IT services, manufacturing, construction, AI, enterprise software, biotech, we understand how to market to technical decision-makers and navigate long, complex sales cycles. We’ve never shied away from technical complexity.
How do you work with our existing marketing team?
We start by assessing your current team and their capabilities, then make recommendations on the best path forward. We typically embed alongside your team and build their capabilities while we execute. When the right people are in place, we make them more effective and train them to run growth engines independently. When changes are needed, we help you make the right hiring decisions.
How do you report progress to our board?

We provide clear, revenue-focused reporting that shows marketing's direct impact on growth targets. We can present directly to your board or provide materials for your presentations.

How quickly can you impact our growth?

We typically deliver positive momentum within 60 days and measurable marketing impact within 6 months. For companies with longer sales cycles, we focus on leading indicators like qualified pipeline, engagement metrics, and conversion improvements. Our goal is to help you exceed your next board meeting's growth targets.
