Questions Investors Ask Us
How does The Growth Syndicate work with PE and VC-backed companies?
We embed fractional leaders and execution teams directly into funded companies to turn marketing from cost center into revenue driver. Whether you're preparing for exit, hitting growth targets, or integrating acquisitions, we build marketing engines designed for predictable growth within your PE timeline.
What are your criteria for working with PE and VC-backed companies?
We work with 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.
How do you work across multiple portfolio companies?
We start with one portfolio company to prove impact, then scale successful strategies across others. We can work with multiple companies simultaneously and share best practices across your portfolio to maximize your total investment value.
How do you measure success for investors?
We focus on metrics that matter for exits: predictable revenue growth, customer acquisition cost improvements, lifetime value increases, and overall revenue quality. We provide regular reporting that shows progress toward valuation goals.
Can you help with due diligence on potential acquisitions?
Yes. We assess marketing capabilities, growth potential, and integration opportunities for companies you're considering. We help you understand what it would take to accelerate growth post-acquisition.
What's your typical engagement timeline?
We typically embed for 9-12 months per company, building growth engines that run independently. For portfolio-wide initiatives, we work on 12-18 month timelines depending on the number of companies and complexity.
How do you handle confidentiality across portfolio companies?
We maintain strict confidentiality between portfolio companies while sharing anonymized best practices and learnings. Each company gets dedicated team members who don't work across competing investments.
When is the right time to involve The Growth Syndicate?
The best time is when portfolio companies hit growth plateaus, need to prepare for exit within 18-24 months, or require post-acquisition integration. We're also valuable during due diligence to assess marketing capabilities before you invest, or right after acquisition to accelerate growth and integration. Early involvement maximizes our impact on portfolio value.
Can you present to our portfolio companies?
Yes. We regularly present to portfolio company leadership teams and boards to explain our approach and demonstrate how we'll accelerate their path to exit. We can tailor presentations to address specific company challenges and align with your investment thesis.
