We partner with founders and leadership teams navigating the hardest phase of growth. When complexity outpaces clarity.
The Scale-Up Reality
Growth creates new challenges that tests even the strongest organizations. As companies expand, friction emerges across every function. Decision-making slows under the weight of increased stakeholders and processes. Execution fragments as teams lose alignment and clarity of purpose.
Meanwhile, capital expectations rise dramatically. Scale fails when strategy, execution and capital drift apart. The companies that thrive are those that recognize these symptoms early and address them systematically.
CRITICAL CHALLENGES
When Growth Becomes Friction
Growth Creates Friction
Rapid expansion introduces organizational drag, communication breakdowns and competing priorities that slow momentum.
Decisions Slow Down
What once took hours now takes weeks. Bureaucracy creeps in as layers multiply and accountability becomes diffused across functions.
Execution Fragments
Teams operate in silos. Strategic initiatives lose coherence. The gap between plan and reality widens as coordination costs escalate.
Capital Expectations Rise
Investors demand predictable growth and clear pathways to profitability. The margin for error shrinks as burn rates and valuations increase pressure.
THE OPPORTUNITY COST
The Cost of Waiting
60%
Scale-ups fail
Six in ten venture-backed companies fail to reach their next funding milestone due to execution gaps during the scale phase
18mo
Average runway
Most companies have less than 18 months to prove they can make money and keep growing before running out of cash forces tough decisions
3x
Valuation impact
Companies that scale efficiently command 3x higher valuations than
those that achieve similar revenue
through inefficient growth strategies
The window for strategic intervention is narrow. Waiting until symptoms become crises dramatically reduces optionality and increases risk.
Early action preserves enterprise value and competitive positioning.
