Know what's blocking your portfolio — before it becomes a problem.

Two outputs. Immediate clarity.

Every Portfolio Scan produces a per-company brief and a portfolio-level summary — ready to share with your team or directly with founders.

01

Per-company brief

A concise written analysis for each company: where they're going, what's blocking their growth, and what kind of advisor would move the needle — including advisor profile, background, and search tags ready to act on.

02

Portfolio summary

A cross-portfolio view: recurring bottlenecks, shared advisor opportunities, and patterns across your companies. A governance document you can reference in board meetings and LP updates.

03

Priority shortlist

The top 5 companies where advisor engagement would have the clearest and most immediate impact — whether they're closing to funding, entering a new market, or stuck in growth. If you act on nothing else, act on these.


Three questions.
One clear picture.

Each brief is built around the same structure — so the advisor recommendation feels like a natural conclusion, not a sales pitch.

1

Growth priorities

Where is this company trying to go in the next 12 months? Fundraise, expand internationally, scale revenue?

2

Bottlenecks & challenges

What is actually slowing them down? A missing network, a broken sales motion, no presence in the target market?

3

Advisor recommendation

What kind of advisor would help, what background and network they need, and what they would concretely do for the company.

Urgent
Growth priorities
DACH market entry planned for Q3. Product is ready and priced for enterprise. Need pipeline traction in Germany and Austria within 6 months.
Bottlenecks & challenges
Zero local presence or network in DACH. No German-speaking team member. Previous outbound attempts have failed to open enterprise buyer relationships.
Advisor recommendation
An advisor with a strong enterprise buyer network in Germany — ideally with direct relationships at mid-to-large industrials or SaaS buyers. Should be able to make 5–10 warm introductions and advise on local sales approach.
