We know the scaling phase
Built on more than a decade of building and leading companies and our research on 500+ EU scale-ups, we know the milestones, growing pains and interventions that work.
Portfolio Support
Leadership support for European VCs and their portfolio.
We work with European VC and PE funds, before they invest and after they close. We have run due diligence for funds active in e.g. Sustainability and Circularity, Fintech, Greentech, Healthcare, Education, Agritech and more. We also offer longer-term support for scale-up leaders and their teams.
What sets us apart: operating experience inside scale-ups, and a benchmark of 500+ European scale-ups.

Transformation from within
We have run scale-ups as leaders, founded companies and spent a decade in organisations before coaching the people who lead them.
We diagnose first
Support is tailored to each company's personality and phase. We start with a diagnostic, so every session and intervention addresses root causes and is fully tailored to fit your needs.
We work with integrity and intimacy
Working together means going to challenging, deep and brave places, always with your growth and best interest at heart.
We bring distinct lenses
We bring a deep understanding of people and organisational dynamics, from psychology, investment banking, systems thinking and corporate anthropology, with solid business-building experience.
We commit to results
We feel a real urgency to help impact-driven leaders scale their businesses, because our future depends on it.
