Elevate Leaders, Transform Results

Empowering Your Portfolio

In the high-stakes VC world, portfolio companies battle market shifts, talent shortages, and execution challenges. Founders and execs lead the charge, but mid-level managers—often inexperienced in scaling—struggle without support, creating leadership gaps that stall growth, erode value, and threaten returns.

Data highlights the risks: Globally, only 23% of employees are engaged, with 77% disengaged or worse. In startups' intense environments, this drives poor productivity, sales, satisfaction, and retention—hiking burn rates and missing milestones. Conversely, high engagement yields better results, lower costs, and competitive advantages, letting founders prioritize innovation and exits.

Here’s are two whitepapers that highlight the issue:
