Growth & New Ventures
We partner with CEOs to identify, design, and launch new growth businesses that meaningfully expand long-term enterprise valuation. Our work focuses on building differentiated growth engines, rooted in strategic fit, sound economics, and clear paths to scale, while maintaining capital discipline and execution rigor. We apply a portfolio-management philosophy so that investment is capital efficient and strategically coherent.
Most organizations pursue growth opportunistically. We help CEOs manage growth deliberately, focusing capital and leadership attention on the opportunities most likely to become material drivers of enterprise value.
Build a Portfolio of Growth Businesses to Expand Enterprise Valuation
Sustained enterprise valuation growth requires more than isolated bets—it requires a disciplined portfolio of growth initiatives, managed with capital efficiency and strategic intent.
Why Growth and New Ventures Matter
As core businesses mature, enterprise valuation increasingly reflects the credibility and quality of future growth. Yet many organizations underperform by over-investing in too many ideas, under-investing in the best ones, or failing to scale successful ventures.
We help CEOs treat growth as a managed portfolio—ensuring that new ventures are funded, governed, and scaled in ways that maximize long-term value while protecting capital.
Where we focus
Growth Strategy
Building a coherent, value-oriented growth portfolio
We help CEOs identify and prioritize organic and adjacent growth opportunities using a portfolio lens.
Identify growth opportunities across core extensions, adjacencies, and new businesses
Evaluate opportunities based on strategic fit, economics, scalability, and valuation impact
Balance the growth portfolio across risk levels and time horizons
Align leadership around a focused, capital-efficient growth agenda
New Business Models
Designing scalable models with clear paths to profitability and valuation growth
New growth requires new ways of creating and capturing value. We help CEOs design business models that can scale.
Design and validate differentiated value propositions and monetization models
Test assumptions around customer demand, unit economics, and scalability
Define platforms, adjacencies, and ecosystems that extend enterprise advantage
Build credibility with investors around long-term valuation potential
Venture Build & Launch

We help leadership teams move from concept to operating business—without losing focus on value creation.

Growth Portfolio
After clarifying enterprise strategy, a leadership team sought to accelerate growth without reintroducing fragmentation or diluted focus. The organization had no shortage of ideas—but limited agreement on which opportunities truly fit the strategy.
We helped the executive team translate strategic direction into a disciplined growth portfolio. Through structured working sessions, we identified priority “where to play” themes, shaped a small number of high-potential initiatives, and defined MVPs with clear value propositions and execution roadmaps. Each initiative was explicitly tied to enterprise priorities and existing capabilities. We helped the team drive toward concrete, explicit next steps to take action immediately.
The outcome was a focused, actionable growth agenda—allowing leadership to invest with conviction, reduce experimentation fatigue, and pursue innovation that reinforced long-term strategy rather than competing with it.
Client Impact
New Venture Creation
A leadership team identified an adjacent-market opportunity with the potential for outsized impact—but one requiring a fundamentally different business model, partnership strategy, and capital approach than the core business.
We partnered with the CEO and founding team to design the venture from the ground up. This included defining the strategic intent, clarifying where to compete and how to win, identifying key value inflection milestones, and shaping a partnership-led execution strategy. We also supported early operating model design and board communication to ensure alignment and momentum.
The result was a venture built for focus and credibility—positioned to attract partners, secure funding, and scale deliberately rather than prematurely.
