Strengthen optionality across your portfolio.

Custom programs for VCs, accelerators, corporates, and ecosystem builders who want their founders to have options: liquidity events, growth capital, or founder freedom.

Four programs, one goal: founders with options

Portfolio Readiness Audit

A fund-level heatmap of your portfolio's finance and deal-readiness gaps. 2-4 weeks.

Portfolio Finance Program

Preferred FaaS terms for your portfolio companies. The VC Partnership Programme, productized.

Founder Transition Advisory

3-6 month engagements for founders navigating a step-back, sale, or leadership handover.

Workshops & Cohorts

Custom-designed with your team, delivered virtually or on-site.

How we work with institutions

  1. 1. Discovery. A confidential conversation about your portfolio, your priorities, and the outcomes you need.
  2. 2. Design. We propose a program shape and price built to your context, not a menu.
  3. 3. Delivery. Programs delivered virtually or on-site across the GCC. Founder progress tracked and reported at fund level.
