What does a growth consultant for a PE portfolio company actually do?
The useful version works inside the portco’s accounts: fixes tracking, runs paid search and pages, and sends leadership one weekly read on what moved. Levered pilots that at one company, then rolls the same playbook across the portfolio.
It is not a diagnostic deck. It is the work, with one operator accountable for it.
What the engagement covers
Most portcos have the same gaps: tracking that broke in a migration, ads nobody fully trusts, and no single read on pipeline. We fix measurement first, then run the channels that should move.
Operating partners get one weekly narrative per company. The portco team keeps the dashboards, tracking and playbooks after we leave.
Tracking fixed first
Pixels, conversion events, phone and CRM handoff checked before budget moves.
Paid search and pages
Campaigns and landing pages per product or location, tested against control.
One weekly read
What changed, what it did, what is next, in language leadership uses.
Works with existing vendors
We agree who owns what. Growth II and Growth Lead include vendor oversight.
Rolling it across the portfolio
Start with one portfolio company. Prove the playbook there. Then roll it to companies with the same gaps, with shared definitions so results are comparable across the fund. Growth Lead covers the most companies at once.
Who this is for
It fits
- Operating partners who want execution, not another memo.
- Portcos with paid spend and a live lead or order path.
- Funds with several companies facing the same measurement or channel gaps.
It does not fit
- A one-time commercial diligence report. That is a consulting project.
- Portcos with no budget to run anything yet.

How it works
- 01
Connect the accounts.
Ads, analytics, site, CRM, whatever is live. The work happens in your systems.
- 02
Week one is real work.
The first week is free and scoped to low-risk changes, so the work starts inside your stack instead of in a slide deck.
- 03
Pick a plan.
Every plan is the full stack. Plans change how many services move at once and how often you get a strategy call.
- 04
One project is one service.
Setup, ongoing work, measurement and iteration. Inside it, ask for anything. A new service is a new project. Swaps are free.
