12 hires
Enterprise and commercial sales build-out across two years, including a director-level appointment and a run of major account executives hired into named territories.
6 hires
Strategic account executive cohort delivered inside a single hiring cycle, keeping ramp aligned to the plan rather than staggered across quarters.
5 hires
A full go-to-market layer in under six months: new logo AEs, account management and the SDR leadership to build pipeline behind them.
5 hires
Sales cohort hiring through a growth phase, with a consistent assessment standard applied to every seat so attainment was comparable across the team.
4 hires
International AE hiring across EMEA for an infrastructure software vendor, sourced against a mapped competitor set rather than inbound applicants.
What We Do for Funds
Most funds carry the same problem in several companies at once: revenue plans built on headcount that has not been hired yet. We work at fund level so hiring standards, assessment and commercials stay consistent wherever the need appears.
One partner across multiple portfolio companies, with shared market mapping, agreed commercial terms and consistent assessment standards.
Pre or post-investment review of a target's revenue team: quota coverage, attainment distribution, ramp times, tenure risk and leadership gaps.
Hiring plans mapped to the value creation plan, sequenced by quarter, with cost per hire and expected productivity modelled up front.
Independent read on incumbent GTM leaders against the next stage of growth, benchmarked to comparable scale-ups in your sector.
By Stage
First sales hires, founder-led selling handover and the initial pipeline engine. We build repeatable motion before you scale headcount.
Layered GTM leadership, segment specialisation and international expansion. This is where hiring mistakes cost the most.
Professionalising a GTM function ahead of the next round or an exit: forecast discipline, MEDDPICC rigour and true pipeline coverage.
GTM Diligence
Before or shortly after an investment, we give an independent read on whether the go-to-market organisation can carry the number in the plan, and what it would take to close the gap.
Model the cost of a slow hireHow We Engage
A dedicated, mapped search of the full market with structured assessment against the competencies the next stage demands. Shortlist within 14 days, with continuous pipelining until the offer is signed.
Fund-level terms mean every portfolio company draws on the same agreement, and we share market intelligence across searches rather than starting cold each time.
An empty quota-carrying seat leaks revenue every selling day. We shortlist in 14 days and keep pipelining behind the finalists.
The same assessment framework across every portfolio company, so board packs compare like for like.
Our in-house GTM CRM tracks live hiring signals across software vendors, so advice to the board is current, not anecdotal.
FAQ
Whether it is one critical leadership hire or a hiring plan across several companies, a short call is usually enough to scope it.
