Invest in growth, not in promises.
Your startups have the product. They lack the message. Fast Growth accelerates your portfolio value by structuring what's missing between product and market.
TL;DR
Fast Growth Advisors helps investors — VCs, growth equity funds, family offices — accelerate the growth of their B2B portfolio companies. The primary lever: messaging. Clear positioning shortens sales cycles, credibilises international expansion, and increases exit valuation. The approach: targeted diagnostic, structured messaging framework, go-to-market activation. Result: portfolio companies that go from "good product" to "visible category leader."
Why aren't your B2B portfolio companies growing as fast as expected?
You invested in solid technology. The founding team is competent. The product works. Yet growth has stalled. Sales reps struggle to pitch. International expansion is behind schedule. The next round is approaching and the metrics aren't there.
The problem is almost never the product. It's what happens between the product and the market.
Unclear messaging has direct consequences on valuation. Prospects don't understand the differentiation. Partners can't position the offer. Analysts classify the startup in the wrong category. And at exit time, the potential acquirer sees a good product — not a category leader.
What are the signs of a messaging problem in a portfolio company?
Sales cycles lengthen for no technical reason.
Prospects ask for extra demos, time to "think it over." It's not indecision. It's a message that doesn't create urgency.
International expansion stalls.
The startup opened a London or New York office. Local sales reps can't pitch. What worked in France doesn't translate.
Marketing generates traffic but not pipeline.
Vanity metrics are green — traffic, MQLs, downloads. But the lead-to-opportunity ratio stays low. The message attracts but doesn't convert.
Valuation plateaus despite a strong product.
The product is solid, existing customers are happy. But the startup isn't perceived as a leader. It remains "one option among several."
Ready to accelerate your portfolio's value?
The difference between a good product and a category leader often comes down to one word: clarity. We start with a conversation — not a 47-slide audit.
Frequently asked questions about investor advisory
How does Fast Growth help investors accelerate portfolio value?
Fast Growth works on the most underestimated lever in B2B portfolios: messaging. Clear positioning shortens sales cycles, credibilises international expansion, and positions the startup as a category leader — three factors that directly impact valuation.
At what maturity stage does Fast Growth engage with a portfolio company?
Primarily post-Series A, when the startup has a working product but struggles to accelerate commercially. Key moments: before international expansion, during fundraise preparation (Series B/C), or in a pre-exit context.
How long does a messaging engagement last for a portfolio company?
Typically 10 to 16 weeks. Diagnostic: 2–3 weeks. Messaging framework: 3–4 weeks. Go-to-market activation: 4–8 weeks depending on complexity.
Can Fast Growth work across multiple portfolio companies?
Yes. Fast Growth supports multiple B2B companies within the same portfolio. The messaging framework is built individually for each startup, but the methodology is consistent across engagements.
