How It Works
Scope
We assess your portfolio through an AI lens. Which companies have the most to gain? Where are the quick wins vs. strategic plays? We prioritise based on value creation potential.
Execute
Deep-dive into priority companies. AI readiness assessment, use case identification, roadmap development. We work directly with management teams, not just at the fund level.
Deliver
Portfolio AI strategy with company-level implementation plans. We stay engaged through quarterly reviews to ensure execution stays on track.
Who This Is For
PE and VC firms with 5+ portfolio companies looking to systematically drive AI adoption across their portfolio. Typically mid-market funds where portfolio companies have £10M-£200M revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many portfolio companies can you assess at once?
We typically start with a portfolio-wide scan (all companies, 2-3 weeks), then deep-dive into the top 3-5 highest-potential companies. Sequential deep-dives allow us to apply learnings across the portfolio.
Do you work with the portfolio companies directly?
Yes. While the engagement is commissioned by the fund, we work hands-on with each portfolio company's management team. AI adoption requires buy-in from the people who'll execute it.
Can you help with AI-related value creation during a hold period?
Absolutely. This is where we add the most value. We help portfolio companies implement AI initiatives that drive measurable value — typically targeting 2-5x return on the AI investment within 18 months.
