Strategic
advisory.

At the crossroads of capital and strategy: scaling, finance, business model and go-to-market. A broad range of work to prepare a company’s defining inflection points.

Scope of work

A broad range of work,
structured by domain.

The work described below is non-exhaustive and indicative. Each engagement is defined bespoke, according to the company’s context and objectives.

01

Vision & corporate strategy

  • Defining the vision, mission and strategic objectives
  • Product strategy and roadmap
  • Capital allocation and arbitration of major structuring decisions
02

Scaling & growth

  • Defining the development path (fundraise, share sale or joint venture), built on a pre-deal equity diagnosis: stocktaking of achievements, documentation of pivots and validation of product-market fit
  • Operational readiness for scaling: removing bottlenecks (tools, teams, infrastructure) and structuring governance fit for growth
  • Growth levers: make-or-buy arbitration (in-house development, technology or team acquisition, partnership) and framing of internationalisation (target markets, rollout order, entry model)
03

Finance & accounting

  • Three-to-five-year business plan: growth scenarios, financing plan and cash-flow projections
  • Cost-structure analysis and modelling of the path to profitability (break-even) for startups
  • Structuring the financing offering and optimising the capital structure
04

Business model

  • Diagnosis and restructuring of the model: coherence between value proposition, segments, revenue and costs
  • Pricing and monetisation strategy, including, where relevant, the shift to a recurring model (SaaS, subscription)
  • Leveraging data assets as a competitive advantage and monetisation driver
05

Go-to-market

  • Target-customer segmentation (ICP), positioning, brand strategy and choice of distribution channels
  • Customer-acquisition playbook and sales-cycle structuring, with budget prioritisation
  • Entry into new geographic markets and alliance strategy: local players, partners and product/pricing adaptation
06

Development plan & market studies

  • Multi-year development plan combining organic growth (new products, segments, moving upmarket) and external growth (acquisitions, build-up, equity stakes)
  • In-depth market study: sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), growth dynamics, trends and customer behaviour (quantitative and qualitative)
  • Competitive analysis, benchmarking and strategic & commercial due diligence
07

Performance management & operational transformation

  • Process optimisation and continuous improvement of operational performance
  • Defining management indicators (KPIs) and dashboards
  • Leading transformation projects and change management
