Most clean-economy portfolios share a pattern. Strong technology. Validated pilots. Real customer interest. And a 12 to 24 month gap between investment and commercial traction that the founding team can't close on its own.
That gap is what destroys MOIC. That gap is what burns out your in-house portfolio operations team. We close it.
You've already done the hard work of underwriting the technology. You've put in the capital. The board is aligned on the plan.
Then the portco hits the commercialization wall. Pilots that don't convert. Buyers that won't engage. Pipeline that doesn't materialize. Founding teams running out of runway before the next round.
Most funds don't have the bandwidth or the operator networks to de-risk commercialization at portfolio scale. That's the gap we fill.

We source and screen growth-stage companies for commercial readiness, not just technology promise. Operators sourcing through operator networks. You see deals where the path to revenue is already partially mapped.

Embedded post-investment to de-risk your portcos. We pressure-test commercial strategy and GTM assumptions. Validate target customers, pricing, and positioning. Accelerate pilots, LOIs, and early revenue. Prepare cleaner narratives for follow-on rounds.

Most portcos sit on uncaptured grant eligibility. We audit grant eligibility across federal, provincial, and sector-specific programs. Match portcos to underutilized incentive programs. Support applications for the qualified, organized companies in your portfolio. Every dollar of equity gets matched or extended with non-dilutive capital.

Structured discovery to open new growth paths without distracting core teams. New customer segments and verticals. Geographic expansion across North America, Europe, and select global markets. Adjacent use cases. Strategic partnerships and channel models.

Portfolio management beyond traditional IPO and M&A. We identify strategic buyers and later-stage investors. Prepare positioning for secondary transactions. Facilitate discreet, efficient conversations.

Operator-led sourcing. Our team sits inside the buyer and partner networks that growth-stage companies are trying to break into, so we see the ones with real commercial traction before they show up on the broader VC radar. Hunter scans signal data weekly across thousands of companies. We don't broker. We don't take placement fees on intros to your fund.
We screen for commercial readiness, not technology promise. Real customer signals. Validated pilots. Founding teams that can execute on a commercial plan. Sectors aligned to institutional buyer networks: energy, agriculture, resources, water, built environment, industrial decarbonization, and climate resilience.
North America (Canada and the US), Europe (through the LCBA program and direct presence), and APAC (through our Asia specialists).
Both. Pre-investment we source qualified deal flow. Post-investment we embed with portcos to de-risk commercialization. Some funds use us for one. Most use us for both.
Funds engage us on retainer for sourcing, screening, and ongoing portfolio support. Portfolio companies engage us directly on a retainer plus success fee model. The fund contract and the portco contract are separate, but the operating cadence runs together.
