Give your portfolio companies experienced sales leaders to challenge their next big decision.
Before your portfolio companies make their next sales hire, market expansion or growth investment, give founders a way to test their commercial assumptions. Our expert decision panels and investor-focused portfolio events turn high-stakes decisions into clearer next steps.
New partners can experience a complimentary full panel for one agreed portfolio company.
Your capital deserves a stronger commercial diagnosis.
When a portfolio company misses its target, a familiar choice follows: hire, wait or change strategy. Each can be costly if the diagnosis is wrong. Your founders need informed commercial challenge, not another room of people repeating the same plan.
Get them in one room instead. One event, one panel of people running the play your founders are trying to run, and every company in the portfolio hears it at once.
Raise the commercial standard across the portfolio.
We host a session for your firm and you invite your portfolio companies. It opens with a keynote, then a panel of active sales leaders, VPs of Sales and directors who are carrying a number this quarter, not retired advisors.
It's interactive. Founders put their real GTM questions to the panel and get straight answers in the room. The value isn't only the answers. It's the discussion around them, the connections made, and a portfolio that learns from each other rather than in isolation.
An investor offer: the Portfolio Growth Decision Clinic.
Offer your portfolio an invite-only working session focused on the decisions founders face after funding: their first sales hire, the next growth milestone and whether the current sales motion is ready to scale.
We can explore a co-hosted format with Fieldfisher, building on our previous events together. The proposed programme combines an experienced sales-operator panel, practical founder questions and a legal perspective on commercial execution. Co-host involvement, date and format are subject to agreement before invitations go out.
The event is a portfolio-wide benefit, separate from a private SpringboardIQ panel. Founders who need deeper input can choose three active sales leaders for a confidential decision review and written recommendations. Private panels are usually paid engagements; eligible new partners can begin with one complimentary panel for an agreed portfolio company.
Explore a clinic for your portfolioGo deep where the next decision matters most.
A founder facing a critical hire, missed target or GTM pivot can have a dedicated three-expert panel built for that exact decision. The confidential session challenges assumptions and produces a written readout. This is a separate engagement from the wider portfolio event.
Use the events to lift the whole portfolio, and the roundtables to go deep on the bets that need it.
Why founders accept it from us
Founders are more likely to engage with specific, constructive feedback when it comes from credible practitioners. Three active sales leaders can challenge the same assumption from different perspectives and help expose trade-offs before more capital is committed.
The discussion is founder-led, grounded in real decisions, and designed to complement the support investors already provide.
Proof it works
Wayleadr: an expert panel and campaign activation helped sharpen its approach to tier-one accounts. This is a combined engagement, not an outcome from the panel alone.
Discuss a dedicated three-expert panel for one company, or a separate event for your wider portfolio.
