Portfolio traction you can underwrite.
You've invested — or you're weighing an investment — and need clarity on the commercial upside? Or your portfolio company needs hands-on support to actually deliver on the growth assumptions in the investment case?

Sales build-out & Commercial Due Diligence
Whether it's a pre-investment check of the sales strategy or post-investment build-out of the sales process — the operational perspective that financial models don't capture.

Investors — what operators typically want to know.
What does a Commercial Due Diligence deliver beyond the financial model?
We check whether the growth assumptions in the investment case are actually achievable operationally — ICP clarity, sales efficiency, pricing robustness, pipeline reality, and how scalable the sales process really is. Financial models show the target; we check the path to get there. Pre-investment, that's an early-warning system; post-investment, it's an accelerator.
How fast can a portfolio company ramp up sales with STRADANO?
We typically start with a Markt-Sprint (a focused, time-boxed market sprint) of 6-10 weeks that identifies and sets the critical sales levers in motion. Visible pipeline and first closings follow within 3-6 months, depending on the sales cycle. Escalation support is available for critical mandates — up to interim management, if the growth thesis requires it.
Does STRADANO work with value-creation teams at PE firms?
Yes. We understand the PE/VC context from our own investor-relations practice (raised over €600,000 in capital in the sport-tech case) and deliver the hands-on operational piece that value-creation teams can't provide themselves. Clear quarterly KPIs, reporting discipline, and a success-based fee component.
