LeverSolutions

The operating wrap that comes with the capital.

The work a company would otherwise have to hire, learn or survive — delivered by people who have run the function rather than advised on it.

Decades of operator-grade execution, wrapped around the check.

LeverSolutions is the operating wrap on every position. It de-risks the plan, pulls the timeline in, and offsets fees against real delivery rather than against a retainer.

A company backed by this fund does not receive a check and a board seat. It receives the four pillars below, staffed from day one, named in the investment documents, and reviewed on the same cadence as the financial plan.

Operator-grade means the person doing the work has already run the function inside a company like this one.
Four pillarsThe service wrap
01

Strategic commercialization

Revenue architecture built by people who have run a commercial organization and owned its revenue target, not advised on one.

02

Operational excellence

The unglamorous half that sets the ship date, and the half most often missing when a plan slips.

03

Expert teams and network

The people a company needs before it can afford them, placed against a named gap rather than a title.

Efficient capital use

Making the balance sheet do more work, so the next round is a choice rather than a rescue.

Six workstreams  ·  Figure 1, line 04

Each pillar expands into six named workstreams in Figure 1. Scope is chosen from that list, not invented after close.

The bench is a working group, not a roster. People are placed against a named gap and stay until the gap closes.
§ 02  /  05
Scope of work

Twenty-four workstreams, named before anybody signs.

A company should know exactly what it is getting and exactly what it is not. The list below is the whole menu, and the engagement letter names which lines are live.

Four pillars, twenty-four workstreams
01Commercial

Strategic commercialization

Most companies at this stage have a product that works and a commercial motion that was inherited from the founding sale. We rebuild the motion around the buyer who actually signs.

  • Go-to-market design and segmentation
  • Pricing and packaging architecture
  • Channel and distribution structure
  • Key-account capture and reference building
  • Payer, specifier and reimbursement strategy
  • Commercial hiring plan and quota design
02Operations

Operational excellence

The gap between a pilot line and a supply chain is where growth-stage companies stall. This is the least glamorous pillar and the one that most often decides the outcome.

  • Manufacturing scale-up and transfer
  • Supply chain and supplier qualification
  • Quality systems and regulatory maintenance
  • Finance function and FP&A maturity
  • Systems, reporting and board pack discipline
  • Cost-to-serve and margin recovery
03People

Expert teams and network

The bench is the asset. Placements are made from relationships built over decades of operating, not from a search process that starts when the need appears.

  • Senior and executive recruitment
  • Independent board placement
  • Fractional CXO cover during a gap
  • Scientific and medical advisor sourcing
  • Key-hire onboarding and first-90-day plans
  • Succession and retention planning
04Capital

Efficient capital use

Equity is the most expensive money a growth company can raise. Part of the work is making sure less of it is needed.

  • Non-dilutive and grant capital
  • Bridge and structured facility design
  • Secondary facilitation for early holders
  • Mergers and acquisitions advisory
  • Capital plan sequencing to milestones
  • Data room and diligence readiness

Scope, staffing and fee treatment are agreed before close and stated in the investment documents. LeverSolutions is available to portfolio companies and, selectively, on a standalone engagement basis.

§ 03  /  05
How an engagement runs

Five stages, and the first one starts before we write the check.

LeverSolutions is not mobilized when something goes wrong. The work starts during diligence and is staffed from the day the deal closes, because what it does is what the plan depends on.

Figure 2Engagement
Five stages
00Diligence and acquirer alignment Before we invest. Diligence runs in parallel with mapping and aligning the parties most likely to acquire the company, so we begin with the exit in mind instead of discovering it later. Every investment is underwritten to an exit within thirty-six months. This is a liquidity mandate, not an indefinite hold.
Before close
01On-boarding The first ninety days. Diagnostic across all four pillars, the operating plan rewritten with management, the named owner of the number identified, and the reporting cadence set.
Weeks 1–12
02Operations and supply chain Manufacturing transfer, supplier qualification, quality and regulatory maintenance, cost-to-serve and margin recovery. The least glamorous stage and the one that most often sets the ship date.
Quarters 1–4
03Partnerships, business development and licensing Strategic partnerships, distribution structure, licensing and co-development. Negotiated by people who have sat on the other side of the table in the same industry.
Year 1 onward
04Exit strategy The exit thesis written at entry, revisited annually in writing, and made real: buyer mapping, diligence readiness, data room discipline and the capital plan that sequences to it.
From entry, reviewed yearly

§ 04  /  05
Terms and governance

How it is scoped, staffed and paid for.

The commercial terms are stated here because a service wrap with vague economics is the easiest thing in this industry to promise and the hardest to hold anybody to.

01

Written into the documents

Scope, staffing and fee treatment are agreed before close and stated in the investment documents. Nothing is invented afterward, and nothing is billed that was not named.

02

Offset against delivery

Fees are offset against real delivery rather than charged as a retainer. A workstream that is not staffed is not billed.

03

Reviewed on the same cadence

The operating plan and the financial plan are reviewed together, in the same meeting, against the same calendar. Two sets of books is how a wrap becomes theater.

04

Management stays in charge

We take decisions apart with the team, not around them. If a chief executive does not want operators inside the work, LeverSolutions is the wrong product and we say so before close.

An operating wrap that cannot be audited is a slide.

Service partners

The bench behind the platform, named against the work it does.

A fund is only as institutional as the people who audit it, administer it, paper it and staff it. Each partner below is listed against a scope of work rather than shown as a badge.
