Fractional Operating Partner to make sure portfolio companies hit plan.any wins, execute better, and avoid costly GTM mistakes.
You invest in great companies. But getting from early traction to scalable revenue is where most startups struggle.
The hardest part isn’t having the right strategy, it’s executing it.
I’ve worked with over 50+ venture/PE -backed companies, and the same pattern appears again and again: founders overcomplicate their go-to-market (GTM), burn time and money on the wrong things, and struggle to turn early wins into predictable growth.
That’s where I step in. I work alongside your portfolio companies to cut through the noise, focus on what actually drives growth, and execute with clarity, so you and your CEOs can move faster, with fewer headaches.
The VC’s Dilemma
Most funds offer ‘value-add’ support, but CEOs don’t need another Slack group, generic GTM playbook or generic consultants/advisors who haven't learned the process behind being a great Operating Partner. They need someone who’s been in the trenches to help them make the right decisions when it matters.
Without that, you risk:
🔴 Startups drowning in complexity instead of executing what works
🔴 Founders burning cash on marketing and sales experiments that lead nowhere
🔴 Slow sales cycles, missed targets, and rushed hiring decisions
If execution is where startups fail, clarity is what makes them win.
1. Simple, Clear GTM Execution
I strip away complexity and help CEOS/leadership teams focus on what actually moves the needle—so they stop wasting time and start scaling the right way.
2. Faster Decisions, Fewer Mistakes
When execution feels overwhelming, founders hesitate or make the wrong calls. I work directly with leadership teams to cut through uncertainty and make execution simple.
3. Predictable Growth, Without the Panic
With a clear GTM path, better execution, and fewer wasted bets, your portfolio companies hit their milestones with confidence—giving you peace of mind that your investments are scaling the way they should.
I was introduced to Edwin through a contact at Mercia Ventures where he is an Operating Partner. I am so grateful for his knowledge and clarity of insight as it helped us to focus on what was really important and to avoid wasting, time, money and effort on things that were not driving our business forward. I have already recommended and introduced him to a couple of the businesses in my portfolio and in each case I have seen a measurable improvement following his involvement.Edwin also has an incredible network of professional resources for everything GTM and is very generous with his introductions.If you are struggling, or simply want to turbo charge, your GTM success take the time to reach out to Edwin for practical advice and insight. You won't be disappointed.
