A flexible GTM Operating Partner who helps your portfolio mitigate risk, lower operating costs, and drive revenue growth while delivering results that delight and surprise your stakeholders.
A short, high-impact engagement that shows what happens when a GTM Operating Partner steps in. In two weeks, I work with one or two portfolio companies to diagnose what’s blocking revenue growth, show how to fix it, and prove the value of having structured GTM execution inside the fund.
Collaborative workshops to review strategic GTM options, align on differentiation, point-of-view, messaging, operating model and shape the core GTM system to implement, reset or change.
Work with 1–2 portfolio companies to uncover what’s slowing GTM progress and where focus, ownership, or rhythm is breaking down.
Teach teams what good GTM execution looks like and set up a simple weekly cadence to drive focus, accountability, and measurable progress.
Build the bridge between founders, marketing, and the board with clear, standardised GTM slides that improve communication and decision-making.
Pricing tiers based company size:
(and the resulting complexity & impact)
Early Stage, less than $2m annual revenue
Growth Stage, $2m - $20m annual revenue
Mature, $20m+ annual revenue

Edwin has been a valuable executive advisor to several companies in the Tercera portfolio. He brings a strong mix of strategic clarity, go-to-market depth, and practical operating experience that’s especially valuable to founders and growth-stage teams. His advice is clear, thoughtful, and rooted in a solid understanding of how to build and scale effective marketing and sales motions.
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.

- Doesn't have operating model for a full-time Operating Partner (just now) and want to test approach before being fully committed.
- A minimum of ~5 portfolio companies
- B2B SaaS / AI / tech-enabled services in their portfolio
- A desire to offer hands-on execution support without hiring full-time operators
- Ambitions to scale companies more reliably and differentiate their fund
Here are a few reasons how an Operating Partner helps your fund:
De-Risk GTM Execution – Founders often struggle with execution, leading to costly mistakes. An Operating Partner ensures they make the right moves at the right time.
Prevent Wasted Runway – Without clear GTM strategy and execution, startups burn cash on the wrong hires, misaligned sales efforts, and inefficient marketing.
Accelerate Growth Milestones – Hitting key revenue targets faster means stronger follow-on rounds, reducing the risk of down rounds or bridge funding.
Make Founders More Effective – A focused GTM strategy means founders spend less time second-guessing and more time executing what actually works.
Improve Portfolio Returns – Scaling efficiently leads to better unit economics, healthier valuation multiples, and stronger overall portfolio performance.
Differentiate Your Fund – Offering hands-on execution support makes your VC firm stand out in a crowded market where most “value-add” is just surface-level advice.
1. GTM Execution is the #1 Bottleneck – Your portfolio companies aren’t struggling with ideas; they’re struggling with execution. The longer they take to figure it out, the more runway they burn.
2. The Market Won’t Wait – Competitive landscapes are shifting fast. If your portfolio isn’t executing efficiently, they’re falling behind. An Operating Partner helps them move with speed and precision.
3. Hiring a Full-Time Exec is Too Slow & Costly – Founders often wait too long to hire a GTM leader or hire the wrong one. An Operating Partner bridges the gap, providing immediate impact without the overhead.
4. Missed Milestones Kill Follow-On Rounds – If your companies aren’t hitting revenue targets, they’ll struggle to raise their next round. A focused GTM strategy ensures they scale in a way that attracts investors. ]
5. Avoid Costly GTM Mistakes – Most early-stage startups waste time on the wrong ICP, pricing model, or sales motion. An Operating Partner helps them get it right the first time.
6. Your Fund’s Reputation is on the Line – VCs differentiate on more than just capital. If your portfolio consistently outperforms, you attract better founders and LPs. An Operating Partner makes sure your companies execute at a level that sets your firm apart.
The fee depends on the size and complexity of the portfolio and the level of time commitment required. Retainers start at $10,000 per month (minimum three months). Unlimited weekday support via Slack and WhatsApp is included, with hourly or daily billing available on more flexible terms.

Edwin was a pleasure to work with and gave excellent go-to-market strategy insights during the due diligence of a B2B SaaS investment we made at Octopus Ventures.
He gave tailored advice and recommendations and was not afraid to make out of the box suggestions on S&M org structure and customer acquisition & upsell strategies.
I would highly recommend Edwin for GTM Strategy advice and due diligence.

Ed is encyclopaedic when it comes to the latest go-to-market strategies for B2B SaaS businesses. For me, he is a go-to reference point on all things marketing. With his broad view and deep experience, Ed is able to distill complex concepts down to actionable insights.
Ed is a pleasure to work with, generous with his time and his network. He has made a real difference to businesses I am involved with. I always learn something new talking to him.

Wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending Ed after getting to know him during our funding round last year.
The DD project undertaken was pretty unique from my perspective in the way that it got the job in hand done, but also really helped me enhance my thinking around things we should be doing at Delio post investment.
Often the report output is a means to an end but Ed's work has been something tangible that we've been able utilise going forward. I continue to stay in touch with Ed as we look at other ways of working together at Delio now and in the future.

Edwin has been a delight to work with and exceptionally valuable to the work we do with young companies.
He has helped struggling companies to turnaround their challenged marketing strategy, as well as support growing companies to further refine their value proposition.
On top of that, he's educated our investment team on what good looks like in sales systems and processes. Edwin also isn't afraid to advise on sectors beyond his classical SaaS experience — something that's very helpful for generalist investors. Thank you Ed!

Ed worked with Evotix from December 2021 to April 2022 to support our marketing team while we established new leadership and engaged and onboarded agencies.
Ed provided advice to me (CEO — but effectively acting CMO over this period) and coaching and support to the team collectively and individually. Ed has deep and practical insight into all aspects of marketing and was always available and helpful.
He has a framework or template for everything!! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

We engaged Ed to carry out a full Marketing and Sales due diligence. He not only provided us with a honest and frank review of how we are working, but also some fantastic insights and recommendations that have now been embraced by the team.
