Tuesday morning, 7:14 AM. The annual partner offsite is in six weeks. The portfolio operations memo needs a marketing pattern read across all twelve portcos. No single CMO has that view. Your fund does not have a portfolio CMO seat.
Built for VC fund (5+ portcos), PE-backed mid-market platform with 3+ operating units, or family office with portfolio operations. Applies to Fund principals, platform operators, family office portfolio officers, and similar fund-level buyers needing portfolio marketing strategy capacity.
Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement is a Bay Area specialist engagement priced at $500,000-$1,000,000/year. Format: 12-month commitment, milestone-billed. Deliverable: Cross-portfolio strategic plus per-company support across 5+ named portcos, plus annual fund-level review document. Built for VC fund (5+ portcos), PE-backed mid-market platform with 3+ operating units, or family office with portfolio operations. Reached through ICP pages, problem pages, and referrals when the buyer has matched their situation to the offer. Each engagement is fixed-scope at the start and cannot drift mid-engagement.
A Bay Area Series A-focused VC fund engaged Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement with 8 named portcos. The Q3 cross-portfolio pattern read identified the same Series-A-to-Series-B positioning collapse across 4 portcos. Three of the four shifted positioning within the quarter. The annual fund-level review showed measurable acceleration in two follow-on conversations the GP attributed directly to the Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement work.
VC Portfolio Retainer is quarterly billing for 3-5 portcos at $25,000-$50,000/quarter. Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement is annual billing for 5+ portcos at $500K-$1M/year with deeper per-portco intervention plus an annual fund-level review document. VC Portfolio Retainer fits seed and Series A funds; Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement fits growth-stage VC funds, PE platforms, and family offices.
Cross-portfolio marketing pattern read (the patterns you cannot see from inside any one portco), top 3 risks and top 3 opportunities by portco, recommended sequencing across the portfolio, succession planning where portcos are scaling toward in-house CMO hires. Written for the LP-facing partner conversation.
Cross-portfolio pattern compounding takes a year to show a useful pattern. Quarterly engagements produce per-portco signal but not portfolio-level signal. The 12-month cadence aligns to fund operating cycles and produces the year-long cross-portco view the principal needs.
Yes, separately. Per-portco fractional CMO seats are scoped and contracted by the portco's CEO directly with the partner's approval. Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement covers portfolio marketing strategy capacity; embedded leadership is a separate engagement.
We do not engage with two competing funds in the same vertical category simultaneously. When Multi-Client Portfolio Engagement is active with a fund, we decline overlapping fund-level engagements. Per-portco Strategic Intervention or Full Marketing Review work for non-portfolio operators in the same category remains permitted under standard advisory practice.
The annual fund-level review document supports the partner's LP communication. We do not write LP-facing copy directly; the partner adapts the review for their LP context.
Synchronous. Quarterly 90-minute partner briefing call covering the cross-portfolio read. Followed by the written briefing document for the partner's internal use.
