For Family Offices & Private Equity
The Operating Partner
You Don't Have In-House.
Family Offices and PE firms have the capital, but often lack the operational "bench" to diligence GTM reality or fix portfolio companies when they stall. I fill that gap — embedded, hands-on, and results-oriented.
Discuss Your Portfolio
Three Ways I Work With Investors.
Whether pre-investment, post-investment, or pre-exit — I provide the commercial operating capacity your portfolio needs.
The "Red Flag" Diligence
The tech is great, but the GTM strategy feels like a hallucination. I audit the commercial reality before the Term Sheet — validating ICP clarity, pipeline quality, sales process maturity, and team capability.
- ICP validation and market sizing reality-check
- Pipeline quality audit (pipeline vs. wishlist)
- Sales team capability and process maturity assessment
- Commercial risk scorecard for the investment committee
The Series A "Stall"
When a portfolio company misses targets, you deploy me. I install the Revenue Engine, fix the leak, and get them back on the growth track — without the cost or disruption of a permanent C-suite hire.
- Root cause analysis of revenue shortfall
- 90-day Revenue Engine installation
- Interim fractional CRO coverage during search
- Board-ready reporting on commercial KPIs
The Pre-Exit Cleanup
Preparing for a secondary sale or exit. I professionalize the data room and sales process to maximise the multiple — ensuring acquirers see a scalable, repeatable commercial engine, not a founder-dependent one-trick pony.
- Sales process documentation for data room
- CRM hygiene and pipeline credibility audit
- Revenue quality narrative for acquirer presentations
- Scalability proof-points to justify the multiple
Why Investors Work With Me.
The commercial operating partner model — not a consultant who writes reports, but a builder who gets results.
Speed
No onboarding curve. I've done this before. I'm in the trenches within week one — joining calls, reviewing pipeline, and writing playbooks.
Independence
I report to the board, not the CEO. That gives me the latitude to surface commercial realities that internal teams often avoid escalating.
Efficiency
Fractional engagement at operating partner economics. No full-time C-suite cost, no 6-month search — just the capability you need, when you need it.
"I use Florin as a reality check. He flagged two deals we were excited about that turned out to have zero commercial logic. For the companies we do back, he cuts out the 6 to 9 months of 'figuring it out' that usually burns our seed capital. He's an insurance policy on execution."
