We come in when the growth plan stops producing.
Private equity operating partners
You have a value-creation plan and a deadline. We turn the plan into pipeline that the portfolio company's own team is running.
Portfolio company executives
You do not need another strategy. You need the one you already have to produce revenue this quarter. We build it with your team, alongside the people who will own it.
PE leadership and deal teams
You need to know the thesis is real before the next board meeting. We make the growth case visible in numbers, not narrative.
Independent and founder-led executives
No sponsor, no board mandate, and no one else's capital at risk. Growth probably still runs through you personally, which is both a ceiling on what the company can do and a discount on what it is worth. We build a go-to-market engine that sells without you in every deal, scoped one problem at a time rather than as a transformation you never asked for.
All the reports are the same. You are buying the outcome.
A beautiful document
Findings, recommendations, a roadmap. The big firms do this very well.
The deck goes into a drive
They leave, and a year later the business is roughly where it was.
We work it with your team and hand it over
We rebuild the motion with your team and hand it over when they can run it without us.
That is the whole company
Not one of our service lines. You buy the outcome, not the hours.
Full go-to-market rebuild at a 70-year-old industrial manufacturer.
150 reps, family-owned, no repeatable motion. We rebuilt targeting, positioning, territory structure, and the sales process. Every workstream was implemented. A year after we left, the company was still using the vocabulary we installed.

See all results"Cortado came in and kicked the beehive. The new vocabulary, RevOps, ICP, territory structure, didn't exist in the lingo of the company a year and a half ago. There's a lasting impact."
One system for go-to-market, in three layers.
We do not sell a menu of services. We install one operating system that produces revenue, and we scope each piece to a real problem with a fixed timeline and a fixed price.
You see results in 60 to 120 days, because the work goes into the field in week two, not month six.

AI makes us faster. Our experts make it right.
