Strategex's Private Equity Solutions offer a whole new approach to due diligence and value creation for private equity and investment professionals. We use customer insights, market assessments, and 80/20 to help our clients close with confidence, expedite growth, exit faster, and maximize MOIC.
We identify the most valuable customers, markets, and value streams to make actionable recommendations you can use leading up to a sale, or post-acquisition to jumpstart value creation.
Mitigate Customer Risk
Our Customer Due Diligence process uncovers insight into the health and loyalty of your target’s customer base so you can move forward with confidence. Strategex Customer Due Diligence is voice of the customer research on steroids. We interview - and we mean interview - top revenue generators. Customers tell us everything: What they think, what they feel, and their impulses. We know quickly whether or not top customers are happy and secure or if they're leaving right after you write the check.
This package is designed exclusively for private equity. In less than 30 days, we assess customer relationships, identify at-risk customers, and provide customer-centric value creation strategies. We deliver it all before you close.
Uncover & Assess Growth Opportunities
We offer pre and post-acquisition research designed to provide actionable information to support oraganic & inorganic growth within portfolio companies.
Our B2B Market Assessments inform strategic decisions, optimize product development, enhance sales & marketing efforts, and accelerate growth. From market sizing to target identification to opportunity evaluation, our programs are tailored for the complexities of B2B buying processes, supply chains, and value streams. We are industry agnostic (although we have in-depth expertise in some verticals). We have honed the process of conducting market research on niche markets where there is little known/published—this strength is particularly valuable for our clients who invest in the middle market.
We empower our clients with market information you can't find anywhere else. Our Market Assessments provide deep analysis of the market landscape, competitive dynamics, growth drivers, and success/risk assessment. Our market research culminates in an actionable value creation playbook so portfolio companies can grow more, keep more and win more.
Accelerate Value Creation
Our team is poised to make your investment thesis a reality. After an acquisition, we jumpstart value creation by issuing a first 100-day action plan.
We work hand-in-hand with portfolio companies to implement 80/20 Profit & Growth. Strategex’s 80/20 process is designed to optimize business performance at all levels, develop a culture of meaningful results, deliver record levels of Operating Income and EBITDA improvement, and effect measurable shareholder returns. And it works. When a company commits to 80/20, it works 100% of the time. In fact, we can guarantee a 10x ROI, but most clients see 25x.
Our clients start seeing results in 6 months.
Exit Faster, Exit Better
Throughout the holding period, we help portfolio companies gain profitable market share growth. We improve a portfolio's sell-side positioning, strengthen the IRR, and enable a faster return on investment.
As one client put it, "There is no other process more tuned to the speed of execution and value creation needed than in the PE space. 80/20 should be taught in every major business school in the country.
