Who we work with

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 execute your strategy 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 scales without you.

All the reports are the same. You are buying the outcome.

What you get sold

A beautiful document

Findings, recommendations, a roadmap. The big firms do this very well.

What happens next

The deck goes into a drive

The consultants leave, and a year later the business has not changed.

What we do instead

We work it with your team and hand it over

We work it with your team to rebuild the plan and execute it. Then we teach your team how to keep executing without us.

The point

That is the whole company

Not one of our service lines. You buy the outcome, not the hours.

"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."

Fund Partner, private equity firm

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.

Strategic Foundation Who to sell to, why they should choose you, and the team to do it.
Enablement Center The engine underneath: the process, the CRM and data your leaders can actually trust, and AI wired through all of it.
Execution System The frontline, where pipeline turns into closed revenue.

You see results in 60 to 120 days, because the work goes into the field in week two, not month six.

Artificial intelligence

Analysis is getting cheaper every month. Judgment is not.

AI makes us faster. Our experts make it right.

We build it. We do not just buy it Bespoke AI solutions, starting with our own platform, Cortado Group AI, put through our own go-to-market before we ever install it in yours.
What actually gets faster AI does the heavy analysis in a fraction of the time, so more of your investment goes toward execution.
You keep the machinery Engagements end with bespoke agents, dashboards, and tools built for your business and still running inside it, with your team's hands on it.
Human in the loop AI is only as good as the data it sources and the people that know how to use it properly. We assure your team knows how to produce trustworthy results.
How we use AI

Great strategies don't drive returns. Execution does.

Tell us where growth is stalled and we will tell you how to restart it, and how fast.
