For investors
You bring advice and introductions.
We help founders follow through.
A dedicated team, supported by AI, to help your portfolio companies find customers, build investor relationships and keep the work moving.
Choose a company’s priority
What does this company need next?
Choose the priority with the founder. Agree the work and responsibilities for that company.
These are choices of support, not stages every company must pass through.
What will your team do?
Research the role responsible for the problem, alongside the people who influence the decision.
Document relevant context and separate a plausible need from a confirmed priority.
Ask the founder to review the fit and agree a considered opening.
How do we help without taking over?
You bring portfolio context. The founder sets the direction. We do the agreed work.
Agree the support with the founder and review what matters to the decision ahead.
Supply company context, approve the approach and own the commercial conversations.
Research, prepare the approach, follow up and track the agreed next steps.
Your StepUp.One Client Partner coordinates the team’s work. AI supports preparation; people check it.
What experience can we draw on?

For investors
A dedicated team, supported by AI, to help your portfolio companies find customers, build investor relationships and follow through.
What we do for you
Agree the company’s priority with the founder. We put a team behind the research, relationships and follow-through it needs.
Research relevant buyers, investors or potential acquirers. Check why each could be a fit for the company.
Bring together useful evidence and a clear approach for the founder to review.
Track replies, follow up on commitments and bring the next decision back to the founder.
Four ways to help
Choose the priority with the founder.
Find relevant buyers, show how the company can help and keep opportunities moving. The founder or commercial team leads the sales conversations.
Portfolio go-to-market supportFind funds and partners that fit the company’s stage, sector and reason for raising. Help the founder build those relationships and follow through.
Portfolio fundraising supportAgree one question about the business. Review the evidence and information the founder shares, then identify what is known and what still needs checking.
Portfolio diagnosticsResearch companies that could have a strategic reason to buy. Agree the objective and confidentiality boundaries before deciding whether to approach anyone.
M&A and exit supportAgree the work and responsibilities for each company.
How we work together
Supported by AI. Checked by people. The founder makes the company’s decisions.
