Convex Growth Partners Diagnostic
Value Creation Partner for Founder-Led Companies

Build the company a buyer would pay a premium for.

Convex Growth Partners helps founder-led companies improve profitability, reduce owner dependency, install operating discipline and AI-era automation, and create stronger options for growth, recapitalization, or exit.

The problem

Most valuable businesses are not sold at the last minute. They are built that way.

The best time to improve valuation is not when the business is already on the market. It is one to three years before you want options. That is when the gaps buyers discount can still be fixed:

  • Growth depends too much on the founder
  • Sales are inconsistent or too relationship-driven
  • Margins leak through daily operations
  • Manual work slows the team down while competitors automate
  • Management systems are informal
  • The business performs, but does not yet transfer cleanly to a buyer

Convex helps turn those issues into a value-creation plan, before they become valuation discounts.

What we improve

Four commercial outcomes. Everything we do serves one of them.

More profit

Find the constraint that caps your growth, remove the bottlenecks around it, improve pricing, and put AI and automation to work on the labor that should never have been manual. The goal is simple: convert more of your revenue into EBITDA.

Less owner dependency

Install operating rhythms, accountability, process discipline, and management visibility so the company runs on systems instead of the founder’s memory and heroics.

More scalable growth

Build repeatable sales, referral, partnership, and offer systems that compound without linear headcount growth and without turning the company into something you hate.

Higher transferable value

Improve what buyers actually reward: clean operations, recurring revenue, customer stickiness, management depth, and a credible growth story. Value built years before a sale, not staged weeks before one.

Who this is for

Substantial, but not yet fully transferable.

Convex is built for owners of founder-led companies, typically $5M to $100M in revenue, who recognize one or more of these:

  • Growth has plateaued even though demand exists
  • Profit does not reflect the effort going into the business
  • The company still depends too heavily on the founder
  • The team is capable, but execution is inconsistent
  • You may want liquidity in the next one to five years
  • You want a partner willing to stay tied to the outcome, not a consultant who sells a deck and disappears
How it works

Start with a diagnostic. Continue only if the economics make sense.

01

Diagnose the value gap

Start with the Owner Value Diagnostic: a paid private working session that maps where profit, time, and enterprise value are trapped, including where AI and automation would actually pay. You leave with a concrete plan whether or not we ever work together again.

02

Execute the value-creation plan

If the fit is right, we work alongside you in a monthly partnership: operations, sales systems, pricing, automation, reporting, management cadence. Our compensation can be tied to the results we help create.

03

Create options

The business becomes better prepared for a sale, recapitalization, management transition, or continued ownership. In select cases, Convex may also be a natural acquisition partner alongside aligned capital.

Why Convex

Most consultants sell recommendations. Most buyers show up only when you are ready to sell. Convex sits between the two: an operating and value-creation partner who works beside the owner and stays tied to the outcome.
