Growth & Ventures

Grow what you’ve built.

Senior commercial, technical and design leadership for founders and growing companies. Sometimes for a fee. Sometimes for a share of what we help build.

Two ways we work
Bly Growth

A senior commercial leader, without the full-time hire.

We step in, run the commercial engine, build the team around it, then hire the person to take it forward.

01

Fractional CCO

Own the commercial engine.

Strategy, pricing, pipeline and partnerships, led by a senior executive a few days a month.

02

Growth partner

Find, win and keep the right customers.

Positioning, go-to-market and a sales process your team can actually run.

03

Executive search

Hire the leaders who take it further.

Commercial, technology and product leaders, found by people who know what the role really needs.

How an engagement runs

  1. Lead it

    We take the commercial seat and get the numbers moving.

  2. Build it

    Process, pipeline and people, set up to last.

  3. Hire it

    We find the permanent leader to run it.

  4. Hand it over

    We step back. The capability stays.

Bly Ventures

A partner in the work, and in the outcome.

For a small number of early-stage companies, we become your commercial, technical and design partner. Instead of a full fee, we take a share of what we help create.

Commercial

Go-to-market, pricing, sales and partnerships.

Technical

Architecture, product and delivery.

Design

Service and product design that customers feel.

How a partnership works

Skin in the game, on both sides.

We earn our share through the work we do. It can be equity in place of fees, or a reduced fee plus equity.

  1. Meet

    A straight conversation about the problem, the market and the people.

  2. Diagnose

    A short, focused look at what’s true and what’s possible.

  3. Agree

    Ownership, fees and responsibilities, set out clearly up front.

  4. Build

    We work in the business with you, week in, week out.

  5. Grow

    We share in the value we help create.

What we look for

A real problem

Something customers already feel and will pay to fix.

Founders who listen

Strong conviction, open to challenge.

Early signal

Traction, or insight no one else has.

A fit for what we bring

Where commercial, technical or design help changes the outcome.
