Running a growth business is full of firsts. First fund raise. First international expansion. First debt facility. First professional investor. First acquisition. First cyber audit. First times can be scary, add millions of dollars to the mix, and the stress can become overwhelming.

Adding an Optimarrow seat to your portfolio company’s Board or Advisory Board can give you confidence that when big firsts happen, a growth-tested professional is there by your side.

The time to mature isn’t right before exit, but the reality is, growth companies undergo continuous change and must often be reactive rather than proactive.

Leadership Support

It can be lonely at the top. Your portfolio company’s board and investors can be great subject matter resources, but their role isn’t to run the business. Similarly, disclosing insecurities or pushing issues down to employees can have a serious negative impact on culture. Sometimes leadership just need a sanity check or an experienced peer to bounce thoughts or concerns off of. Other times, leadership needs someone close that can help maneuver through complex situations (think global pandemic).
