Supporting founders as they turn ideas into real businesses — from idea to exit, with clarity and confidence.
Thoughtful, hands-on support for early-stage founders — available remotely or in person.
Your Fractional Co-Pilot. On Retainer
VentureEdge Growth operates as a fractional startup partner, supporting startups and early-stage companies across Ireland and the UK. Rather than providing advice alone, VentureEdge works alongside founders on a flexible basis for an agreed fee, acting as a hands-on strategist and trusted partner embedded in the founding journey.
This approach gives founders practical support and experienced input at key stages, without the commitment of a full-time hire. It is designed to bring clarity to decisions, structure to execution, and perspective during periods of uncertainty, while allowing founders to retain full ownership and control of their business.
Benefits of a Fractional Partner
Senior input without a full-time hire
Access experienced, founder-level thinking on a flexible basis.
Embedded but objective perspective
Close enough to understand the business, independent enough to challenge assumptions.
Support that adapts to your stage
Involvement flexes as priorities change from validation to launch or growth.
More structured decision-making
Helps founders clarify options, trade-offs, and priorities under uncertainty.
A practical sounding board
Reduces founder isolation and supports better judgment on complex decisions.
Lower commitment than adding a co-founder or executive
No long-term lock-in while still benefiting from partner-level support.
How It Works
1. Initial conversation
We start with a straightforward, no-pressure conversation to understand where you are, what you’re building, and where clarity would be most valuable right now.
2. Agree the engagement
If it feels like a good fit, we agree on the scope, cadence, and level of involvement. This is typically a fractional, weekly engagement, shaped around your stage and priorities.
3. Work together, regularly
We work together on an ongoing basis — thinking through decisions, shaping direction, and producing practical outputs where useful (such as business plans, pitch decks, or preparation for investor conversations).
4. Review and adjust
As the business evolves, we regularly revisit priorities and adjust focus. The goal is to ensure effort stays aligned with what actually matters as new information emerges.
5. Continue or transition
Engagements can continue as long as the work is valuable. When it makes sense to step back, you leave with clearer thinking, better materials, and a stronger foundation to build from.
In-person and remote options
Thanks to tools like Google Meet and Zoom, geography isn’t a barrier. Whether you’re across the country or across the globe, we can connect seamlessly — no need to book a flight or wear a suit.
Prefer face-to-face? If you're based in Ireland or the UK, I’m happy to meet in person when it makes sense.
