The software investor growth trap: poor positioning

Have you invested in a top-tier B2B software asset… only to see costs rise and momentum stall?

You conducted exhaustive diligence on a category leader in a high-growth market. Strong product, sticky customers, healthy EBITDA. Your deal thesis was airtight.

Yet, post-acquisition – or perhaps mid-hold – the growth levers aren't pulling as expected. Worse, you’re burning cash by targeting everyone with misaligned messaging and an unclear  value proposition.

The investment thesis feels at risk and Investment Committee meetings are getting uncomfortable.

A common and often overlooked culprit? Flawed market positioning.

Poor positioning creates a massively inefficient GTM engine. Your PortCos waste budget chasing wrong-fit prospects, sales cycles drag, and internal misalignment means every department operates with different assumptions about the customer.

The problem isn't your product, team, or brand - it's scattered positioning that’s making your entire revenue engine inefficient.

The good news? This is fixable in less than one quarter. And the efficiency gains are immediate.

What CEOs and investors are saying about PFG

Ami Katschinski | CEO, Sphere
"What really hit home was discovering we were selling one thing, but our customers valued us for something completely different. That insight alone was worth the investment"
Andy May | CEO, Webexpenses
"It was fast. All done in about 10 weeks with little effort on our side. What we came away with was much better than we could have created."
