For Private Equity & Franchisors
Standardize operations across your portfolio with an AI-first OS.
One operating layer deployed across portcos, properties, or franchisees. Inherit standards, contribute data, compound across the portfolio.
The portfolio problem
Every entity in the portfolio re-invents the same operations.
PE rollups, franchisors, and multi-property operators share a structural problem: every entity in the portfolio runs its own version of the same operations. Each portco has its own finance stack. Each franchisee builds its own marketing motion. Each property maintains its own reporting cadence.
The result is heterogeneity at exactly the layer where standardization would compound: the operating layer. The deal thesis depends on running the portfolio better than the seller did — but the actual operating playbooks live in spreadsheets, in people's heads, and in tribal knowledge that doesn't travel between entities.
An AI-first operating system inverts that. Standards are codified once. Function agents are deployed across every entity. New acquisitions inherit the OS as part of integration. Each entity contributes data back into the system, sharpening the agents for the rest of the portfolio. The operating standard is no longer a slide deck — it's running software.
Portfolio archetypes
Four shapes. Same OS.
Every portfolio is different. The OS adapts to four common archetypes — and to the hybrids in between.
01
PE Rollups
Multi-portco platforms in fragmented verticals — property services, healthcare, professional services, distribution. The OS becomes the operating standard every newly-acquired portco inherits.
02
Franchisors
Multi-unit franchise systems where every franchisee re-implements ops from scratch. The OS standardizes finance, marketing, lead-gen, and reporting across the system — without taking control away from the operator.
03
Multi-property real estate
Operators of dozens or hundreds of properties — multifamily, hospitality, commercial, self-storage. The OS runs the back-office function on every asset from one operating layer.
04
Multi-brand consumer
Holding companies running portfolios of consumer brands. The OS handles shared back-office (finance, HR, IP) and brand-specific creative production at portfolio scale.
A typical 90-day rollout
Audit. Build. Deploy across the portfolio.
- Phase 1
Portfolio audit
3–4 weeks
Map every entity in the portfolio. Identify shared functions, divergent stacks, and the highest-leverage standardization plays. Output: a portfolio-wide rollout sequence.
- Phase 2
Build & first rollout
6–12 weeks
Build the core OS and deploy it to a single pilot entity. Validate, tune, and document the deployment playbook for portfolio-wide rollout.
- Phase 3
Roll out & operate
Ongoing
Roll the OS out across remaining portfolio entities — typically 2–4 weeks per entity once the playbook is set. Operate centrally, surface portfolio-level reporting.
Pricing
Portfolio engagements typically start at $15,000 per month.
Scales with portfolio size and operational complexity. The cost is meaningful versus a single advisory retainer — and trivial versus what the same standardization would cost run by a team of consultants and per-portco operators.
