Most portfolio companies struggle with capability gaps in sales and marketing, leading to missed growth targets and lower valuations. But until now, operating partners have lacked an efficient, scalable way to improve commercial capabilities across their portfolios. That’s why SBI created Knowledge Services.
Move portfolio companies from a 52% likelihood to a 95% likelihood of meeting revenue growth targets.
