The Value Proposition

Our What we give your portfolio.

VCs bring us in when a company needs traction, a reset, or help getting to the next funding milestone — fast and effectively. Here’s how we create value across your portfolio.

Embedded Execution — Not Advice

We don’t hand founders a report. We embed operating partners directly into the company to execute GTM, lead revenue operations, manage technology buildout, and hold C-suite accountability — from day one.

Speed to Value

We start with the Value Creation Blueprint — a structured 6-week assessment that surfaces the highest-leverage opportunities and begins execution immediately. No 90-day onboarding. No deliverables that sit on shelves.

Exit-Oriented From Day One

Every engagement is architected to maximize enterprise value — not just quarterly KPIs. We think about buyer positioning, recurring revenue quality, and deal readiness throughout the engagement, not just at the end.

Flexible Engagement Structures

Short-turn engagements to tackle a specific challenge. Longer-term partnerships to drive full company transformation. Fixed-fee pricing, two-week Sprints, and no long-term contracts — structured to fit your portfolio needs.

VC Network & Capital Access

DragonflyOP maintains active relationships with VCs, family offices, and growth equity investors. When a portfolio company is ready to raise, we can help prepare them and facilitate introductions to the right capital partners.

Full Transparency

Sprint reviews, KPI dashboards, and shared tracking throughout every engagement. VCs have full visibility into what we’re working on, what’s moving, and what’s at risk — so you’re never in the dark on your investment.

How the Partnership Works

Structured for portfolio scale.

01
Establish the Relationship

We formalize VC partnerships through a Memorandum of Understanding — creating a trusted execution channel for both active portfolio companies and high-potential pipeline companies you’re considering.

02
Identify Portfolio Fit

Together, we identify which portfolio companies are the best candidates for DragonflyOP engagement — based on stage, challenge, and potential for value creation. We’re selective by design.

03
Introduce to the Founder
We meet with the founding team, conduct a rapid assessment, and determine if there’s mutual fit for an engagement. No pressure. We don’t take every company that comes our way.
04
Launch the Blueprint

Engagement begins with the Value Creation Blueprint — six weeks, fixed fee, with execution starting in parallel. You receive regular updates throughout.

05
Drive to Milestone

Subsequent Sprints drive toward the agreed milestone — whether that’s a fundraise, a revenue target, a market launch, or a strategic exit. We measure everything and report back throughout.

Partnership Structure

The DragonflyOP / VC MOU

Our formal MOU with VC partners establishes DragonflyOP as a preferred execution resource for the fund — creating a fast-track engagement model for portfolio companies that need operational support.

When VCs Call Us

The situations we resolve.

These are the most common reasons VC firms engage DragonflyOP for their portfolio companies.

Growth Plateau
Revenue growth has stalled and the founding team doesn't know why.

We conduct the Value Creation Blueprint to surface the root cause — whether it’s a GTM problem, a product-market fit gap, a pricing issue, or an operational bottleneck — and execute a plan to break through.

Founder-Led Sales
The CEO is still running every sales conversation and it's not scaling.

We install the infrastructure and accountability frameworks that turn a founder-led sales effort into a scalable, predictable revenue engine.

Strategic Reset
The company needs a full operational audit and a new path forward.

We embed at the board level, conduct a 360° assessment of all functions, and deliver an actionable opportunities map with clear recommendations — then stay to execute the reset plan.

Exit Preparation
The company is approaching exit-readiness and needs to be positioned correctly.

We run a mini diligence process to identify and close value gaps, build the equity story and deal room, and actively manage the process to maximize valuation — having done this successfully across multiple exits.

Next Round Readiness
The company needs to hit specific metrics to unlock the next funding round.

We build a clear roadmap to the funding milestone, embed the operators needed to hit the numbers, and help prepare the company for institutional investor diligence.

Leadership Gap
A key executive has departed and there's a critical function without leadership.

We step in immediately as interim C-suite — stabilizing the function, running day-to-day operations, and recruiting a permanent replacement while ensuring zero disruption to business momentum.

What Founders Say

Outcomes that speak for themselves.

The proof is in the portfolio companies we’ve worked with. Here’s what founders say about the DragonflyOP experience.

“Through the execution of a 7-month growth services engagement, DragonflyOP executed our go-to-market strategy that realized an ROI of more than 4,000%. They were able to sell off my legacy business unit at a vastly increased $36 million valuation. Upon successful exit, I then brought DragonflyOP on to help me start and scale my next business.”

Richard Smith

Founder & CEO, Tradesmith

“DragonflyOP worked with us for 18 months. In that time, we more than 3x revenue and 4x valuation, growing from under $3M ARR to nearly $10M ARR. After performing the Value Creation Blueprint that led to the exact roadmap to grow and sell our business, they held numerous roles and eventually hired full time replacements for themselves. They deliver. End stop.”

Abram Liverio
Co-Founder & CEO, O.R. Trax
“Dragonfly’s operators don’t just advise — they partnered with us on our go-to-market overhaul, from ICP validation to demand generation to ARR. As a result, we increased pipeline by 350%+, slashed our CAC, and are now accelerating revenue.”
Jim Schimpf
CEO & Co-Founder, Chattr
We had a fast-growing business on our hands until we hit a wall at $3M ARR. I knew we had something special but needed help scaling in a predictable way. DragonflyOP diagnosed our company quickly and put a growth program in place. In a few short months, ~30% revenue growth, and after 2 years 375% ARR growth — sold for 5x the valuation.
