We support those navigating the ‘messy middle’.

Early on, you did what the company needed.

Unsustainable approaches are the best strategy to get things off the ground. But eventually they break.

Now there’s a team and you need to transition.

What you know intuitively isn’t translating. An approach that worked a year ago isn’t as reliable.

$1 to $10 million

in annual revenue is where we focus. We call this post-PMF and pre-mass market adoption period the ‘messy middle’.

Some of the founders we’ve worked with.

“Even in our first conversation, Trellace provided incredibly sharp and actionable advice on our strategy.”

“

Spencer Hall

Co-Founder, LoneReport

“We have a technical product in a complex market. Trellace understood it immediately, identified our real value to customers, and helped us shape the organization around it.”

“

Dr. Joaquin Ferrer

CEO, repath

“The results speak for themselves. We went from one referred client a month to six self-sourced clients in the last 30 days.”

“

Toby Green

Co-Founder, MyCarbon

“I’m always skeptical about bringing in external growth advisors. The Trellace model is genuinely different, fostering a true partnership where they’re in the trenches fighting from your corner and invested in long term, sustainable growth. Highly recommend.”

“

Gus Bartholomew

Co-Founder, Leafr

“It feels like the future of early-stage support.”

“

Neil Yeoh

Founder & CEO, OnePointFive

“Founders often have an intuitive sense of what’s not working but we’re too close to see it clearly, and too busy to fix it. Trellace’s perspectives were like flipping on the lights in a room we didn’t realize was dark. Suddenly we had clarity, direction, and the confidence to move forward.”

We start by listening.

We’ll look at the team’s sales calls, the pipeline, and the unwritten rules your business runs on. We won’t know from the outside whether the problem is who you’re selling to, how you’re reaching them, or what happens after they show interest.

Once we have a view, we’ll share what we’d do if we were in your shoes. That might mean changing the offer, focusing the ICP, adjusting pricing, or simply training the team further.

First, let’s talk.

It’s 30 minutes.

Tell us about the business and what you’re trying to change. You’ll get a feel for us and we’ll see if there’s a problem we can solve together.

If there’s a clear, contained problem, we can start with a small piece of work.

If there’s more to do and we can evaluate an aligned financial structure.

We’ll speak with you, review the numbers, come back with the 90-day GTM plan we’d pursue if this was our business. After that, we both decide whether to work together.

Seeing this in a company you back?

A company can have customers, a team, and growing revenue, yet find that what worked before isn’t working quite as well. If someone in your portfolio comes to mind, we’d be glad to meet them.
