--- title: "The LeanScale Investor Network" canonical_url: "https://www.leanscale.team/knowledge/investors/" firms: 54 updated: "2026-10-20" --- # The LeanScale Portfolio Program Board decks show the pipeline. We fix what’s under it. LeanScale runs GTM operations inside venture and PE-backed companies: the CRM, the funnel data, the systems and the team that runs them. More than 350 investment firms back the companies we have run it for. > A value creation team covers dozens of companies with a handful of people. GTM operations is where most of those companies stall. - **One read for every company.** Conversion rate and time in stage at every step, from first touch to closed and on to expansion. The same method in every company, so the results compare. - **A team, not a deck.** Architects and engineers inside the CRM, building the fix. A flat monthly fee, so there are no hours to police. - **The whole funnel.** Revenue, marketing, growth and financial operations, so one team owns the path from lead to cash. ## What the program gives your team - **A diagnostic for any portfolio company.** We read the funnel from the company’s own systems and hand the CEO a ranked list of fixes. No intake forms, no survey. - **Sessions at your summits.** A working session for your CEOs or revenue leaders on the two numbers GTM operations owns: conversion and cycle time. - **One scorecard across the portfolio.** With each company’s say-so, every diagnostic lands on the same scorecard, so your team can read the portfolio side by side. - **A team when they are ready.** When a company wants the work done, an embedded team runs it, from the CRM rebuild to the board-ready reporting. - **A named partner at LeanScale.** One person who knows your portfolio, keeps introductions moving and tells you plainly when a company is not a fit. ## How it works 1. **You introduce a company.** Or we meet the CEO at one of your events. Either way, the company decides whether to go ahead. 2. **We run the diagnostic.** From their CRM and marketing systems, not from interviews. Where a stage isn’t tracked, we say so instead of guessing. 3. **The CEO gets the readout.** The fixes, ranked by what they do to conversion and cycle time. Your team is in the room if the CEO wants it. 4. **They choose.** Fix it in-house with our playbooks, or bring in a LeanScale team. Either answer is a good outcome. ## The network 54 firms that back two or more companies LeanScale has worked with. We never say which companies. ### Venture capital - [8VC](https://www.leanscale.team/knowledge/investors/8vc/), Austin, Texas - [9Yards Capital](https://www.leanscale.team/knowledge/investors/9yards-capital/), San Francisco, California -

If you want a reference from a company you back, ask us and we will ask them. **Which companies is this for?** B2B companies from their first revenue team to growth stage, usually on Salesforce or HubSpot. The diagnostic tells both sides quickly whether there is real work to do. **How is this different from a consultancy?** Consultants leave a deck. Our teams run the systems: they build in the CRM, own the data and stay accountable for the numbers. **Our firm isn’t listed. Can we join?** Yes. The list is the firms behind companies we have already worked with, 54 of them with two or more. Book an intro and we will start with one of your companies.
