Matching sales capacity with demand gen using a Bottoms Up Growth Model

We recommend better understanding your revenue metrics by matching the output from demand gen with sales capacity to recreate revenue forecasts and make budget decisions. At Stage 2 Capital, we work with our portfolio companies on what we call the “Bottoms Up Growth Model” to: 

  • Increase forecasting visibility using a quantitative lens.
  • Set the pace for scaling to achieve “profitable growth”
  • Build revenue targets for upcoming quarters hiring needs
  • Offer more accurate projections to board members
  • Enable teams to reach peak performance

"Entrepreneurial CEOs tell me the biggest challenge facing startups today is understanding how to create a strategy for growth and putting together the tactics to implement the plan. However, the vast majority of people in their orbit are only knowledgeable about financial metrics, not sales and marketing. Stage 2 Capital is precisely what those CEOs need because we deliver deep growth expertise along with our investment."
