Investment firms are built to move fast. But behind the bold bets and capital deployed lies a quieter challenge: execution.

Deploying capital is the first part. The real test begins in the months that follow, when market shifts, operational gaps, and strategic decisions demand immediate attention. The in-house talent may not be equipped to overcome the challenges, and hiring takes time, with search processes at mid-to-senior levels often spanning six months.

Around half of the PE firms report that their portfolio companies are understaffed, a strain that becomes evident when these companies need to scale, adapt, or course-correct.

In response, many firms are relying on on-demand expertise or specialists who can step in, solve challenges, and deliver outcomes from Day 1.

At Flexing It, we have partnered with investment firms globally to meet this need. From solutioning support, to business model design to improving operational efficiency, our consultants have supported critical moments of growth and transition.
