Growth Partner: Revenue Share, Equity & Performance — Benske & Co. Skip to main content
Growth Partner

When the right move is a partner, not a project.

For select opportunities, we take a deeper role in the strategy, execution, and growth of the business or product. Selective by design.

What it is

We get more involved, and we share the outcome.

For select opportunities, we become more involved in the strategy, execution, and growth of the business or product. Instead of only being paid for a project or retainer, we may work through revenue share, equity, performance compensation, or a blended structure.

It is the deepest version of working with us. The same multidisciplinary team across growth, operations, AI, and product, pointed at one outcome and accountable to how it turns out.

We're selective on purpose. Roughly one new partnership per quarter. The pacing protects the work.

When it works

This only works when there is enough trust, access, control, and upside for us to meaningfully influence the result.

If those aren't there, a project or retainer is the better fit, and we'll say so. Growth Partner is not a discount or a way to defer fees. It's a different relationship.

What we bring

Four things, real.

  • Strategy across disciplines

    Marketing, ops, sales, AI, product. The work doesn't get handed across vendors. It lives in one place.

  • Capital where it matters

    We invest cash, time, and equity in the right partnerships. Selective by design, not every conversation goes here.

  • Operating muscle, not just advice

    We ship our own products. Our team executes inside the work, not in slides next to it.

  • Network

    Operators, specialists, capital. We open doors where they help and close them where they don't.

What we look for

The right companies, products, and founders.

Industries where the right systems and tools can change the trajectory:

Manufacturing Home Services Professional Services E-commerce / SaaS Other

And these signals:

  • Real revenue or a clear path to it.
  • Open to changing what's broken, not just adding to what works.
  • Comfortable with a slow start. Partnership decisions take time on both sides.
  • Wants a partner who'll tell them the truth, not flatter them.
How a conversation starts

Three steps, no pressure.

  1. Step 01

    If the thesis lands, the next step is a short note. If it doesn't, no harm done. We're selective on both sides.

  2. Step 02

    Reach out

    Tell us what you're building or thinking about. One paragraph is enough. We respond personally.

  3. Step 03

    Meet a few times

    Partnership decisions are slow on purpose. We meet, we test fit, we look at the work together. Roughly one new partnership per quarter.
