Founders and Leaders
Human-centric strategic growth capital to deliver your vision
We bring people, ideas and capital together to ignite growth. You have a fierce desire and urgency to grow but you don’t know who to turn to or what they’ll be like to work with. We do. We work closely with entrepreneurial founders, leaders and management teams to bring their dreams to reality. We understand capital and the investment theses of the right PE houses so that you don’t have to waste time and neither do they. Everybody wins with Dx³.
We value transparency and straightforwardness in our dealings so that we can be a trusted partner at the most transformative times of your professional life. That’s why our value creation planning is full-spectrum, to make the most of your strategic approach, encompassing your strengths and the right type of strategic growth capital.
We are experts at bringing the right people and the right capital together, saving everyone time, money and stress. Our experience in consulting to and creating, building and selling some of the most exciting businesses in the modern world means that we are passionate about innovators and mavericks – those who are driving growth by doing it their way.
One of the things we’ve learnt from numerous conversations with founders and leaders is that while they know the markets they serve and their own and their competitors’ businesses extremely well, they more often than not lack knowledge and experience of the financial markets and particularly the role and value of external investment in helping them to realise their growth ambitions and/or monetisation objectives. This is where we often start working with businesses.

Case Study 1 – Working with a management team …
Our research identified an opportunity to carve out a successful integrated marketing agency from a larger group and create significant value for the management team and a potential new owner. The business has a strong base in Europe with a growing APAC and US presence.
Working with the management team we found our ideas for taking the business forward and theirs were aligned, and we negotiated an exclusive offer process with the current owners. We developed a value creation plan including services growth and geographic expansion to enable the business to support global customers and serve customers across more of the value chain. The re-shaped business would generate significantly more EBITDA and attract a higher multiple.
We introduced a prospective investor who had the capacity and skills to support the management team on the next stage of their journey; had a strong cultural fit with the management team; and met the vendor’s criteria of being proceedable and a known quantity to them.
