accelerating your growth performance

Founders, Exec Boards and great-growth leaders are always looking for the switch. The switch that they can flick in their companies that illuminates and powers their people to drive growth, build scale and release value. In the new emerging post COVID world, it’s now crucial for leaders to be able to continually reset, reimagine and recover. They now have new needs and requirements and are seeking agile advisors to help them mitigate disruption and achieve their passionate growth goals in continually shifting and changing landscapes.

 

Why us?

Ambitious great-growth companies understand that those who used value creation teams during the last recession produced higher exit returns in their valuations and raised more capital afterwards. But finding a team of trusted partners to inspire and innovate with you, who are have the same hunger and ambition for scale and growth is often a challenge. At Lightbulb that’s exactly what we do, because as a value creation team like no other, we know where the switch is for scale.
