// it's the moment to build or take value

Get the multiple back before you sell.

You know AI has harmed valuations. Your company or portfolio companies have a short window to create or extract value. We help them use it.

// we help you execute two paths

Profit now. Advantage that lasts. Usually both.

Path A

Run it for profit.

Your ops play.

Revenue per employee Pricing Agents doing real work
Path B

Build the advantage.

Something defensible that customers will vouch for, with traction behind it, and ideally compounding.

Strategy has never mattered more.

// what we can help you do

The quarter no longer sets the pace.

01

Rebuild how the company runs

Company brain, AI chief of staff, new team structures. Goals set in days and delivered in 1 to 8 weeks. Hit one, set the next. The quarter no longer sets the pace.

02

Plan in short sprints

Each sprint starts with a focused one-day planning session. The team arrives prepared, leaves with goals they own, and gets follow-up and follow-through until the goals are hit.

03

Bring people along

Leadership development and change management that move staff from fearing AI to being rewarded for using it.

04

Weekly accountability

A member of our team with time to help, pushing progress on leading indicators every week.

05

Prepare for the buyer

Revenue per employee, retention and AI impact presented the way a buyer will judge them in diligence, ready for a sale or bolt-ons.

// what you see

One monthly report, across every company we work with.

It tracks value, not activity, so you see what's moving before the lagging numbers do.

ZOKRIValue Creation Plan Report
Weekly: faster? Monthly: real?
Weekly

Is the company getting faster?

Speed shows up in the work long before it shows up in the accounts. These are the leading indicators, checked every week.

Time to achieve

How long each goal takes from set to hit, and whether that is shrinking.

Time to learn

How quickly a team tests an idea, gets an answer and acts on it.

Value from AI

Work that is now faster, cheaper or better because of AI, not how many people logged in.

A growing brain

What the company brain knows this week that it didn't know last week, and how often teams use it.

Monthly

Is the advantage real?

The market decides whether a company has an advantage. Customers show it through their choices, and the data proves it.

Win rate

Against named competitors, and the reasons customers give.

Retention and expansion

Who stays, who buys more, and why.

Pricing power

Whether customers accept price rises or new pricing without churning.

References

Customers willing to vouch for you to a buyer.

The result
Revenue per employee

The result of all of the above, and the number a buyer checks first. See the UK RPE Index →

// ready to be deployed

A tightly knit team, in the room with yours.

Matt, the exited founder

Strategy, operating model and planning

One VC-backed SaaS exit. Former Chief Product Officer, Data Science Team Lead and Chief Strategy Officer; strategy and OKR implementation consultant, workshop facilitator and leadership coach. A systems thinker with an entrepreneurial mindset, and worked with some of Europe's fastest-growing scale-ups and enterprise tech companies, product-led and sales-led. High energy, think fast, do faster: a battery your team can draw on.

Peter, the senior operator

Senior operator

Super smart and straight-talking, focused on outcomes. Spots the problem and helps the people who need to raise the bar, change their mindset and do their best work. Has been in the rooms where plans are shaped and decisions are made, at some of the world's biggest and scrappiest companies. Your teams will need that experience and candour to raise their game.

Johan, the people leader

Leadership and culture

Another highly experienced tech company leader. Takes charge of leadership development and the culture a new operating model needs. The softer people skills your teams will need, and appreciate. He cares about the numbers as much as you do, and he also sees the person, something you might not have the time or the skills to do as well. One needs the other.

Chrisna, change and M&A lead

Operational excellence and M&A

Microsoft and King, to name but a few of the logos behind years of M&A and change leadership. Drives the functions to raise the bar and get closer to operational excellence, and, where needed, builds AI maturity and the company brain.

Florent, the GTM expert

Go-to-market and growth

Will challenge how marketing works: the approach, the tech stack and the mindset. Speeding up time to learn and improving how leads are generated. Coaching teams to find new growth when you need it: now.

Ian, the product leader

Product and delivery

A senior product leader who will help you find the gears your product team is going to need to deliver what customers need. Calm, insightful and pragmatic.

// the model

Pay for time, or pay for results.

You choose. We prefer the second, because it means we've agreed with you what success looks like and we're both watching the same numbers.

Option 1

Day rate.

Simple and predictable. You book the time you need, from the people you need, and scale it up or down as the work changes.

Best when the scope is clear and short
Option 2Our preference

Day rate plus results.

A lower day rate, with the rest tied to outcomes we agree up front. Our incentives line up with yours, and with the buyer's.

01Agree success

What good looks like, in numbers, before we start.

02Track it

In the same monthly report you already see.

03Share the upside

We earn more when you do.

// questions to ask

Q&A

What does ZOKRI do for PE and VC portfolio companies? +

We help portfolio companies create or extract value in a 12 to 18 month window. That means two paths: running the business for profit through revenue per employee, pricing and AI agents doing real work, and building a defensible advantage that customers will vouch for.

How do you increase revenue per employee with AI? +

We can evolve how the company runs: a company brain, an AI chief of staff and new team structures. Goals are set in days and delivered in 1 to 8 weeks, and we bring people along so staff are rewarded for using AI rather than fearing it.

What is in the Value Creation Plan Report? +

One consistent monthly report across every company we work with. Weekly, it shows whether the company is getting faster: time to achieve, time to learn, value from AI and the growth of the company brain. Monthly, it shows whether the advantage is real: win rate, retention and expansion, pricing power, references and revenue per employee.

How do you run planning? +

In short sprints. Each sprint starts with a focused one-day planning session. The team arrives prepared, leaves with goals they own, and gets weekly follow-up and follow-through until the goals are hit.

How do you prepare a company for sale? +

We present revenue per employee, retention and AI impact the way a buyer will judge them in diligence, so the company is ready for a sale or bolt-ons.

How do you charge? +

A day rate, or a hybrid of a lower day rate plus results. We prefer the hybrid when we can agree with you what success looks like and track it in the monthly report.
