Value Creation, Made Simple

Demand Karma provides practical, prioritised plans of accountability, not lengthy reports.
Pre-Deal DD

I'll perform a comprehensive due diligence review on your target company's GTM capabilities before you make your investment.

What you'll get:

1) A practical report identifying gaps, opportunities, and key focus areas for delivering a lean GTM strategy.

2) An accountability roadmap to help the target company upgrade its sales and marketing capabilities over a 12 month period (I can assist with executing against this roadmap).

Post-Deal DD

If you've made an investment in the last 3-6 months and you're not clear or happy about the G2M strategy, Demand Karma can help.

Whether it's reviewing an operating model, refining a sales strategy or setting priorities around a plan of accountability, we give VCs confidence that their portfolio company is going to get back on the right path and not stall.

Invester Readiness

Are you looking to raise a funding round in the next 6-8 months.Are you looking to 'get your house in order' to attract and secure investors for your upcoming funding round?

I'll look into your metrics, people, and processes to give you a clear idea of what actions will get you investor-ready.

Talent Vetting

Are you confident that you have the right talent across your teams? Looking to expand your team but need help prioritizing hires, vetting candidates, or crafting the right mix of skills?

If you need confidence that you’re hiring the right people into the right places, Demand Karma identifies talent gaps, flags leadership issues, and filters talent based on your specific needs and growth stage.

Value Creation

In my role as a Fractional Operating Partner, I’ve worked on value creation for 50+ scale-ups in the last three years.

I’ve developed a proprietary sprint process that creates value for your portfolio companies — deploying into a business, identifying gaps, and presenting actionable steps to address the right focus areas.

When it comes to B2B SaaS marketing, Ed hits the sweet-spot. Clear, methodical, well thought through guidance to what can be a complex area. Ed would be a great part for most scale-up (if you can get into his diary).

Edwin was a pleasure to work with and gave excellent go-to-market strategy insights during the due diligence of a B2B SaaS investment we made at Octopus Ventures. He gave tailored advice and recommendations and was not afraid to make out of the box suggestions on S&M org structure and customer acquisition & upsell strategies. I would highly recommend Edwin for GTM Strategy advice and due diligence.

Wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending Ed after getting to know him during our funding round last year. The DD project undertaken was pretty unique from my perspective in the way that it got the job in hand done, but also really helped me enhance my thinking around things we should be doing at Delio post investment. Often the report output is a means to an end but Ed's work has been something tangible that we've been able utilise going forward. I continue to stay in touch with Ed as we look at other ways of working together at Delio now and in the future.

Edwin has been a delight to work with and exceptionally valuable to the work we do with young companies. He has helped struggling companies to turnaround their challenged marketing strategy, as well as support growing companies to further refine their value proposition. On top of that, he's educated our investment team on what good looks like in sales systems and processes. Edwin also isn't afraid to advise on sectors beyond his classical SaaS experience - something that's very helpful for generalist investors. Thank you Ed!

Ed worked with Evotix from December 2021 to April 2022 to support our marketing team while we established new leadership and engaged and onboarded agencies. Ed provided advice to me (CEO - but effectively acting CMO over this period) and coaching and support to the team collectively and individually. Ed has deep and practical insight into all aspects of marketing and was always available and helpful. He has a framework or template for everything!! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him

We engaged Ed to carry out a full Marketing and Sales due diligence. He not only provided us with a honest and frank review of how we are working, but also some fantastic insights and recommendations that have now been embraced by the team.
