Operational Partners for Private Equity · Value Creation · Portfolio Ops · Exit

You bought the thesis. We help build the value.

Whetstone embeds senior operators inside your portfolio companies to execute the value-creation plan — margin expansion, working-capital release and operational fixes — from the first 100 days to exit.

📈  Aligned to your thesis. We work to your hold period, value-creation plan and board reporting — one operating partner across the portfolio.
Where we create value

Where the value-creation plan actually gets built.

A thesis doesn't execute itself. We put senior operators inside the portfolio company to turn the plan into EBITDA.

01

100-Day Plan Execution

Turn the value-creation thesis into action from day one.

02

Margin & EBITDA Expansion

Take out structural cost and lift throughput across the P&L.

03

Working Capital & Cash

Release trapped cash to fund growth and de-risk the hold.

04

Integration & Carve-Out

Stand up or absorb operations cleanly in buy-and-build.

05

Exit Readiness

Clean data, durable improvement and a business that shows well.
