Founder-led software companies, consultancies and platforms in the UK, Europe and North America. Five types where we know the buying journey, the channels and the economics; the engagement starts with the Business Scan.

Strong products losing to weaker ones with clearer stories

Products bought bottom-up by people who distrust marketing

Expert firms that grow on referrals until referrals stop

Two customer sides, one discovery problem

Before the first marketing hire, and usually before the first salesperson
The model transfers wherever a considered B2B purchase is won in research the vendor never sees: hardware with a software layer, training and certification businesses, and professional practices selling to companies. If that is your business, the free Business Scan is the same.
