Value creation takes leaders. We have them ready.
Stancein gives venture capital, private equity and family offices free access to CEO, CFO and COO profiles who are discreetly ready for new responsibility — across the entire portfolio. Use the pool for acquisitions, management upgrades and fast changes, without a search fee per case. Book an intro call and get a demo.
Your returns depend on leadership — and leadership is always the bottleneck
Every value-creation plan stands or falls with the team: the new platform needs a CFO with exit experience, the add-on needs integrating by a COO who has done it before, and a management change in the portfolio can rarely wait three to six months for a search process. With several companies in the portfolio, leadership recruitment becomes a recurring cost — in both time and fees.
Stancein works as your standing bench: a pool of operational leaders who have already decided to move, and who can be activated across the portfolio — again and again, without a fee per case.
Speed in critical changes
Candidates are clarified and ready for dialogue now — crucial when the 100-day plan can't wait for a search process.
One access, whole portfolio
Use the pool across every company — platform, add-ons and new acquisitions — at no cost per case.
Discreet management changes
Upgrade portfolio leadership without market noise — matching and dialogue run confidentially until you choose to open up.
Save fees across the fund
Free until placement — then only the candidate's 100-day Executive Onboarding. Across a fund with several leadership changes a year, the saving versus full search fees is substantial.
Pipeline for future deals
Know the leadership candidates before the next acquisition — and strengthen the investment case with a team ready from day one.
Documented mobility
The profiles are searching — discreetly — of their own accord. You don't waste partner meetings on candidates who would never move.
What does it cost the fund?
Access, dialogues and candidates in play are free across the entire portfolio — per company, per case and per introduction. Only when a candidate accepts a contract does the hiring company pay the candidate's 100-day Executive Onboarding program — typically a fraction of a full search fee, and the best insurance that the new leader delivers on the value-creation plan from day one. The program is a fixed part of the model.
Which profiles are relevant for portfolio companies?
Typically CEOs, CFOs, COOs and commercial directors with transformation, growth or exit experience — both profiles in a role searching discreetly, and leaders in transition who can start quickly.
Can our portfolio companies use the access directly?
Yes. Access can sit centrally with the fund, locally with the individual companies — or both. We agree the setup on the intro call.
