We work with high-growth, seed to D startups and late-stage scaleups to optimize their largest investment and asset: their people.

Leader Evolution

Planning for succession, especially for founders, is uncomfortable. But there’s a reason “Founder’s Syndrome” exists. Attachment, overconfidence, and naïveté are often associated with successful startups, but these nuanced strengths become quick detriments absent a leadership evolution plan. P5 works with you to understand the gaps and opportunities for growth as your organization scales.

Stakeholder Management

Your investors, board, and GPs have evolved with you. They are critical points of support, and yet, not impartial, not your boss-, but you are accountable to them. P5 works with you to navigate the complexity of these relationships, tailoring your approach for efficacy and value-maximizing content and cadence as you purposefully manage these relationships.

Strategic Pivots

Success requires constant adaptation and a dynamic approach. Macro-level dynamics have increasingly challenged companies to reposition for competitive shifts, monetization models, talent capital, and operational complexities. That kind of disruption can fuel success - if managed intentionally. P5 identifies the factors most likely to derail businesses, and we build tactical matrices with you to ensure continuity.

Executive Alignment

Market-leading organizations create leadership and management structures that adapt to growth stages and dynamic requirements. P5 objectively analyzes organizational anchor points fundamental to driving leader alignment through growth stages- helping you optimize across funding rounds, headcount growth, and global/market expansion.

Executive Recruiting

The right talent on the right team at the right time… P5 thematically curates and engages with the talent market based on your evolving strategic themes. Our expertise in identifying transformative talent gives you leverage to address dynamic organizational needs.

Growth Planning

As your business scales, challenges are constant and dynamic—especially when it comes to people, teams, and structure. With an eye on cash burn, revenue, and funding, P5 codesigns your growth trajectory, fiercely protecting your balance sheet.
