For programme partners

You support hundreds of companies. Which ones are commercially stuck, and why?

Programme support is usually timed by the calendar, not by need, because nobody can see where each company’s selling is actually breaking. The Closing Score changes that: an 8-minute diagnostic, white-labelled for your programme, that shows where every company is stuck, why, and which support will move it.

Portfolio wide visibility. Evidence based routing. Your brand on the front.

Who we work with

1

Accelerators

Prove revenue traction earlier and route the right founders to the right help.

2

Member organisations

Give members support they can feel, and see which ones need it.

3

Economic development agencies

Turn support budgets into evidenced outcomes, jobs and GVA.

1The problem

Your companies’ problem is sales execution. Your problem is seeing it.

Support is calendar-timed

The wrong help arrives on schedule

Workshops and programmes land when they’re scheduled, not when a company needs them. The company that needed qualification help in March gets a pricing webinar in June.

Routing is guesswork

Generic help meets specific problems

Without a common way to see where each company is stuck, generic help goes to specific problems. Good founders get the same content as everyone else.

Reporting counts activity, not capability

Attendance is not evidence

Attendance and event counts don’t tell a board whether companies can now sell. Budget gets harder to defend every year.

2How it works

One score. Three views. Every company routed.

Each company answers plain-English questions about how their selling actually runs, about 8 minutes, no deal data, no system access. The score does the rest.

The founder sees

Where their growth is stuck, which KPI is under pressure, what to fix first, and three actions. Genuinely useful on its own, which is why founders complete it.

Your team sees

Every company banded Red, Amber or Green, the primary problem named in plain English, and a recommended route, with human override where judgement should win.

Your leadership sees

Portfolio heatmaps by stage and sector, where the red spots cluster, and evidence for where to put time and budget next.

Enable · Event to pipeline

Turn a cohort’s trade missions into qualified pipeline.

GamePlan is an event-to-pipeline sprint. It turns a trade mission, conference or portfolio showcase into inspectable, sales-qualified pipeline, instead of a stack of business cards that goes cold the week after. You can run it across a whole cohort at once.

Before the event

Targets, research and a pitch card per founder.

On the stand

A three-line routine and one shared capture sheet.

Follow-through

A meeting-first cadence, days 1 to 14.

Advance

Weekly qualified-lead reviews and an ROI report.

A cohort dashboard rolls up event impact across the portfolio: leads, meetings, qualified opportunities, pipeline and won value, one view per company.

Enable · Skills that stick

Two bootcamps. One for selling, one for building the team that sells.

Live, operator-led cohorts plus a 30-day sprint so the habits hold after the room empties. Run either across a cohort at once; the score tells you which founders need which.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Closing Foundry partner get?

A white-labelled score that reads the whole portfolio in minutes, a routing view that points each company to the right support, and portfolio reporting you can take to your own stakeholders, plus the delivery to back it: 121s, Bootcamps, GamePlan, 5 Days to Scale and the full install.

How does a partner engagement start?

It starts with a Partner Call to map the portfolio and how value is shared. From there we pilot the score across one cohort or portfolio slice plus one routed intervention, then scale across the ladder with a joint case study. The mechanics are agreed up front so it’s clean for everyone.

What kind of companies are best suited to programme support?

Programme support works best for founders and scale-ups with a product or service they can sell, who need clearer commercial priorities, stronger qualification habits, better event follow-up, more practical GTM planning or more confidence in how to turn growth activity into qualified pipeline. Stage and sector matter less than commercial readiness to act.
