Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 131: Matt Amico, Turn/River Capital | Growth Engineering and the FVCP Framework
Q: What does the diligence process look like when you're considering working with a portfolio company or target investment?
Diligence centers on revenue sources, attribution, and whether the founders and management will embrace a structured operating system. We emphasize direct founder relationships, transparency about what we'll change, and a clear pathway to accelerate growth and profitability.
Ep. 131: Matt Amico, Turn/River Capital | Growth Engineering and the FVCP Framework
Q: How do you approach budgeting and ensuring investments actually translate into pipeline and EBITDA growth?
We view budgeting as a dynamic, ongoing process tied to pacing and performance. Budgets are refreshed monthly or quarterly; investments are made where they demonstrably move the funnel—whether increasing volume, improving conversion at micro steps, or adjusting pricing structures to prevent revenue drop-offs.
Ep. 131: Matt Amico, Turn/River Capital | Growth Engineering and the FVCP Framework
Q: So can you expand on the growth engineering concept and what it means in practice?
Growth engineering is about decomposing revenue into discrete funnels (new business, renewals, expansion) and then focusing on volume, micro-conversion, and pricing improvements as iterative, weekly moves. It's a holistic, assembly-line style approach that aims to move a 1% improvement every week across inputs and conversions, not just big strategic bets.
Ep. 132: Eugene Polevoy, Blue C Capital | The Independent Sponsor Model and Alignment-First Deals
Q: How do you approach alignment during diligence and after closing to ensure the thesis can be realized?
They discuss gaps and opportunities during diligence, create a 100-day plan but remain flexible, and emphasize ongoing dialogue with management to maintain alignment; the execution is a shared effort where management executes most of the on-the-ground changes while the sponsor provides analytics, governance, and strategic direction.
Ep. 132: Eugene Polevoy, Blue C Capital | The Independent Sponsor Model and Alignment-First Deals
Q: How do you determine the economics and the hurdle rates given you don't rely on a conventional management fee?
They set economics based on what is attractive to investors and what the deal warrants, with a heavier emphasis on carry and disciplined pricing to ensure sufficient upside; a higher 10% preferred return is used to prioritize investor safety, and the carry aligns their incentives with strong performance.
