Investment Lifecycle
Add-On Acquisitions
Add-ons look accretive on paper but introduce leadership friction that erodes the platform thesis.
Sponsor Problem
Add-ons introduce leadership friction that traditional integration planning doesn't account for — cultural collision, power dynamics, and authority dilution.
CEO Problem
Silent resistance from legacy teams, personal authority dilution during integration, and the burden of integration falling disproportionately on the CEO.
Most add-on value leakage happens in the first 6–12 months post-close.
