Portfolio companies

At Polychrome, we are operators at heart.

Go-to-Market Experience

Polychrome’s partners have decades of experience building and scaling best-in-class software GTM operations and teams. We started Polychrome to bring this collective experience to overlooked companies and help them achieve outcomes that they would not be able to on their own.

Hands-on Execution

When we buy a company we get to work right away; working with founders, executing proven frameworks, and hiring high performance teams. Our focus on hands-on execution has proven to be a differentiator for founders, employees and investors alike.

Better Together

In Polychrome, founders have a partner that's aligned to their best interest. We acquire businesses that have found product market fit, but need operational support in GTM execution to grow to the next level. We then work together to drive growth and hold the company for the long term.
