The Bottom Line

Counterweight went from erratic, founder-dependent income to steady, recurring revenue and a business that stands on its own. An asset, not a job.

Before Volare

The vision was clear but the plan wasn’t. Pholeo knew where it wanted to be but had no target valuation, no sales engine, and no visibility into the margin behind each offer. The sales that drove the business lived with the founders, the services had grown into an unruly patchwork, and there was no way to know, week to week, whether the company was on pace.

After Volare

Now the vision has real numbers behind it — a valuation target, a sales engine, and margin visibility on every offer. The services are a clean, tiered lineup, the sales motion runs as a documented engine instead of living in the founders’ heads, and the team can tell in any given week exactly where they stand. What felt like carrying the whole company now feels like running it with control and confidence.

What We Did
Grew revenue

Turned founder-led selling into a scalable, predictable revenue modela sharply defined ideal client, a documented sales playbook, and a segmented pipeline timed to each prospect’s buying window. The sharpened messaging now pulls real clicks and real inquiries.

Increased profitability

Productized the work into a clean, tiered Signature Service with defined scope and price points — turning scattered, ad-hoc project work into a structured, higher-margin offer.

Financial modeling and budget discipline

Built a reverse-engineered plan with real numbers attached: a target valuation, a revenue model, defined founder payouts, and the pacing to hit them, plus the visibility to see the true economics of every product and engagement.

Streamlined operations

Reframed the hybrid model so the services arm funds and de-risks the higher-multiple SaaS business — turning a perceived drag into a deliberate strength that steadies the company through market volatility.
