Roundtable Growth Partners
RGP gives established companies an accountable senior leader and a bench of operators to find the best growth opportunity, prove it in the market, and build it into how the business runs.
Where we work: business services, financial services, education and consumer, for companies and sponsors at an inflection point.
Why Roundtable
The name is the method. The best growth solutions come when the sponsor, the management team, the customer-facing teams and the specialists all have an equal say, and the best idea wins on evidence.
Growth is the objective. We execute with virtual partners and a strong bench of vertical talent, assembled around each mandate rather than carried as overhead. One accountable leader stays on the work from first diagnosis to handoff.
How we create growth
Devin Schain leads growth through three routes, and weighs them against one another so capital and management time go where the evidence is strongest.
Start with the customers and business you already have. We run small, well-designed tests and bounded pilots to learn what will work before committing real money.
Distribution, referral and capability relationships that extend reach, strengthen the offer and speed entry into a market, with clear value for both sides.
Smaller acquisitions that add customers, products, geography or talent, sourced through Devin's network and judged against build and partner options.
Our approach
We start from the outcome you need and work backward, with a decision at the end of every step.
Agree the outcome, baseline and decision rights. Find the real constraint in demand, offer, pricing, distribution or execution.
Probe one important uncertainty cheaply, such as customer interest, price response or partner appetite.
Run the promising approach in the market with real customers, partners and teams, and track adoption and economics.
Decide with evidence, hand off to a permanent owner, and document what was learned.
A test shows whether an idea earns the next step. A pilot shows how a repeatable model performs in real conditions. We label the evidence honestly, including what has not yet been proven.
Ways to work together
A ranked growth thesis, the assumptions behind it, the economics and risks, and a 90-day test plan with owners.
One or two high-value tests or pilots in market, a scorecard, and a scale, revise or stop recommendation.
Turn validated work into repeatable practice: a playbook, operating cadence, partner and talent plan, and handoff.
Senior leadership embedded with defined decision rights, to drive a specific growth workstream.
The table
Devin is accountable for scope, decisions and handoff. Specialists join the table only when the work calls for them.
Leads each mandate and owns the client relationship, the quality of decisions and the handoff.
Sales leadership and sales effectiveness for growth mandates.
Execution and operating support to turn pilots into daily practice.
Economics, structuring, and tuck-in evaluation and integration.
Experience
Devin has founded, operated, invested in and served on the boards of for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and has learned from ventures that moved too early as well as ones that followed visible demand.
