How do we support our portfolio companies?
What sets us apart is our unique Customer Success Approach: that’s why we’re called the Startup Success Team. We know that entrepreneurs need high-quality, rapid problem solving on a daily basis.
Our assistance ranges from simple tasks, like helping a founder access a business lead, to more complex issues, like opening a new market—and even to personal matters, such as assisting a founder in securing a loan for their flat. Since 2019, we’ve responded to more than 2000 requests from our portfolio founders and executives within 48 hours, boasting an 82% success rate. Thanks to an intensive product and automation approach, every one of our portfolio companies has benefitted from our support.
01
NETWORK INTROS
For Business, Fundraising, Expertise, and Talent introductions, we open our consolidated network to our founders.
Example: +100 talent introductions done in 2023.
02
TALKS AND COACHING
We organize workshops, personal coaching, peer co-development sessions, one-on-one introductions, founders’ dinners, and more.
Example: Founders love the media training we offer before each new fundraising announcement.

PLAYBOOKS AND BENCHMARKS
We leverage the 250+ portfolio companies we’ve invested in to offer comprehensive overviews of critical scaling issues.
We negotiate huge discounts on the most popular services startups need, such as AWS, Hubspot, Stripe and more!
Example: Our portfolio saves an average of €1M per year.

What do founders have to say about us?
When founders ask us what we can offer, we love to introduce them to the entrepreneurs from our portfolio companies. They’re the best people to ask about XAnge’s support.
“Really love to work with XAnge! I believe your startup offerings/building ecosystem is best in class.”
We believe that every company should benefit from our extensive knowledge about startup growth. Here’s a little of what XAnge portfolio companies get access to when joining the XAnge family:
Our team has a wide range of complementary skills, from Executive Coaching and Product Management to Tech and Operations. Our expertise? Knowing what happens at every growth step of a company and helping founders and their management teams reduce their learning curves.
