For DFIs & philanthropies

Venture value-add, designed with care and deployed efficiently.

With technical assistance budgets under pressure, spend has to move from managing projects to the projects themselves. We design what your venture portfolio needs, run it on our own platform, and bring the people together.

What we do for you

From strategy to the room.

01

Value-add strategy

What your fund managers and their companies actually need, how technical assistance fits your mandate, and where it moves performance and development outcomes.

02

Deployment as your TA facility manager

Scoping, contracting, monitoring and reporting, run through our platform for a fraction of the admin load. Your programme, your brand; we stay in the background.

03

Learning and convening

Portfolio days, learning programmes and peer convenings that build a community around your portfolio, all year round, not one day a year.

04

Learning capture and reporting

What worked, what didn’t and what to fund next, captured so the next programme starts smarter and your funders get the evidence they ask for.

The platform

Technology runs the machinery.

One workflow from scoping to reporting, so programme teams spend their time with fund managers, not with spreadsheets.

  • Standard scoping and selection of support providers
  • Contracting, milestones and monitoring in one place
  • White-labelled per programme, with a small “powered by Spiral Advisory”
  • Co-funder attribution visible on every project
  • Funders extract reports and data in the form they need

How an engagement works

Four steps, one accountable partner.

1

Diagnose

Start with the quick check, then a working session on your portfolio, mandate and pressures.

2

Design

A value-add strategy and delivery model sized to your portfolio and budget.

3

Deploy

We run scoping to reporting on the platform, and host the moments that build the community.

4

Learn

What worked feeds next year’s plan, with evidence your funders can use.
