Addmustard has a proven track record of working with founders to boost the value of their businesses
Why do some major companies succeed in attracting almost unlimited growth capital in their early stages of development, while rivals struggled to secure backing or build valuations? Private businesses dominate growth
markets: 87% of US companies with revenues above $100m are private*, and 64% of the UK’s 500 largest businesses are privately owned**. Investors consistently cite three factors in their decision-making to back private companies: a distinct brand proposition, efficient and scalable marketing and robust technology platforms.

scaling. According to Pitchbook, private equity investors will pay a 25-35% premium for businesses demonstrating marketing efficiency.
TURNING GROWTH INTO VALUE This is the space where Addmustard, a full service marketing agency built for entrepreneurs, operates. Since 2012, Addmustard has been working on a performance fee model that shares risk and reward, helping founders to sharpen propositions, reduce marketing costs and build scalable tech that investors value. The results speak for themselves:
• Focus Group, the B2B telecoms to cybersecurity business, grew its valuation by 300% in four years.
• Sokito, the sustainable sports brand, achieved five times valuation growth in just two years after brand investment and digital marketing acceleration.
• Marsh & Parsons, a 168-year-old chain of London estate agents, exited at three times the multiple of its peer group after a seven-year integrated brand campaign.
As one angel investor put it: “As
investors, we want clarity of brand and the efficiency of the marketing engine to set the company apart — Addmustard has helped me with that across a number of businesses.”

entrepreneurs means it doesn’t just deliver campaigns — it builds lasting value in its clients’ brands and businesses. For founders, that can mean not only growth, but exits and legacies that outperform the market. Because when it comes to
attracting investors, it’s not about luck. It’s about being ready.
