The GAP

Internal Press Release, March 2026

Turning Marginal Growth $20M–$50M Companies into $100M–$500M Outcomes

What We Do

The GAP (Growth Acceleration Platform) helps mid-sized companies grow faster, become more profitable, and achieve significantly higher exit values.

We work with companies that are doing $20M–$50M in revenue but are not reaching their full potential.

Our goal:
Guide them to become $100M–$500M enterprise value businesses

Why The GAP Exists

Companies that stall at revenue peaks struggle with:

  • Weak and sub-par vision
  • Too many priorities
  • No clear roadmap
  • Poor execution
  • Misaligned leadership
  • Not knowing what actually drives value

We fix this by installing a clear, structured path to enterprise value—and ensuring it gets executed.

Built by Proven Operators

The GAP is not a consulting firm.

It is built by former CEOs and operators who have:

  • Built companies worth $1B+
  • Sold businesses for hundreds of millions
  • Scaled brands to $100M+ revenue
  • Increased EBITDA by 300%–500%
  • Raised $270M+ in capital

Leadership Team

  • Mark Parrish (CEO) — $1.6B+ value creation, multi-company CEO
  • Yann Boulbain — Global consumer brand scaling & exits
  • Jeff Keller — Tech, telecom, and AI growth + $750M exit exposure
  • Erik Frankl — Industrial scaling + 300–500% EBITDA growth
  • Mike Monaghan — $100M+ platform CEO, PE-backed scaling
  • Larry Tchamkertenian — Turnarounds, exits, and $1B+ platform experience

Our Core Insight

Business is business.

We estimate:

  • 85% of value creation is transferable across industries
  • 15% is industry-specific

The 85% includes:

  • Revenue growth and predictability
  • Margin and EBITDA expansion
  • Leadership alignment
  • Capital strategy
  • Exit positioning

For the remaining 15%, we bring in specialists and cross-functional expertise to apply the best strategies for each business.

How It Works

We install a system that tells companies:

  • What to do
  • When to do it
  • How to do it

And then we make sure they do it.

Every engagement includes:

  • A clear enterprise value roadmap
  • Weekly execution with experienced operators
  • Access to capital, M&A, and executive talent
  • Continuous adjustments based on performance

What We Focus On

Only what increases enterprise value:

  • Revenue quality and scalability
  • Profitability and margin expansion
  • Leadership and execution
  • Strategic growth initiatives
  • Exit readiness and positioning

If it doesn’t increase value, it’s not a priority.

The Outcome

Clients move from:

  • Stalled growth
    → to structured scale

From:

  • $20M–$50M+ companies
    → to $100M–$500M outcomes

Positioning

“We don’t give advice.
We build the roadmap and drive your team’s EV outcome to completion.”
