Breakfast Boost Series- The Hidden Growth Engine: Scaling Growth Through Strategic Partnerships, Channels, and Licensing
Please note: This is an exclusive event for CEOs, presidents and business owners of second-stage companies.
Join us for the next GrowFL Breakfast Boost on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 9am at Northern Trust- Stuart featuring Kaustubh Kale, CEO, Aventusoft/Hemotag
Most second-stage companies grow by adding customers, salespeople, locations, and internal capabilities. But some of the world’s most successful companies created disproportionate growth by identifying what they did exceptionally well, turning that capability into a strategic asset, and allowing other organizations to multiply its reach through partnerships, licensing, OEM relationships, and distribution channels.
Join Kaustubh Kale, Founder & CEO of Aventusoft and a 2020 GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Honoree, for an interactive boardroom discussion on how CEOs can begin building their companies for this next dimension of growth.
Drawing from his experience, Kaustubh will introduce a practical framework for moving from core competency to partnerable asset to scalable growth. The discussion will explore how CEOs can uncover the valuable capabilities already embedded within their organizations; including technology, intellectual property, know-how, proprietary processes, data, customer insight, and specialized expertise; and deliberately strengthen, protect, and productize those capabilities to unlock the hidden growth potential. Rather than asking only, “How do we sell more of what we have?” the session challenges CEOs to consider a different question: “What are we building today that another company may eventually want to distribute, license, embed, or build into its own offering?”
Key Takeaways:
- Identify What Is Truly Core: Learn how to distinguish products and operational capabilities from the deeper competencies, know-how, technology, IP, data, and processes that create differentiated value.
- Recognize the Right Partnering Window: Understand why pursuing partnerships too early may lead nowhere, while waiting too long can allow technology, markets, or competitive advantages to become stale.
- Move From Direct Growth to Multiplied Growth: Examine how partnerships, licensing, OEM relationships, and channel strategies can allow a company to leverage another organization’s customers, distribution, infrastructure, capital, and market reach
