Most firms leak capital through weak positioning and broken systems. Darren&Co diagnoses the gaps and designs the strategy and infrastructure to close them.
Increasing Capital Flow and Enterprise Value
/
Selective engagements · Confidential by default
Capital leaks silently in three core places:

• System leaks: Prospects, investors, or users drop out unseen through fragmented or weak infrastructure.

• Trust & positioning leaks: Messaging and narrative fail to build the credibility required for commitment.

• Valuation leaks: Businesses approach fundraising or exit without the story, structure, or evidence to support higher multiples.

The outcome of these leaks: millions never realised today, and multiples compressed tomorrow.

How We Work
Direct Strategic Mandate
We take on strategic mandates where capital flow and enterprise value are at stake, focusing on exit and fundraising positioning, capital-markets narrative, GTM and offer design, brand positioning, conversion and reactivation strategy.

All engagements are selective and confidential.
Confidentiality prevents full disclosure. Selected outcomes include:

• International IP Firm: Diagnostic work identified major conversion leaks caused by fragmented positioning, market capture, and conversion systems. Implementing the roadmap increased leads by 60% and sales conversions by 240% from the same ad spend by repositioning the offer, redesigning the proposition, and building a unified nurture and reactivation system.


• UK Comparison Platform: The platform operated across UK energy, home improvement, and finance, driving traffic primarily from paid media and converting at roughly the industry standard. Our diagnostic identified significant lost opportunity and conversion leakage across visibility, capture, and follow-up. The roadmap focused on strengthening market presence, improving demand capture, and introducing a behavioural nurturing system. Within 12 months, traffic increased by over 20%, cost per lead reduced by 35%, and conversion rates more than doubled, reaching roughly 2x the prevailing industry benchmark.


• Tech Platform Exit: Positioned and developed the narrative and communications strategy for a successful exit, acquired by a leading international group.
Impact Snapshots
Darren&Co is a strategic advisory that works with boards and CEOs to capture hidden value by exposing leaks in systems, communications, and positioning. Our focus is increasing capital flow today and strengthening enterprise value so firms become more attractive to investors, acquirers, and markets.

The firm is led by Darren Bunce, a value creation & growth strategist with a track record that includes founding and exiting a UK energy-comparison platform acquired by Leads.io, a €65m+ international group recognised as a leader in performance marketing and comparison platforms. Darren’s experience spans strategy, positioning, behavioural conversion and commercial architecture across businesses where trust, risk, and conversion discipline directly determine performance. That perspective now underpins the Darren&Co methodology.

Most recently, Darren has built Daaco CNS™, a compliance-aligned investor-conversion infrastructure for regulated firms operating in the alternative investment and private capital markets.
