THE REASON
Improving visibility to drive growth
Boards see one business in detail. Advisors bring their opinions with agendas. Peers bring generalised perspectives. None provide unbiased comparisons grounded in comparable data.
Ascent gives its members that clarity. Members confidentially share a defined set of performance metrics each quarter. That data is anonymised and benchmarked to show how each business performs against peers, averages, and best in class operators.
Knowing what is working, what is not and where attention will have the greatest impact.
Access to private equity level business intelligence
80+ investments have allowed Tenzing to develop exceptional tools to identify consistent pattern recognition across revenue growth, sales efficiency, customer characteristics, positioning, pricing, and operations.
These insights and expertise are being made available to every member of the Ascent platform without the need to give up any equity or control.

WHO'S BEHIND ASCENT
Bringing together two partners to deliver unique value to its members
Tenzing
Tenzing brings the skills, discipline, and capability expected of a leading European investment firm. This includes deep experience in benchmarking performance, identifying value creation levers, applying operational rigor, driving sustained growth and maximising the outcome of any value event. Ascent leverages all of these capabilities to deliver as much value as possible to each of its members in their pursuit of growth.
Riordan Maynard
Riordan Maynard built a global B2B technology business from minimal capital to approximately $200m enterprise value. He also spent nearly six years in an American prison for tax offences—an experience that profoundly shaped his understanding of resilience, accountability, and leadership under pressure. Together, these give him a distinctive perspective on both business growth and the personal challenges faced by CEOs.
