Our story

The Portfolio Collective was launched in July 2020 to help our friends (and their friends) have more rewarding careers and lives, and we have been growing rapidly ever since. 71% of successful professionals don’t see their career future working for a company, so our mission is to help professionals understand, launch, manage and grow successful portfolio careers.

We're growing fast...

We know we are helping our members’ because they keep recommending The Portfolio Collective to their friends. New member sign-ups in Q4 2023 were up 56% vs Q4 2022, mostly driven by word of mouth (with SEO in second place).  

Our net revenue is growing even faster. In Q2 2024 our net revenue of £126k will be up 500% year-on-year, and will make TPC profitable by mid-2024. This is driven by membership and course fees, along with the demand for mentors, fractional professionals and other services provided by our members to clients.

…and we help our clients do the same

A great example of our community’s ability to support entrepreneurial organisations is our work with CloudNC, an autonomous manufacturing company. Since 2021 we have helped shape their strategy and organisation. This includes placing 11 portfolio professionals and full-time leaders to support their scaling from Series A to Series B and beyond.

Meet some of our incredible community

With 11,000+ community members and growing, here is a quick peek into some of the wonderful professionals building our community (and your investment).

The most trusted source of independent professionals

Our client sweet spot is mid-sized companies, and there are over 600,000 of them in Europe and North America aloneWe want TPC to be the best source of fractional leaders, experts and teams to support those entrepreneurial ventures. This often starts by matching each client with a trusted advisor from our accredited mentor pool, which then leads to a diverse range of other work opportunities coming to other TPC members.

'Unicorn' potential

There will be 180m portfolio professionals globally by 2030, and TPC ‘owns’ the phrase portfolio career, so we are well placed to be the leading community to help those professionals succeed. 

With revenue from memberships, courses, advertising and client support, TPC has the potential to generate annual EBITDA of over £100m within 5-10 years, which would likely lead to a valuation of over £1B.
