Our PE Program:
Grow profit and valuation in 6 months — without giving up equity.

We deploy our private equity Clarity Playbook™ inside $2-15m companies so they can stop operating like a chaotic small business and start performing like a real valuable asset.

The PE playbook—run with your team in a 6-month partner-led transformation

If private equity bought your company, this is the operating system they would install next. We just do it with you—while you stay in control.

Fully facilitated process — we lead every session so you don’t waste time figuring it out

Operator-led guidance — work with someone who’s built real companies, not a theorist

Team-based build — your leadership team is involved so everyone moves in sync and buys-in from day one

Real work sessions — this isn’t coaching—we build assets, frameworks, and plans with you

High-impact decisions — hard conversations get solved in the room, not avoided

Founder remains in control — we drive the process, you make the decisions

A proven three-stage system to optimize the whole business

We run weekly leadership sessions and work through the playbook module by module until the whole business is tightened up.

TOGETHER as a team, we:

Weeks 1-4

Build a clear financial picture

We map revenue, costs, and margins together so the right decisions become obvious.

Weeks 5–12

Tighten the business model

Side by side, we engineer a stronger business—better offers, smarter pricing, clearer positioning, and develop a real growth path.

Weeks 13–24

Build a company that runs without chaos

We install execution discipline—clear roles, scorecards, priorities, and a planning rhythm that drives results.

The real outcomes of going through this program

This is what happens when you operate like a real professionally managed company—not a hustle.

More profit from the same effort

Double down on what drives margin—and stop bleeding cash on what doesn’t.

Grow without raising money

Build cash flow strength so you never beg for capital again.

Increase valuation the right way

Healthy profit, strong systems, and clean numbers build value fast.

Replace chaos with clarity

Your business starts acting like a serious company.

Proof from the trenches

Hear it from founders we’ve worked with.

Yarin Gaon’s Clarity Challenge helped Whitestone redefine who we are by aligning our purpose, values, strengths, and ideal customers into a clear, actionable framework. It brought clarity and alignment to our team on key fundamentals like why we exist, what we do best, and who our perfect customer is. Now, we’re entering 2025 with a stronger sense of purpose and a shared vision. For any founder looking to refine their strategy and align their team, I highly recommend Yarin and Fractional Partners.

Sometimes we just need someone to kick us in the butt. That was the energy I felt. It's nice when someone can guide you and they feel so clear like they know what they're doing. That could be really nice especially on days where I'm not as confident. I really appreciate the no-bullshit approach.

Working with Yarin has been nothing short of transformational. I can't even begin to list the number of things we have stopped doing after this process and how it has revolutionized our processes, strategy, and operations. Yarin went above and beyond for us, over-delivered, and gave extra time, energy, and space to ensure we reached our goals. He possesses a unique combination of holding nothing back, saying what needs to be said, and backing it up with solutions and processes that effectively address what doesn't work. Thanks to his guidance, we have significantly improved our productivity, communication, and focus. Remarkably, during what is usually the slowest quarter of the year for us, we doubled our revenue and secured donations to further our mission. We now have a well-defined strategy and process to continue thriving long after our work with him. I look forward to watching our progress as we grow. Yarin truly feels like a fractional partner, seamlessly integrated into our team and working with us to ensure we reach our desired destination. If you seek a no-nonsense, get-it-done partner who delivers results and provides a replicable process, look no further—Yarin is your man.

Yarin helped me narrow my focus to problem-solving and helped me find the most profitable parts of my business so I could cultivate them first. He encouraged me to focus more on the online portion of my business which ended up saving me in the long run (pandemic hit shortly after!) my business is still thriving today because of this advice.

Having Yarin as a mentor helped me look at my business from a different perspective. He listened to my questions, and posed new questions that helped me think in a different way to overcome the challenges I was facing in my business. Additionally, his expertise in understanding the financials behind a business was extremely helpful for me in learning about the viability of my business and what areas I needed to focus on in order to ensure the business made sense financially. Yarin is extremely knowledgeable and we always leave with clear action steps.

You made me think about and consider things that would never come to mind on my own. I was able to clear my head and narrow my focus down to specific things that we further my business instead of having my mind all over the place.

As a founder Yarin is the person you want to talk.His unique experience and direct approach will help you simplify your pitch until it becomes crystal clear and gleam insights you may not think through. When Suneel Gupta talks about the importance of "exhibition matches"..practicing in a low stakes environment to help you prepare for high stakes moments, Yarin gives you those matches.

Yarin is a strong thought partner! I have gotten to know Yarin through a UChicago mentoring program for startup founders. He has given me some important advice/coaching based on the unique way he thinks and his impressive background. Specifically, he helps me push away all the noise that can surround a business and focus on the areas that matter the most. Then, he assists in creating simple yet powerful plans to tackle those areas. He is a strong partner for our business!

He's young - possibly younger than me - which was briefly questionable. But he knows his stuff, he asks good questions, and he is approachable with my own questions.

Working with Yarin was an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience. Watching Yarin conduct and orchestrate a meeting was itself a masterclass worth thousands of dollars because it elevated my skills and leadership qualities to a whole new level and inspired me to level up my skills in leading productive meetings with my team.

Yarin is an entrepreneur through and through and he's laser focused on helping other founders grow their business. He is a tremendous resource for people who want to get to that next-level of business growth, and personally, I've loved getting to know him over the last year. He's also a connector of high-caliber individuals and puts together excellent events for entrepreneurs in the Austin area who aren't in the tech sector. He's serving a segment of the market that is often ignored, and he does it with excellence.

Great conversation! Helped me put all my thoughts into a concise to-do list in order of importance which was super helpful because I couldn’t do that myself previously and was struggling to see things big picture altogether.
