Frequently Asked Questions

PGA is a business acceleration ecosystem that provides specialized services to Global Capability Centers (GCCs), corporates, and AI/hardware startups. We focus exclusively on business enablement—strategy, go-to-market, talent, operations, fundraising—without competing with your core competencies in product development or manufacturing.

Unlike generalist consultants, we specialize in three specific client segments with deep domain expertise. Unlike typical accelerators, we offer flexible engagement models beyond equity-based programs. We explicitly avoid competing with client core competencies, ensuring we enhance rather than threaten your capabilities.

PGA and Posspole Ventures are complementary entities. PGA serves pre-seed to early-seed stage companies with business acceleration services, while Posspole Ventures focuses on Series A+ hardware/deep-tech investments requiring capital and manufacturing expertise. We create a graduation path—companies can move from PGA's business acceleration to Posspole Ventures' investment and manufacturing support when ready.

While headquartered in India with deep India market expertise, PGA serves clients globally. We're particularly strong in helping companies expand into or scale within India, but we support international expansion and global market strategies as well.

Our services span five key areas: (1) Strategic planning and business acceleration, (2) Go-to-market and revenue generation, (3) Fundraising and investor readiness, (4) Talent acquisition and organizational development, and (5) Technical advisory and operations. Specific services are tailored by client segment—GCCs, corporates, or startups.

No. PGA explicitly focuses on business acceleration and strategic advisory—not product development, engineering, or manufacturing. This clear boundary ensures we never compete with your core capabilities. For product development and manufacturing needs, we can connect you with Posspole's ecosystem or other partners.

Pricing varies significantly based on engagement model and scope. Project-based engagements range from $10K-$150K depending on complexity. Retainer services range from $5K-$20K/month. We also offer success-fee, revenue-share, and equity participation models for startups with limited capital. Schedule a consultation to discuss pricing for your specific needs.

We offer seven flexible models: (1) Project-based for specific challenges, (2) Retainer for ongoing advisory, (3) Structured advisory programs, (4) Intensive workshops, (5) Expert sprints, (6) Success-fee tied to outcomes, and (7) Equity participation for exceptional startups. Many clients combine multiple models.

Engagement length varies: Expert sprints are 1-2 weeks, intensive workshops are 3-5 days, project-based engagements are 4-16 weeks, structured programs are 6-12 weeks, and retainers are typically 3-12 months. We tailor duration to your needs.

Absolutely. Many clients start with a focused project or workshop to test the fit, then expand to retainer or broader scope. We're happy to start small and scale based on demonstrated value.

Both. We offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid delivery methods based on your preference and needs. Our most common approach is hybrid—starting with an in-person kickoff followed by regular virtual sessions with optional quarterly in-person strategy sessions.

Schedule a free initial consultation through our website. We'll discuss your challenges, goals, and context to determine if there's a good fit and recommend the optimal service package and engagement model.

Come prepared to discuss: (1) Your current challenges and goals, (2) Your company stage and context, (3) What success looks like for you, (4) Timeline expectations, and (5) Budget considerations. The more context you provide, the better we can assess fit and recommend solutions.

For retainers and projects, we can typically start within 2-4 weeks after engagement terms are finalized. Expert sprints can often start within 1 week for urgent needs. Cohort-based programs have set start dates (typically quarterly).

Yes, absolutely. Confidentiality is paramount. We sign mutual NDAs before any substantive business discussions and maintain strict confidentiality throughout engagements.
