Your portfolio companies are our ICP
One technology partner across the portfolio, from day-to-day IT to new location buildouts and AI & automation strategy and deployments.
We built Lerner for VC, PE, & emerging growth companies, and our logos are a testament to that. We're proud to be the one partner that they don't outgrow because we stand by their side as an advisor and partner as they invest, scale, pivot, IPO, and sometimes even fail.
Where portfolio companies bring us in
Frankenstein IT holds them back
Tools stitched together by whoever had time, with shared credentials, no MFA, and no offboarding process. We take over the function and clean it up before headcount doubles.
Physical expansion as the strategy
When growth runs through new stores, offices, or facilities, the team that runs IT also builds and manages them. One contract instead of a second vendor, and nothing falls between them.
AI as the board’s next question
Most have teams already using AI tools and no plan behind it. We set the roadmap, build the automation, and put governance around both, inside the environment we already manage.
What happens when you introduce us
Launch
Ninety days from undocumented to fully managed, on a fixed scope. It's the right first move for most portfolio companies and it's how we say yes or no honestly about fit.
Workforce+
What Launch graduates into. The ongoing function, so nobody internal is carrying IT alongside the job they were hired for.
Design Your Locations
For the ones opening physical space. The technology inside a location gets designed before construction starts, so the build runs to a drawing set instead of decisions made on site.
AI Strategy Sprint
For the ones under board pressure to have an AI position. Three weeks to a ranked roadmap and a real number, rather than a pilot nobody can evaluate.
Thirteen years, from one studio to 100+ locations
Peloton became a Lerner client in 2013, starting with flagship studio support. As the company scaled we grew into national location buildouts, procurement, logistics, and ongoing managed services across more than 25 states. The engagement has outlasted several phases of the business.
