The people that we love to serve.
General Areas of Focus & Expertise
While we have some areas where we've done more work, we don't hyper-focus on tightly specific niches, and that's purposeful. Our experience has shown us that we learn from each vertical we serve and can apply those learnings to other verticals, creating competitive advantages for our clients. We believe that niche-focused firms become truly exceptional at selling to their niche, and we never want to be trapped by legacy thinking and the predictably poor results that follow. Historically, due to our professional expertise and experience, our most common customers operate in some specific spaces where they need to "Do more with less", often common in non-profit organizations, early-stage startups, social-impact organizations, and investment (VV or PE) high-growth startups.
Social Impact Businesses
Social impact startups and businesses that are trying to solve real-world problems, to make the world a better place, are what the world needs more of. These businesses and startups often operate within challenging and established systems, and need support from people who can help find the leverage points and properly attack it with the right strategies and operational frameworks. We have the know-how and the experience to help.
Private Equity & Venture Backed Companies
The private equity and venture-backed world demands speed, precision, and results. Companies operating in this space are under constant pressure to do more with less, scaling efficiently without sacrificing quality or burning out their teams. Success requires a sharp focus on operational excellence, paired with the wisdom to maintain the human element that drives culture, innovation, and long-term value. In addition, given the urgent need for results and the pressure to maximize efficiency with limited resources, developing strong cultural foundations, leadership capabilities, and management skills becomes mission-critical for success.
Non-For-Profit Organizations
The nonprofit world runs on purpose, not profit, but the pressure to do more with less is just as real. Mission-driven organizations must deliver meaningful impact with limited resources, all while navigating complex stakeholder expectations and shifting social needs. Success demands a deep understanding of the donor experience, that helps inform superior creative strategy, operational excellence, smart systems, and a deep commitment to the human element that fuels community, trust, and lasting change. In addition, the urgent need to demonstrate impact and the imperative to stretch every dollar to serve more beneficiaries, building strong organizational culture, leadership capacity, and management expertise, to support a team who is driven and passionate about serving their community, without burnout, becomes mission-critical for achieving the organization's social mission.
Marketing Agency & PR Communcations Services
Whether you are a digital marketing agency, a PR agency, an agency that sets up Hubspot and CRM instances, a social media influencer agency, or you offer creative design services, you are all in the marketing and communications services space. How your business operates and manages its processes and systems will ultimately have a significant impact on your organization's ability to grow and scale. Let us help... we've started, grown, and had multiple acquisitions and exits in this space.
High Growth Startups
Magpie Solutions partners with venture-backed early-stage startups ready to grow fast and build right. We’ve scaled and supported multiple high-growth companies through critical early phases and successful exits, so we know what it takes to turn momentum into real, measurable progress. From tightening your go-to-market motion to building the systems that support scale, we help founders focus on what matters most. We also work seamlessly alongside VC firms as a trusted member of their preferred vendor networks, reducing risk for their investments by helping their portfolio companies execute with clarity, confidence, and speed.
Behavioral Health Practices
Whether you're a small group, or a large behavioral health practice, managing the demands of your practice is no small task. Each segment of this space faces unique challenges—and the right strategic and operational decisions can make all the difference. At Magpie, having extensive experience working in and around this space, we understand the challenges and nuances of the behavioral health landscape and offer the guidance and support to help your practice thrive.
Local Services Businesses
Since 1999, the leadership at Magpie has partnered with businesses that serve their communities face-to-face—whether customers walk through their doors (like therapists, dentists, optomitrists, golf courses and restaurants) or they walk into their customers’ homes and offices (like HVAC companies, plumbers, irrigation companies, and landscapers). The local services economy is the largest and most dynamic sector in the world, constantly shifting by market, season, and customer behavior. We bring decades of experience and strategic thinking to help service-based businesses succeed in this ever-changing landscape...and simply put, we like helping local businesses in our local community.
