About JED Growth Partners

Built for founder-led
SaaS companies. Not advisory.

This is a structured, execution-focused partnership. Most founder-led SaaS companies don't have a sales problem. They have a system problem.

Growth stalls when what worked early stops working. Pipeline becomes inconsistent. Hiring doesn't fix it. The founder becomes the system.

JED Growth Partners works with companies between $1M and $5M ARR to rebuild the revenue architecture required for scalable growth aligning product, pricing, go-to-market, and execution into a system that produces predictable results.

Jerry Daddesi
Jerry Daddesi
Founder & CEO

Jerry works directly with founder-led SaaS companies who have built something real but feel growth starting to stall. His background spans early stage startups, enterprise SaaS, and complex revenue environments where he has personally closed and led over $100M in software deals. That experience brings pattern recognition,he has seen where growth breaks and why what worked early stops working. Instead of adding more activity, Jerry focuses on rebuilding how revenue is actually produced: aligning product, pricing, go-to-market, and execution into a system that can scale. For founders, this means moving from pushing deals forward themselves to having a structure that carries growth with them.

David Shieldhouse
Founder & COO

David brings something most companies underestimate until they need it access. Over three decades, he has built one of the deepest networks in enterprise software, interviewing thousands of sales leaders and helping companies generate hundreds of millions in revenue through talent, partnerships, and introductions. His experience sits at the intersection of recruiting, deal-making, and market connectivity. For founder-led SaaS companies, this changes the pace of growth: instead of building pipeline, partnerships, and leadership from scratch, David opens the right doors faster and connects companies to the people and opportunities that actually move the business forward.

Iulia Tesfai
Director, Revenue Operations

Iulia brings the operational clarity that most founder-led companies are missing when growth becomes inconsistent. With over 15 years in revenue operations across SaaS and complex environments, she has worked inside organizations where pipeline, forecasting, and execution begin to drift out of sync. Her experience leading RevOps through scaling phases, post-acquisition integration, and system rebuilds allows her to step in and create alignment across sales, marketing, and customer success. For founders, this means visibility, consistency, and a system that supports growth rather than creating more noise.

Structured diagnostic
Clarity on where revenue is constrained before any recommendations are made.
Hands-on execution
Not traditional consulting. The work gets done alongside the team, not handed off.
System design
The goal is a revenue engine that scales without the founder carrying it.

Founder-led SaaS companies ready to stop carrying it alone.

We work with companies that have a strong product and real traction but where growth has become inconsistent, unpredictable, or founder dependent.

  • Typically between $1M and $5M ARR
  • Strong product, but inconsistent growth
  • Founder still carrying the sales motion
  • Ready to build a repeatable revenue engine
