Predikt growth playbook

Diagnosis

Predikt, a Leuven-based start-up with €2M pre-seed funding, has a live enterprise product, a named global customer in The Magnum Ice Cream Company, a Deloitte partnership and strong customer results. It is now building its first commercial team: a Marketing Manager, a Go-to-Market Engineer and a founding AE, with implementation and data hires behind them.

The website has not caught up. The "Case studies" menu item opens the careers page, three of four team pages go back to the homepage, the best results are behind a download, and every call to action books a call with the founder.

This playbook first fixes that: a proof page, team pages, an up-to-date demo route and a 48-hour margin brief. Then it builds the account map, market-triggered outreach, pilots, demos, partners and a monthly cost outlook.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the question buyers already ask after every price shock ("what does this do to our costs and margins?") into Predikt's main offer and outreach trigger, backed by a visible library of customer proof.

Biggest Risk

With only a few hundred possible accounts, long cycles and established commodity data providers (Vesper, ChAI, Expana) in the same meetings, weak proof or slow follow-up can cost a large share of the market.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    The first marketing hire is asked to turn customer results into "quantified case studies" that procurement and finance leaders trust. The proof already exists: a beverage leader that cut procurement costs 12.1%, a frozen food and a bakery story, and The Magnum Ice Cream Company as a named global customer. But the homepage menu sends "Case studies" (and "Product updates") to the careers page, so a CPO looking for proof finds job ads.

    Repoint the link today to the Food & Beverage case study block.

    Why it works

    Build one /customers page this week from what is already published: the Magnum announcement at the top, then the beverage, frozen food and bakery stories as short cards with the problem, the categories covered (packaging, dairy, flour, energy) and one number each. Point the menu item at it, link it from the Food & Beverage page and every demo follow-up email, and add a "proof" slide built from the same cards to the sales deck.

    Enterprise buyers check proof before they take a meeting. A few hundred target accounts means every visit counts, and this is the library the Marketing Manager is measured on.

    ChecklistCustomers page contents

    [ ] One demo link per card
    [ ] Menu "Case studies" points here

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customers want anonymity

      Keep stories anonymized by industry and size; ask Magnum for an approved quote.

    • Too few stories

      Publish four now and add one per quarter from new go-lives.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteHomepage menu (checked October 22, 2026): under Resources, "Case studies" and "Product updates" both link to /about-us/careers; under Teams, "Procurement", "Commercial" and "Commodity Trading & Risk Managment (CTRM)" link back to the homepage, and only Finance has its own page; the Platform and Use case items are anchors on the homepage. "How it works", "Learn more", "Try it out", "Go to blogpost" and "See Predikt in action" all open the demo request.Source
    • Your websiteCustomer proof is scattered: two anonymized stories in the Insights feed (a frozen food manufacturer's packaging procurement, January 20, 2026, and a bakery goods manufacturer's cost models, January 19, 2026), and on the Food & Beverage page a "global beverage leader" that "Reduced procurement costs by 12.1% by negotiating ahead of price hikes", with the details behind a download.Source
    • Press releaseSeptember 24, 2026: The Magnum Ice Cream Company "has selected the Predikt platform to support material cost visibility and procurement planning", with materials price forecasting, cost visibility and productivity tracking across its global procurement organisation.Source
    • HiringMarketing Manager (Leuven hybrid, posted September 30, 2026), the first marketing hire: "Our buyers are a few hundred large enterprises"; own positioning "across our website, decks, proposals and RFP answers"; "Turn customer results into proof: quantified case studies and references that procurement and finance leaders trust"; account-based campaigns, roundtables, webinars and events; "Amplify the founders' voice on LinkedIn"; LinkedIn ads support ABM, "not about lead volume". Success after a year: "A library of proof points and sales material the team actually uses."Source
  • 02

    The Teams menu lists Procurement, Finance, Commercial and CTRM, but only Finance has a page; the other three return the visitor to the homepage. Procurement is Predikt's main buyer, and the AE sells to procurement, finance and commercial leaders in one committee.

    Publish the Procurement page first and repoint its menu item.

    Why it works

    Write a page per team with that team's question (procurement: "is this price fair and when do I buy?"; commercial: "when must I reprice?"; CTRM: "what is my exposure and hedge?"), the use cases from the homepage that answer it, one proof point and a demo link tagged by team.

    Each person on a buying committee needs to see their own job on the site, and team-tagged demo requests tell the AE who is pushing the deal.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Thin pages

      Add one proof point and a diagram per page.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteHomepage menu (checked October 22, 2026): under Resources, "Case studies" and "Product updates" both link to /about-us/careers; under Teams, "Procurement", "Commercial" and "Commodity Trading & Risk Managment (CTRM)" link back to the homepage, and only Finance has its own page; the Platform and Use case items are anchors on the homepage. "How it works", "Learn more", "Try it out", "Go to blogpost" and "See Predikt in action" all open the demo request.Source
    • HiringEnterprise Account Executive - Founding AE (posted September 30, 2026): the founders "lead our enterprise sales today"; contracts are "multi-year, with six-figure annual values or more and a global scope"; buyers are large CPG and Food & Beverage companies; the AE navigates "RFPs, security and IT reviews, legal and vendor onboarding" and grows customers "into new business units, categories and modules".Source
    • Your websiteHomepage claims: "Less time spent on analysis 50%", "Faster response to market shocks 5x", "Direct spend savings unlocked 3%"; spend analytics tools leave "3-7% savings left on the table"; spreadsheets cost "15–20 hours/month lost per category"; "Trusted by leading CPG companies"; integrates with "ERP, PLM, and BI tools".Source
  • 03

    Every call to action on predikt.ai (seven of them, including "Go to blogpost") opens a HubSpot page that still says "lead your financial strategy", shows a 2025 copyright and books a call with the founder. With a founding AE joining and founders meant to spend less time prospecting, the page should qualify and route.

    Fix the guide link and the page banner today.

    Why it works

    Match the demo page to the procurement message, give each CTA its own destination (the guide to the guide, "How it works" to the platform section), add three qualifying fields (company, role in procurement/finance/commercial, main categories) and route qualified requests from priority accounts to the AE and the rest to a short product tour.

    Clear routing protects founders' time and gets priority accounts a fast, prepared response.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • More fields lower conversion

      Keep it to three and prefill from HubSpot where known.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteEvery "Request a demo" goes to a separate HubSpot page (marketing.predikt.ai/request-a-demo) that offers to "Book a personalized demo with the founder" and "Request detailed pricing", with a call booked with the CEO; its banner says "lead your financial strategy" and its footer reads "Copyright 2025", while predikt.ai now speaks to procurement and shows 2026.Source

  • 04

    In 12 of 17 meetings after the last shock, procurement and finance leaders asked, unprompted, "Can you estimate what this does to our costs and margins?" That is the exact question Predikt answers, yet the site's only offer is a generic demo.

    Offer the brief to five accounts on today's biggest cost move.

    Why it works

    When a shock hits (energy, tariffs, cocoa, dairy, packaging), offer target accounts a free two-page impact brief for their top categories, built on Predikt with public indices, delivered in 48 hours. Promote it on the site, in founder posts and in GTM outreach; follow with a pilot offer.

    It answers the buyer's question at the moment they ask it, and shows the product working on their own cost structure.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Too much work per brief

      Limit to three categories and priority accounts.

    Evidence

    • Your blogCEO post: after a geopolitical shock, "I did 17 meetings with procurement leaders, CPOs, and finance teams. In 12 of those meetings, unprompted, the same question came up: 'Can you estimate what this does to our costs and margins?'"

    For each customer, map categories and business units not yet covered, set a 6-month value review with the Implementation Consultant, and propose the next module (scenario planning, hedging, margin intelligence) with measured results from the first.

    Measured value in one category is the strongest case for the next.

    Build a reusable pack: security answers from the trust center, integration notes (ERP, PLM, BI), SSO, data handling, standard RFP answers and contract templates. Link it from the demo follow-up.

    Enterprise deals stall in reviews; ready answers save weeks.

    Predikt has written that it and Anaplan are "often better together", and the AE post compares the sale to an Anaplan deal. Planning platform customers are exactly the finance teams that need external cost drivers.

    Original, regular data earns press, links and repeat visits from the exact buyers Predikt needs.

    Pitch the light package to one finance lead.

    Why it works

    Package a lighter finance entry: margin impact on the P&L from external drivers, set up in weeks from standard indices and the customer's bill of materials, sold to the CFO office, with procurement modules as the expansion.

    It meets a large planned demand where the worries are speed and complexity, and opens a second door into each account.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value one view linking market prices to their own costs and margins. The most cited problem: market shocks with no fast way to size the margin impact.

  • Forward-looking forecasts for supplier negotiations
  • Fragmented data across indices, cost formulas and margin reports
  • In their words: “volatility”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Vesper, ChAI, Expana (Mintec) and Spreadsheets.

  • Gap to exploit: Fast margin impact answers after shocks
  • Vesper: Market data, less link to own cost structures
  • ChAI: Commodity-level, not product margin

Hiring signals

Predikt is building its first commercial team around a short list of enterprise accounts.

  • Marketing Manager: First marketing hire: proof, positioning, ABM. Ideas 1, 2, 6, 13, 14, 15.
  • Go-to-Market Engineer: Account data, buying committees, signal-based outreach. Ideas 3, 5, 7, 8.
  • Enterprise Account Executive - Founding AE: Multi-year six-figure deals, reviews, expansion. Ideas 10, 16.
