Frequently Asked Questions

Alright, but what exactly do you do?

As a start-up growth agency we help you discover then test your message with different customer segments, acquire those customers, then scale up. We provide all the tools and resources necessary so you can focus on what you do best.


I don't need help discovering/testing messages or scaling. I just need someone to deliver work? Can we still work together?

We hope so! If you've got all your ducks in a row already, and just need a team to execute a plan, we will happily comply.


Are your rates competitive?

Our rates are fair. Good work comes at a price and while we're not going to gouge you for profit, we do believe in fairly compensating all our stakeholders. We price our projects accordingly - see the example packages above.


Do the packages lead from one to the next?

Yes, depending on what stage you're at, we would deliver all packages in sequence: Discover > Launch > Fund. In this case, we may be able to provide a discount. Schedule a consultation for more info.
