Growth engineering studio
Growth engineering for founder-led companies.
We design and build the systems that keep growth running when the founder can't: finding the right companies, drafting in your voice, following up, publishing, and learning from what worked. Built in your tools, approved by your team, owned by you.
The short version
Campaigns end. A system compounds.
Small teams rarely have a growth problem. They have a capacity problem. The founder knows who to talk to and what to say, but there is no one to do the research, the drafting and the follow-up every single day.
Growth engineering is building that capacity as a system. The daily work a full team would do is prepared before you start: companies researched, routes found, drafts written in your voice, briefs ready. A person approves. Each week's results feed the next, so it gets better at your business the longer it runs.
The difference from a tool is judgment. Someone has to decide what should run without a person, and what never should. That decision, written down and built in, is most of the work. It is what we do.
The options
Growth engineering compared with the usual ways to get growth done.
| Option | What you get | What it costs you | What is left when it ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hire a growth marketer | One person running campaigns | EUR 70K a year and up, and months to ramp | Whatever they wrote down before leaving |
| Growth agency on retainer | Campaigns on their calendar | A monthly fee for as long as you stay | Very little; the work stops when the invoice does |
| Fractional growth engineer | A senior person a few days a week | A day rate, open ended | What they built, if it was built in your accounts |
| Buy the tools | Six logins, each good at its piece | Subscriptions, plus your evenings | Six queues nobody joins up |
| A growth engineering studio | A working system in your tools, then handover | A fixed build fee, then a capped retainer only if you want one | The system, the data and the playbook, all yours |
Six systems · one shared memory
What we build.
Most companies start with one, usually acquisition, and add the next once the first is running. Every system reads the same record, so each one makes the others better.
Acquisition
Finds the right companies and the warmest way in.

Understand. Build. Hand over.
A written diagnosis, a first system built in four to six weeks, and a handover your team can run. The full approach
Proof
In our own run, one in ten companies contacted booked a call in the first week. The same acquisition system judged 21,927 companies for one client's market before a single message went out, and found 112 contactable buyers across 14 countries for another. Read the case study.
