Frequently Asked Questions

Alright, but what exactly do you do?

As a start-up growth agency we help you 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 testing messages or scaling. I just need someone to do a job. 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.


Do we have to work in 6 weeks sprints or can we just agree a monthly retainer?

We find 6 weeks sprints allow us to plan far enough in advance to make consistent progress, while not planning so far ahead that we miss new opportunities for growth. We invoice monthly in arrears.
