Our story
After leading growth for a portfolio of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, our founding team kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant AI products, but late, inconsistent investment in go-to-market. Founders were doing everything—sales, events, fundraising — while the 6–18 month B2B cycles dragged on.
We started upGRO to give these teams an experienced growth engine from day one: strategy, systems, and execution that compound over time instead of a revolving door of siloed hires
Growth-as-a-Service, not just advice
We combine GTM strategy with hands-on work in influencer programs, rankings, events, inside sales, and lead generation.
Skin in the game
Low base retainers, equity or pay-for-performance structures that align incentives with ARR and funded outcomes.

We design growth assuming long sales cycles, multiple buyers, and proof-heavy decisions.
Your reality
Enterprise AI deals take 6–18 months, require education, internal champions, and stakeholder alignment—not quick conversions.
Why others fail
Technical founding teams add growth late, rotate hires frequently, and end up with stalled pipelines and fragmented GTM efforts.
Stage-based playbooks
We don’t run random tactics. We execute what your stage actually needs.
FIRST 10
Presence
Positioning, vertical focus, early adopters, and first proof-points.
FIRST 100
Credibility
Specialization, advocates, analyst validation, influencers, and repeatable campaigns.
FIRST 1000
Scale
Pipeline engines, inside sales, partner channels, and growth cadence.
Strategy plus execution
Senior thinking + people who actually ship.
Not slideware
We run campaigns, manage influencers and analysts, build outbound, drive events, and operate GTM systems end-to-end.
Easy to plug in
Lean technical teams get a full GTM capability without hiring and managing roles they’re not ready for.
Skin in the game
We prefer long-term partnerships with lean retainers, performance-based fees, and equity-aligned options—so our upside comes from your ARR, POCs converted, and funding success.
Outcomes that matter
What founders and investors actually care about.
- Faster proof-of-value and POCs with the right enterprise logos
- Stronger analyst, ranking, and influencer validation to de-risk buying
- Better funding odds with a credible, systematized GTM engine
