OUR MISSION
OUR STORY
We developed the Growth 2.0 concept -- a collection of techniques like 'Telescoping' that help a small team within a much larger organization to isolate a niche and build a game-changing funnel. This is something we'd hoped to find as entrepreneurs ourselves.
Building a Go-to-Market that also has good product positioning in a remote market is a challenge. Telescoping is a best practice used in the market for US and Europe growth projects. Insights in a given market requires 5 to 10 key discussions to write effective video sales scripts. One to two campaigns is enough to improve funnel scaffolding. Codified growth playbooks help distributed teams bring strategic revenue and market execution forward.
Today, the world is less open than it was five years ago. Yet tech companies future exit depends on having a capital efficient path to growth in remote markets. In a fragmented landscape, markets becomes more localized and competitive. An entrepreneur needs read a market not make assumptions, and get the organization to adapt to get to the right unit economics.
Big, plodding expansion plans rarely work out for founders except those with untethered funding rounds. Short, iterative tactics do.We bring proven tactics that are based on theories of mobility and capital efficiency. In a world where the tech industry valuations are coming down, these capital efficient approaches are the difference between bloated valuations and lean, mean, fighting machines.
One example of our tactics is called re-location. Re-location means bringing the customers to you. We've held dozens of invitation-only micro-gatherings to help tech firms meet senior Execs in their wheelhouse. 250+ elite B2B SaaS, Enterprise AI and Deep Tech entrepreneurs and 500 senior transformation Execs from industry have met to discuss international GTMs and how to Grow with AI, such as:
Stephen Brobst (San Francisco) - CTO of Teradata, discussing "Augmented versus Artificial Intelligence"
James Isilay (London) - CEO of Cognism on "GDPR compliant Lead Generation" and "Cognism’s grow-thru-acquisition experience"
Pawel Grzybowski (Warsaw) - Board & CCO of Algolytics for "Customer Analytics and Location Intelligence"
Marc Teerlink (Amsterdam) - Global VP Enterprise Intelligence at SAP for "Using AI Microservices"
Domonkos Tikk (Budapest) - CEO Gravity R&D for "Deep Learning Adoption in Traditional Industry"

Global Venture Advisors
I spent almost nine years in California building a SaaS data company and the last 10 working with SaaS, AI and Deep Tech tech leaders on growth. I've had near death experiences with my own company, but also know what it's like to land big clients, get a funnel working in a remote market and the ripple effect of success on the business.
I can still remember when Apple said No over the phone while I was outside on my lunch break, and not giving up. To my surprise, the next week, they sent guys to our office. We spent the next few months in Cupertino, mapping out their Made for iPod programme. When you keep a bit of pressure on your important market niches unexpected things can click.
In 2022, Telescoping is an approach a tech firm with a great product should consider. Check out the videos that explain in detail how it works. And how it can bolt on to an existing venture fund so they can attract and succeed with the best companies possible.
Sharing the knowledge on ways that a tech firm can grow is our passion, especially when it involved veterans and young talent who can make the difference. Going for the jugular in your market. Listening carefully while you do so you can adapt and codify the right things. Then have the machinery in place to hire, train and upscale growth teams when the unit economics make sense.
Whlie my AI & business experience was built in the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Asia and Ukraine, eventually, my family and I made the personal decision to move to The Netherlands. 10 years since I moved here, I'm still obsessed with the idea of how the right mix of tactics, tools and people lead to compounded growth.
A founder growing with international wins is riding one of the best waves out there. Now we have an team and network of 'Bad A***s' who can help you on your journey.
Let's set up a time to talk about your growth and sales team goals, and we'll show you how to do it. Then you can do it for yourself; or decide to work together with us.
