I live and breathe growth marketing. Building growth frameworks, models and loops, helped me to acquire 98k+ users and turn them into raving fans.

I wholeheartedly believe that success is all about what we inspire others to do. That's why I love sharing everything about my processes, wins, and fails so you can avoid some of the ways that simply don't work.

Helping startups elevate their users

Growth unlocks once you put your user on a path of becoming a superhero. Showing value early on, helping them easily navigate through their day-to-day tasks, and seeing how our product helps them become a better version of themselves.

So far, I helped these startups persuade users to "buy" a better version of themselves, with strategies crafted around:

Product Led Growth - Acquisition, Activation, and Retention

Speedrunning Growth

Hacks don't feel like cheat codes. Processes do.

After working with startups that raised over $18M to date, I had an opportunity to build things from scratch, fail miserably, acquire 5000 users on a $260 budget, and put products in front of millions.

After 6 years, 98k+ users, and countless shoe-string budgets, I created a system that helped me help startups do a speed run.
01

Clarity

Laying out the growth foundations, setting up the growth stack, and aligning customer-facing teams towards one true metric.
02

Structure

Building growth processes from the ground up, driving experimentation culture, allowing you to plug and play battle-tested growth strategies.
03

Velocity

Building growth loops across acquisition, monetization and retention, ensuring fast-paced experiments that allow us to iterate within days.

Lazar is the salesperson's dream to have in a marketing team - he is a great marketer but is focused on overall revenue generation. He helped me come up with creative ways of outreach and prospecting and is incredibly resourceful at finding ways to blend technology to create efficient systems.
