For founders and early-stage teams

A Chief Growth Officer for your business.

A growth leader owns the outcome. A team of AI operators does the work. Together they install a proven system and run it, so you scale past the ceiling, without new hires.

See yours in four minutes

Answer eight questions, then give us seven numbers from your own funnel. You get back a growth architecture report: where your revenue is leaking, in euros, what your target actually requires at your current conversion, and the exact agent fleet that would run it instead of you.

The ceiling

You have outgrown what a lean team can carry.

You have hit the limit of a lean team. That limit has a fix, and it is not more hours.

What you get

A Chief Growth Officer, and the team to deliver it.

Not tools. Not an agency retainer. A growth leader who owns the outcome, backed by a team of AI operators that does the work.

The growth leader you need, without the full-time hire.

Who runs it

A growth operator, not a dashboard.

Founder, Venture Architect Studio · fractional Chief Growth Officer

I build and run growth engines for a living, across a portfolio of companies I operate, co-found and advise: a multi-brand commodities business, a clean-air hardware venture I co-founded, a photography-education company, a Swiss aesthetic studio, a health-tech studio. The same system I use to scale them is what your business gets.

You are not buying software. You are hiring an operator who owns your growth number, backed by a team that never sleeps.

How it runs

Accountable human. Tireless execution.

The most common question about an AI-run growth team is simple: who is actually responsible? Here is the honest answer.

The growth leader (human)

Owns the outcome.

  • Owns your growth number, and answers for it.
  • Sets the strategy and makes the calls.
  • The person you talk to, every week.
The operator team (AI)

Does the work.

  • Runs content, funnels, outreach and reporting.
  • Executes around the clock, at scale.
  • No new hires, no ramp-up, no idle payroll.

A human is accountable. AI is the engine room, never the other way around.

The method

The Growth Stack.

Your growth engine is assembled from proven components, never from scratch. Every layer, the offer, the funnel, the outreach, the reporting, has already worked inside the companies we run and grow. We assemble yours from those proven parts. We never experiment on your business.

01FoundationPositioning, voice, and the numbers that show what is actually working.
02OfferAn offer and price built to convert, not to guess.
03AcquisitionThe channels that bring the right people in, on repeat.
04ConversionFunnels, pages and outreach that turn attention into revenue.
05RetentionThe follow-up and referrals that make every client worth more.
06EngineAll of it running as one system, measured and tuned every week.
SummitAutonomous LayerThe engine runs on AI operators and a proven playbook. It works without landing on your desk.

Proven parts, assembled for you.

Each component earns its place inside our own portfolio first. What reaches you is the finished version, never the trial run. How the components combine, though, is built around your market, your offer and your constraints, so nothing about the assembly is copy-paste. And your data stays yours: we prove the system on our numbers, not on yours.

Assembled, not improvised

Your engine goes up in weeks, because the parts already exist and fit together.

Proven on our businesses, not yours

Every component is pressure-tested inside the ventures we operate. You get the finished version, never the experiment.

Built around you, not templated

The parts are proven; the assembly is bespoke to your market, offer and constraints.

Past the ceiling

Revenue climbing, on an engine that runs without you.

Predictable pipeline. The right clients. The work that used to eat your week, now running quietly in the background.

The system owns the growth. You own the vision.

Proof

Engines already built and running.

Flagship Commodities · multi-brand portfolio · lean team of ~3
Baseline
Growth flat, everything riding on the founder across a sprawling multi-brand operation
Built
One growth system across 5 brands and 7 work streams: an evergreen funnel, a subscription engine, lead capture and a steady content pipeline
Result
The full engine live in ~7 weeks, running on one growth leader and an AI team, zero freelancers hired
Photography education · growth partner · since May 2026
Rebuilt the cold-traffic funnel and fixed tracking that was capturing under 5% of sign-ups. Cut cost per lead by ~50% while holding the front-end funnel profitable at ~3× return on ad spend.
Clean-air hardware · co-founded venture · pre-launch
Brand, offer and go-to-market engine built from zero. Owned the business-model case behind a submitted ~$500K grant, now in review.
Aesthetic studio · Switzerland
Random boosted posts replaced with a fully tracked acquisition funnel: pixel, UTM attribution, a dedicated landing page and retargeting, so every franc of ad spend is now measured.
How working together works

Three steps, then it runs.

The engagement has a name: The 90-Day Growth Engine. From founder-bottleneck to a self-running growth system you own.

01 · Teardown

A 30-minute call.

We map where your growth is capped and which part of the system fixes it. Free, no pitch, you leave with a plan either way.

02 · Build

The first weeks.

We assemble your engine from proven components, tuned to your market and offer. Your first system goes live inside 14 days, not months. You review; the AI team builds.

03 · Run

Every week after.

The operator team runs it around the clock. Your growth leader owns the number and reports to you weekly.

Engagements are monthly and outcome-owned, not billed by the hour. We set exact scope and investment together on the call.

Our guarantee. Show up and implement, and if your engine is not live and running by day 90, we keep working at no extra cost until it is. We will not promise you a revenue number. That the engine gets built and runs, we guarantee.

Start here

See your fleet before you commit to anything.

Most founders do not have a traffic problem. They have a structure problem, and it is costing a specific number every month. The diagnostic finds that number in your own funnel, then shows you the team that would own it. No call required to get it.
