Instead of starting new companies from the ground up, they felt their time could be better used if they focused exclusively on their greatest strength.
So they became a growth partner of an existing company by investing capital and then earned equity in exchange for their assistance in implementing a successful online marketing campaign. They were able to help that company grow its online traffic by over 600% in less than 18 months by investing less than a dozen hours per month. This not only let them capitalize on their greatest strengths, but also allowed the entrepreneur to focus on other areas of the company.
It worked so well, that they decided to create an online network for more companies to benefit from such a partnership. They are passionate about fostering entrepreneurship in any way possible and they felt this would be a great way to help many small companies achieve success.
I am passionate about entrepreneurship and fostering entrepreneurship so I am excited to be a part of Growth Partner. Entrepreneurship is a risky endeavor, but Growth Partner can help increase the chances that your entrepreneurial journey will result in creating a truly great company that will do big things.
I feel very fortunate to be able to work with a team of people who are some of the best in the world at online marketing and helping grow companies into something great as a result of their vast experience in high growth ventures in a variety of industries. Our goal is to apply this vast experience and expertise to as many companies as possible, but it is only scalable to a certain degree, which is why we are so strict in selecting the companies with which we work.
I have been involved in angel investing for a while and interacted with countless entrepreneurs who have received angel and VC funding. However, I have been disappointed in the varying levels of support and value that is received from the investors. So I am proud to be a part of Growth Partner since we are not only investing in companies with great ideas and a great team, but will only consider the partnership if we can add significant value to the venture, ensuring we are truly a partner and not another option for growth capital.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved creating partnerships and crafting deals. As a kid, Monopoly was my favorite game and I was always working on wheeling and dealing my way to the "next big deal."
Today, I still have that same spirit, albeit in a much more focused way. The Growth Partner team's passion for marketing coupled with a keen eye for opportunity on the internet, make us a pretty powerful business building force.
My main areas of experience are organic search engine optimization, premium domain name acquisitions, and viral marketing.
