About
Why Growth Leaps
In the venture stage, growth professionals give confidence to a startup's leadership in choosing the right paths. At a more advanced stage, they build frameworks for the different teams to iterate growth.
At Growth Leaps we bring expertise built over decades of experience across a multitude of markets and industries — without the dilution of an additional C-level employee. Growth is a mindset: systematically testing and optimizing every aspect of an organization, questioning every assumption, and leaving nothing to chance.
Services
What we do
Growth plans & channel prioritization
A full growth plan that prioritizes acquisition channels and product opportunities — so spend and effort go where they compound.
Financial forecasting
Month-on-month forecasting built on explicit marketing and growth assumptions — to break-even and beyond, adjusted as real data comes in.
Fundraising support
Test campaigns to validate CPA estimates, growth models investors can interrogate, and the pitch deck to raise the round.
Campaign & funnel audits
Independent audits of paid campaigns (Meta, Google, TikTok) and conversion funnels — keep your agency accountable and your budget efficient.
Analytics & reporting build
Tracking, attribution, dashboards, and cohort reporting built from the ground up — the infrastructure that shows what actually works.
Talent & leadership coaching
Define the growth profiles you need, hire them, and coach founders and marketing leads to run the system themselves.
