2V Automation.AI

2V Automation.AI is an agency that builds custom no/low-code automation for SMBs, mid-sized businesses, and enterprises.

We work on a subscription model where you pay a fixed monthly amount and get unlimited automation services as you need them. 

Unlike some other no-code agencies, we have a complete and very experienced engineering team that can solve any non-trivial case, add some custom code magic if needed, find the most cost-efficient solution etc.

If you feel that your business needs an automation that streamlines the operations and/or it will benefit from freeing up hundreds of hours of team members doing manual work - we should work.

More details below →

I've been an entrepreneur + engineer since school. Built websites, apps, agencies (and a few other businesses). 2V Modules is a successful product development agency that I'm still running.

Today, our primary focus is on automation and specifically AI-powered automation since. 
AI has changed what can be done in SMBs, scaleups, and enterprises in pretty much every aspect of their business, from marketing and sales to software development and HR. 

2V Automation is an agency that works on a subscription model and helps businesses to automate their operations with no/low-code tools and AI agents.

What makes us stand out:

3. Experience and background
Unlike other AI Automation specialists who were high school students two years ago, our team members have at least 5 (or 20, as I do) years of hands-on experience in automation and software development. Our solutions are efficient, reliable, and maintainable.

2. Excellent reviews. 
We've collected dozens of reviews from happy clients over 
2V Automation is now a standalone brand within our business, and we maintain the highest standards.

3. Pricing model. We want agency pricing to be simple. 
You get one unlimited subscription and send us as many requests as you need.

For any B2B business doing from $2M to $20M in annual revenue. 

Here's how you can save $100K - $500K/year:

I'm looking for ONE business founder/CEO ready to become the most transparent case study on LinkedIn. 

You will not pay. Details below:

*List of criteria that you and your business have to meet:*

1. B2B service business - consultancy, on-site, facility services, field operations - ideally, if you serve SMBs with short deal cycles
2. Between $2M - $15M annual revenue at the moment
3. Willing to become more profitable, efficient, and scale further.
4. You (as a founder/CEO) are active on LinkedIn
5. You (as a founder/CEO) have at least 1,000 followers here

*What I offer:*

1. We will work with you for 6-12 months and implement 2V Systems - our automation backbone for efficient B2B businesses. 
2. You won't pay a cent. Zero. Free.
3. You will get *guaranteed* results. We usually guarantee positive ROI but since your money investments will be zero, our guarantee is that you'll generate/save at least $100K/year at minimum and more likely $200K-$300K per year, sometimes up to $500K. And more importantly, you will multiply those numbers as business grows. 

*Why are we doing this?*
Easy. It's a lead-generation machine I'm building.

I could spend $100K on ads, write 500 LinkedIn posts about "the power of AI automation," or hire a PR agency to tell everyone how great we are.

Or... I could just prove it. Live. In public. With receipts.

I know the systems we implement deliver the results we promise. We've done it before. We'll do it again. But nobody wants to hear me say that. They want to see a real founder, with a real business, sharing real numbers as it happens.

That's what this is.
You share constant updates from the trenches. The wins, the headaches, the "holy shit this actually saved us 20 hours this week" moments. You become living proof that this works — and works fast.

I get a case study that sells itself. You get a more profitable, efficient business for free.

The best marketing isn't claiming you're good. It's showing your work.
And I'm ready to show mine.

Who's in? 
If this is you, or you know a founder who'd be perfect, drop a comment or DM me directly.

Ideally, comment for better reach. 

I know there's a founder somewhere looking to make the business more efficient through automation, but not knowing which direction to take. 

If you can’t send me a DM and don’t want to comment, just go straight away through our efficiency scorecard and add a note that you come from this post:

https://lnkd.in/e6PZWYvw

Timeline:
We will collect requests until December 1st. I will talk to all business leaders interested and make the final choice before December 15th.

Everyone interested but not selected - we can still help you, and we can discuss special conditions if you're willing to share your journey in public.

Let's turn your operations into content and your business into a machine.

CEO @ 2V Automation | The automation backbone for $3M – $30M service companies.

"So you want to automate your business processes?"

"Yes, Dave" 

"What's your goal?" 

"Unified, streamlined, single-source-of-truth system"

"Ok, how do you plan to achieve it?"

"I download random n8n templates that I find on LinkedIn."

"Hmmmmm..."

"Why don't you work with companies doing less than $3M/year?" 
This is the most common question I get.

The reasons are simple:
(a) They usually can't afford our systems
(b) They usually don't need our systems
(c) And even if they did, they wouldn’t feel the real ROI

That’s why we set a clear threshold.

If your business is over $3M/year, you'd typically have:
- SOPs (not everywhere, but still)
- Clear roles with fewer "everyone does everything" situations
- Enough data to prioritise implementation

If it's at $1M-$2/year, it's very often the opposite. No SOPs, blended roles, and too many manual bridges holding things together. It’s a great stage to build operational systems, but not yet to unify everything under one automation backbone.

Our promise is simple: positive ROI within 6 months through installing a scalable automation layer that compounds over time.

We don’t take projects where we can’t keep that promise - and that’s why we start at $3M+. 

PS 
Tbh, qualifying leads and making sure you only work with your ICP is one of the Top-5 skills that make a successful service business.

Single-biceps workout program.

That's what patchwork system integration looks like.

Absurd? Sure. Though I've seen guys at the gym doing biceps curls only.

Anyone who understands the basics knows it's nonsense:
You can't train one tiny muscle without everything else: core, back, legs, chest, and mobility.

Yet businesses do this exact thing with automation every day.

Why? Lack of knowledge in integration principles.

They automate ONE process in isolation and wonder why nothing improves.

Same result as our one-armed gym bro:
❌ The "strong" process isn't synced with anything else
❌ It's wildly unstable
❌ Bottlenecks everywhere. No matter how much IT scales, manual steps limit the whole system

We never build single-biceps automations.

Our goal: bring the ENTIRE company to the next level, not isolated processes.
Takes more time? Yes. 
Costs more upfront? Yes.
Pays off exponentially? Also yes.

Stop doing bicep curls. Build the whole system.

I strongly believe in social proof for B2B service businesses.

How else would someone know you can deliver?

I mean, you can risk $50-$100 with a B2C product or service. 
However, even a bad haircut will make you sad.

But if it's a poorly executed $20K or $200K project that took months to deliver?
It might be crucial for a business. Lost money, lost opportunity, and potentially lost competition.

That's why I always focus on collecting those reviews and doing everything possible to deliver results our clients will be happy with. 

And yes, we collect intermediary reviews as well. 

Our full business automation process rarely takes less than 6-8 months, but as soon as our client starts seeing real results, we ask for the first review. 

Here's one of the recent reviews from a happy client.

Everyone's giving away free 12-hour courses now. 

My opinion: you can't learn a craft from 12 hours of video.

You can get structure. 
You can understand enough to manage someone who does the work. 

But mastery? 

That only comes from building something badly, shipping it, then looking back 7 years later and cringing at what you didn't know.

I look at the software products we built in 2017...

So much we could've done better. 
But if we never built them, we'd never have learned those lessons.

I think that courses have their place. 

Especially if you're hiring for something and want to know enough to smell BS - I always try to dive into a topic deep enough to ask the right questions and see if someone's knowledge is actually much deeper than mine in a specific niche (this gives me confidence that the project will succeed). 

But real skill comes from the panic of a deadline, a real client waiting, and no tutorial that covers your exact mess. 

What taught you more: the tutorial or your first disaster of a project?

My LinkedIn posting decision tree is simple:

Do I have a great post idea burning inside?

YES: Go ahead and write a post

NO: Don't push myself when I don't have inspiration. I just open Flowthority - founder content autopilot daily content bot. 

No more stress about "not posting"
No stress at all about running out of ideas

I finally feel that I'm not obligated to post.

I post when I want - when I don't - I still post with Flowthority and spend literally 5 minutes on a post.

Cactus raised $7M to automate the most boring part of home services: answering after-hours calls, booking jobs, and following up until the work is done.

Not sexy. Extremely profitable.

They target the exact moments where revenue leaks happen. 

Missed calls at 9 PM. 
Zero follow-ups after the quote. 
The operator who forgot to confirm Tuesday's install.

We see this pattern constantly in automation builds for service businesses. 

One of the low-hanging fruits for getting more leads is making sure you respond to every single call fast. This means handling after-hours calls and avoiding long queues during business hours. 

Fix the boring loop first: intake → scheduling → aftercare. Models and magic are secondary.

Most operators obsess over which AI to use. 
Wrong question. 

The right one is: which revenue moment are you currently ignoring because no human picks up?
