I’m the Founder & CEO of GrowthX AI, where we’re reimagining how companies scale. We scaled to $7m+ profitably in less than a year, and we just raised $12M Series A led by Madrona.

Before launching GrowthX AI, I spent 15+ years leading high-impact marketing and go-to-market teams at some of the world’s most innovative companies—from IBM and HPE to hyper-growth startups like HashiCorp, ServiceTitan, and UpKeep. Most recently, I was CMO at Deepgram.

Throughout my career, I've been focused on one thing: growth. I understand the pain points of startups and enterprises alike, and I’m passionate about fixing the broken systems holding growth back.

Today we’re launching my CRAZY idea!

Investing $1M to build the most valuable resource for growth operators who want to be AI-native.

(I bought this domain before I started GrowthX AI btw)

Every day we get to help companies like Lovable, Ramp, and Webflow grow organically.

We’re experience insane organic traction:

  → $13m+ in revenue
  → Cash flow positive
  → 8-week waitlist for new customers


But everything started with ONE WORKSHOP. Giving away everything I knew. Genuinely trying to help and give value.

Hopefully by now I’ve earned enough trust with everyone to know this is not a marketing gimmick.

I believe the best marketing is no marketing. It’s building resources so valuable that people would be willing to pay for it.

That’s what we are doing!!

Launching a paid community and committing to invest $1m+ to make it by far the most valuable resource for GROWTH OPERATORS who want to be AI-native.

but as I tell my 2 yr old...


you can do hard things!


sometimes we need that reminder as well. 

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend and taking some time to recharge and re-energize yourselves. 

much love 💜

Congrats to one of our favorite customers, Lovable, for yet another INSANE milestone!


We've only been working with them for a few months here at GrowthX AI but it's already some of the most fun we've had.

Here's to keeping it going 🥂

We launched Lovable one year ago, and today we hit $200M ARR.

Here's our story:

We started with a small team in Europe in a co-working space. Almost no one knew who we were, and we didn’t know what was coming.

But that changed quickly...

We transparently shared everything that happened on social media, including product updates, metrics, and new team members. 

Then, thousands of people started sharing what they built with Lovable.

Now, we have one of the most active communities in tech, with over 70 community-run events happening this week alone. People all over the world build 100,000+ new projects on Lovable every day.

It’s not just Lovable that’s grown fast: our users have too...

Lumoo, Quicktables, and Plinq are all products built entirely on Lovable with $10k-$100k in MRR just months after starting.

Designers, PMs, and even developers inside large companies have grown into an important customer group: HCA Healthcare now focuses less on mockups and more on patient care, and Klarna ships weekly instead of quarterly using Lovable.

Today, we’re releasing multiple product updates (read more on our blog):

1. MCP servers: Linear, Jira, Notion, Confluence, n8n
2. Themes: set brand standards across projects
3. Improved visual edits: multi-select components & image generation

MCPs are live today. Themes & visual edits rolling out this week.

We're also opening offices in Boston and San Francisco and building a world-class leadership team. Year one proved it works. Year two is about scale.

To thank you all for this year: For the next 7 days, if you refer someone to Lovable and they publish a project you'll both get 50 credits (that’s 5x more than usual!).

We're looking forward to many more Lovable years ❤️
