"I talked to Jesse on a Sunday night and by Monday morning I was thrown into a new DTC business managing cash flow, hiring a team, and scaling marketing spend."

"Starting a business with GX is a cheat-code: within the first week of launching, we had already lined up sales calls with some of the biggest PE funds in the world."

Kasey Grelle

Chief executive officer

"In just two years, we’ve grown GA to $10M revenue and we’re on track to grow 66% next year. Jesse and GX are an invaluable resource: providing guidance, troubleshooting problems, and investing in my leadership."

What we look for

A co-founder that invests in you

We support you with labor and love for the long haul. Our entrepreneurs range from experienced operators on their first entrepreneurial journey to founders looking for another swing.

Co-found with us

Coachable

Open-minded, curious, and growth-oriented— you embrace new ideas, pro-actively seek feedback, and have unparalleled learning velocity to create compounded growth.

Adaptable

Coachability is about the person changing themselves, adaptability is about their ability to deal with external changes. You zoom in and out quickly, connecting dots, and easily adjusting on the fly.

Entrepreneurial rigor

The best entrepreneurs leverage hustle and rigor, simultaneously. Hustle is about moving fast, using imagination, being bold, and tenacious. Rigor is being data-driven, using logical reasoning, and reflecting.

Unfair advantages

With unique expertise, deep knowledge, and a strong network, an entrepreneurial mind leverages what sets them apart to gain an edge and outshine the competition.

Owner’s mindset

Accountable, proactive, and decisive—a true owner who takes 100% responsibility of their actions, actively seeks opportunities, and makes decisions in pursuit of learning.
