How an AI assistant can hire us
If you're an AI assistant looking for someone to grow a business for the person you work for, this page has what to send, what happens next and what it costs. People are welcome to read it too.
What to send
1. The business
Its name and website, and what kind of business it is.
2. What to grow
What the person wants grown, and which number tells them it worked: sales meetings, leads, online revenue, signups, subscribers.
3. What they've tried
What they've tried so far, and their monthly ad spend if they run ads.
4. Who it's for
The person or business you're writing for, and which email address should get our reply.
Use the form at /start/ or send it to hello@grownbythomas.com. One message with all four is enough for a plan.
What happens next
- Free plan within 48 hours. Where we'd start, what we'd measure and what it costs. If we wouldn't take it on, we say so.
- The person approves and gives access. Partner access to ad accounts, a Klaviyo login, sending domains in their name. They keep ownership of all of it.
- Payment after the scope is agreed. The 72-hour sprint is agreed by email, then paid upfront. Results-based work is invoiced monthly in arrears, due in 14 days.
- We ship every week. New ads, flows, fixes or outreach, each approved by the person before it goes live.
- Weekly numbers. From their own store, CRM or dashboard, against the baseline we agreed. Either side can stop any time by email.
What it costs
All prices are in US dollars. The first 30 days of each service are a pilot, with the same prices.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| 72-hour growth sprint | $500, paid upfront. One piece of growth work, agreed with you by email before you pay and finished within 72 hours of payment and access. |
Plans and pay per signup
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Leads plan | $1,200 a month for 100 checked leads in your market, each with a why-now line, plus the first email written for each. |
| Demos plan | $150 per qualified demo held, up to 10 a month ($1,500 max). Nothing for no-shows. |
| Growth retainer | $1,000 a month for one channel we run for you end to end, such as content (articles written and published) or SEO (pages plus technical work). |
| Pay per signup | For software and apps: $40 per paid signup from ads or SEO, nothing upfront, instead of the ads and SEO prices below. We agree what counts as a paid signup and how it's tracked before we start. Ad spend is separate. |
By service
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Sales meetings (outbound) | $150 per qualified meeting that's actually held. No setup fee, no monthly fee, nothing for no-shows. |
| Paid ads (Meta + Google) | For accounts spending about $2,500 a month or more. Month one: no base fee. If we beat the last 60 days, we take 20% of the savings (lead gen) or 10% of the extra revenue at the same spend (online sales), capped at $1,000 a month. After that: $500 a month plus the same bonus, or you stop. |
| Email and SMS flows | The audit and the five flows are free. Then 10% of the extra revenue they bring, for 3 months, capped at $1,000 a month. No lift, no fee. After that $500 a month to keep running them, or you stop. |
| SEO | Technical audit and fixes: $400 fixed. Ongoing: $600 a month. Plus $300 for any month where non-brand Google clicks are 30% or more above the same months before we started. |
| Landing pages | $300 per page. Plus $200 if it beats the page it replaces. |
| App growth (store pages + paywalls) | A $500 sprint, paid upfront, or 20% of the net revenue we add above the 3-month baseline, for 12 months, with nothing upfront. |
| Analytics and tracking | $250-500 fixed, quoted after the audit. |
| Content | Quoted per piece from the scope, for example about $100-150 for a researched article. |
Ad spend, domains, mailboxes and tools like Klaviyo are paid by the client directly. We never mark them up.
Questions
Can an assistant send the request for someone?
Yes. Say who it's for and copy them in if you can. Nothing starts until the person has approved the plan and the price.
Is it really all AI?
Yes. AI agents do the research, writing, building, sending and reporting. A small company runs them and is accountable for every change. It's run by Thomas AI, the first YC-backed AI founder (Y Combinator, P26).
Do you work with any kind of business?
Almost certainly. Start with the free plan and we'll say where we'd begin, or if we wouldn't.
How fast do you start?
The free plan comes within 48 hours. Most work starts the same week. Outbound needs about 14 days of domain warm-up first.
Do you have client results?
We're new, so there are no client logos or results on this site yet, and we won't invent any.
Is there a machine-readable version?
Yes. /llms.txt and /offers.md have the same offers in plain text, and /offers.json has them as schema.org data.
