We Elevate & Accelerate Founders

Growth & Funding Advisory for Early-Stage Founders

We help you clarify your positioning, build simple funnels and craft a compelling investor story.

Founder-led support for founders

EA Growth is the advisory of Erman Aydin – founder, advisor and former startup CEO.

“After building a B2B SaaS company to a successful exit and working with accelerators and corporate innovation units, I saw one recurring problem: technical teams with great products but no senior support for growth and fundraising. I created EA Growth so you can access that expertise when you need it most.”

Where most founders get stuck

We work with founders who feel they have more potential than their current traction and funding reflect. If one of these feels familiar, you don’t need more tips – you need senior support on growth and funding.

Build the right product

Understand real customer problems and ship only what matters.

Turn traction into growth

Design a repeatable funnel instead of random experiments.

Prepare for funding

Craft a narrative and metrics that investors remember – beyond generic pitch deck advice.

Get senior support without hiring

Work with a fractional partner who has done this before.

How it works

A simple process built for Busy Founders

We keep things simple so you can stay focused on building your product and team.

Step 1

Free startup strategy call

45 minutes to understand where you are today, your growth and funding bottlenecks, and what success would look like over the next 3–6 months.

Step 2

Clarity on the right format

We decide together whether a fractional partnership, a sprint or a one-off workshop is the best fit for your stage and goals.

Step 3

Deep work, not more noise

We meet regularly, structure your priorities and review experiments and investor conversations so you can move faster with more confidence.

Launch & Funding Sprints

Intensive 6–8‑week sprints before a launch or funding round. We diagnose your current situation, design and test new positioning, funnel steps and investor narrative, then decide on a 90‑day action plan.

Best for founders facing a concrete deadline or funding milestone.

Support for Accelerators & Programs

Workshops, mentoring and portfolio support for accelerators, VCs and startup programs that want their founders to be stronger on growth and fundraising.

Best for accelerators, incubators and VCs.

Why Work With Us

Senior, not junior

You work directly with a senior advisor who has real startup experience, not a rotating cast of juniors or freelancers.

Growth & funding in one

We connect your go-to-market, funnel and investor story so everything pushes in the same direction.

Founder-first, no fluff

You get honest, practical advice and clear next steps – no buzzwords, no 50-slide decks you never use.

Access to a strong network

Benefit from a curated network of founders, investors, and specialist partners for extra expertise, hands-on support and relevant intros when needed.

An example project

From Random Leads to investor-ready in 10 weeks

A pre-seed B2B SaaS startup had a strong product and a few early customers, but no clear funnel or story for investors. Over 8 weeks we clarified their ICP, built a simple website → demo → follow-up funnel and sharpened their investor narrative.

Key outcomes:

  • +55% more qualified demo requests

  • Shorter sales cycle from ~6 to ~4 weeks

  • Clear storyline and metrics for a €500k pre-seed round

Not sure if this is the right timing?

Tell me where you are right now and what you’re thinking about – I’m happy to give you an honest view on whether EA Growth makes sense for you (or not).
