Our mission is to help 2.1 million founders multiply profits while working less.

Time to wake up… 82% of businesses fail due to inconsistent cash flow (US Bank) and more than 94% of American workers report experiencing stress at their workplace (Stress.org).

This means bootstrapping founders especially are overworked, underpaid and trapped inside their business. 

Their mental health suffers and in doing so hurt their co-founders, teams, customers and every other person in their life.

Worst of all, they’re alone and ashamed to ask for help. So much for the 4 Hour Workweek… LMAO, definitely not what we signed up for.

After experiencing this problem ourselves, we realized the traditional methodology to start a digital agency and generate cash flow is fundamentally broken and obsolete.

So we sought out to pioneer a new, simpler way to grow, purposefully and peacefully. Since 2017, we’ve tested our growth and automation methodologies inside hundreds of firms, from brand new consultancies starting from scratch to Inc. 500 and Fortune 50.

The results speak for themselves.

To share these alternative methodologies we created Predictable Growth, a sales automation advisory firm with a simple name and mission:

Help 2.1 million (the top 1%) agency founders multiply profits while working less using automation and smarter technology.

We are here to share the good news and let the suffering end once and for all!

Instead of losing your team’s soul, potential and profit to the traditional high labor, inhumane model, there is a new alternative to grow that allows growth to be predictable, profitable and peaceful.

This is what Predictable Growth is all about.

The Predictable Growth Origin Story

After suffering from anxiety, burn out, depression and even losing a business partner to suicide, our founder Matt Kohn set out to pioneer a smarter, more humane alternative to profitably bootstrap his agency.

This is the origin story of Predictable Growth as told by Matt...

I quit my job to pursue my dreams full-time

I finally quit my desk job at 240 W 30th Street and hopped on a one-way flight to Medellin, Colombia; excited AF and scared shitless! I had one $500 freelance client and knew three words in Spanish: tacos, burritos and baño.
April 2017

I conquered burnout and broke 6 figures!

After 13 months of a brutal year and hiring my very first coach (Ian Luebbers), I finally started to catch momentum and broke the 6 figure revenue mark! Little did I know I was in for a rude awakening...
Late 2018 to 2020

I invested every dollar we made to learn from the best and ensure this never happened again.


I invested every dollar I made back into learning from the best in business then testing their sales and automation methodologies.

Since 2017, we tested our strategies inside hundreds of firms, from solo freelance consultants starting from scratch to the Fortune 50.

The results speak for themselves.
The next 12 months

Consistent 12 hour days, inconsistent revenue and moving home with Mom

I quickly realized the "dream" is nothing like you see on social media. Burn out, 12+ hour days and inconsistent client work meant it was time to sublet my Brooklyn apartment and move home... Sup Ma?
Early 2018

Got my first 100+ clients, then everything blew up

After 2 years, I bootstrapped from a solo freelancer to a fully remote design agency with over 100+ clients thanks to referrals!

Suddenly our 2 biggest clients (~60% of revenue) cancelled so I had to lay off my whole team :(

My mental health was destroyed for months and I was so depressed I didn't want to wake up most days.
Late 2021

So we created Predictable Growth, a B2B sales automation advisory firm with a simple name and mission.

Our mission is to help 2.1 million (the top 1%) bootstrapped agency founders and consultants increase profits with automation and smarter technology.

Our advising team is made of founders that have grown, automated and exited firms committed to predictable, peaceful growth.
March 25, 2016

I quit my job to pursue my dreams full-time

After years of wrestling with the decision, the tragic passing of my grandpa, my role model Scott Dinsmore and reading the 4 hour workweek inspired me to wake up and go all in on my dreams. I finally decided to quit my desk job at 240 W 30th Street and jumped on a one-way flight to Medellin, Colombia, both excited AF and scared shitless! I had one $500 freelance design client and the only words I knew in Spanish were tacos, burritos and baño.
The next 12 months

Consistent 12 hour days, inconsistent revenue and moving back home with Mom

I quickly realized the "dream" is nothing like you see on social media. I was burned out from working 12+ hours per day and inconsistent client work meant paying my rent in Brooklyn was a massive challenge. After a few months, I went into debt and was forced to move back home with my parents. Yo, whatup Mom?
April 2017

I conquered burnout and broke 6 figures!

After a brutal first year of freelancing and hiring my very first coach (Ian Luebbers), I finally started to catch serious momentum. After a few referrals came through, I managed to close over $20,000 of new business in a single day! After 13 months, my business broke the 6 figure revenue milestone. I felt invincible. Little did I know I was in for a rude awakening...
Early 2018

Grew agency from 0 to 100 clients before everything blew up

After two years, I was able to bootstrap my way from a solo freelancer to a fully remote, profitable design agency with over 100 clients thanks to referrals. Then everything changed. Our two biggest clients (about 60% of our revenue) cancelled and our pipeline was empty. Within a few short weeks, I had to let go of my entire team go and went from being on top of the world to being a depressed mess for months.
Late 2018 to 2020

I invested multiple 6-figures to learn from the best and master B2B client acquisition

I realized client acquisition was my core weakness so for the next 2 years, I invested multiple 6 figures into learning from industry leaders and ran hundreds of experiments in my business and with clients so I never found myself in this situation again. After years of tweaking and refining our system, the results became both predictable and mind blowing. Both myself and clients were able to sign up new high ticket clients outside of referrals in a single phone call without any drama, complicated funnels or custom proposals.
Late 2021

Predictable Growth is born to help companies grow without sacrificing their mental health

Before I knew it, we had dozens of success stories, clients were winning Inc. 500 awards and my own business went from relying solely on inconsistent referrals for clients to attracting clients on demand, fast, without ads, funnels, hiring, proposals or 10 hour work days. Best of all, I could finally relax instead of constantly wondering where my next client was coming from. In order to help others avoid the pain and suffering I endured for years, I decided to create Predictable Growth to provide a new, simple and fast alternative to grow.
