Frequently asked questions
Why does Polaris Growth Studio exist?
We exist because we believe that small-yet-growing enterprises are operating under a broken growth playbook.
For founders, it can feel like you only have three options, all of them bad. Those options are: hire a junior full-time person, hire a traditional agency, or try to do everything yourself. All three of these options are costly, and too often don’t deliver real results.
Polaris Growth Studio is an alternative. With Polaris, you get hands-on expertise from strategy to execution.
You do need to build a foundation that supports growth, and scales as you do. Polaris is designed to help you build that foundation, and provide the talent you truly need - when you need it.
Who does Polaris serve?
We’re built to serve the unique needs of technology startups at the early and growth stages, as well as mid-market innovators implementing a results-focused approach to growth. We typically work directly with founders and CMOs.
Our expertise is deepest in what we sometimes call “unsexy tech”: finance, healthcare, marketing and sales operations, and property/construction/real estate.
We prioritize future-focused companies working to improve the lives of their community (however you might define that). In other words, you’re building a product or service that makes the world a better place to live, work, and play.
We’re not a great fit for B2C or D2C eCommerce brands, nor for large consumer brands.
