Growth Agent · Phase 1 Proposal

A system that scales
sales without you.

An AI agent that systematizes the playbook Poncho is building manually — proven in three weeks, executable by the team.

Status Quo

Handle has product-market fit.
Sales don't scale.

Strong traction, strong product — but 80% of pipeline still runs through one person.

What Works
  • Product is strong — 94% time reduction in registration
  • Brokers are happy — Inter.mx, Genomma Lab, De Acero
  • Funded — $6.7M seed, a16z led
What Doesn't
  • Poncho is the bottleneck — 80% of sales is him
  • No playbook — every conversation is improvised
  • Lost learning — insight disappears into Slack
