Artisan Strategies

Artisan Strategies is a growth advisory firm. We specialize effectively monetizing visitors to your website. 

This means any work you've done on marketing already, just becomes more effective. CAC goes down, retention goes up, your business makes money. Sometimes it means moving from unprofitable to profitable. 

If you don't quite have the visitors you need yet, let's talk. We can help connect you with the right people for increasing acquisition first. 

We're comfortable working across industries as long as there is a purchase flow and a single item being purchased (so no ecommerce.)

Clients include:
Blip Billboards (Ad-tech)
Zight (PLG SaaS)
Mezzi (Fintech)
Millerman School (education)
and more.

Our engagements are meant to enable you over the long-term. We aren't going to give you 37 growth hacks to go implement and then walk away. Leaving you lost and with questions the first time one of your tests fails. Or worse, unsure on how to actually implement your first test. This means we only take on clients that are serious about growth and increasing revenue.

As a generalist fund investing $200,000 to $1M in a wide range of early- to mid-stage companies.

On average teams of five people analyze investment potential of different companies, if the investment passes the qualificaitons of the team, they are then pitched by the team, first to fellow associates, then if passed, to an Investment Committee
          
Areas of projects personally worked on include: Social Gaming, Big Data,Construction, Medical Devices, Electric Vehicles.
           
Other VC firms personally worked with include Andreesen-Horowitz, Pelion VP, and Dolphin Capital

Senior Associate

Over a decade ago I walked into a small, unknown company. 

"We need someone who can just help us make more money. It'll be you and some engineers. Go ship whatever will make us more money. A/B tests, new features, paywalls, whatever. Just find money in the business."

I found out later, much later, that bets were placed around the company. Nobody bet we'd still be a team by the end of that year (it was February).

Well, we had a goal of $1M of cash to the business that year. A >20% increase in revenue...

We did that in the first quarter. From there, the rest is history.

Six years later, that business was well past $100M in ARR and I was about leave for my next startup adventure.

Fast forward to today, and I've discovered a powerful growth secret that most founders are still sleeping on.

But before we dive into that, let me hit you with a truth:

If you are an early-stage founder and you are not focusing on converting users as a key pillar to your business strategy... Frankly, you're leaving money on the table.

Why?

Because at the end of the day, you're not a business if people don't pay you money.

How do I know this?

At this point I've helped 
- Brand new companies get off the ground at a rocketship pace. 
- Turned companies around that we're seeing 30% year-over-year *declines* in revenue into putting up their best revenue *and* profit numbers ever.
- Taken companies that are growing at a "happy" pace to an "oh wow" pace.

Growth, Analytics & Experimentation @ Yodeck

Hi, I’m Vasilis 👋 Your casual growth nerd.
With 6+ years across growth, data, and CRO, I’ve spent the last 2 diving deep into product growth: running experiments, obsessing over activation, and trying to make metrics tell better stories.

I love questioning the status quo and breaking big goals into testable bets. I hate shipping features without a single success metric. Catch me around 3pm and I’m probably knee-deep in analytics dashboards, trying to spot weird user behaviors or prove a hypothesis wrong (again).
