From a concept to a $40k a month demand engine in twelve months.
Profoundly had a strong idea and an early product, but no engine underneath it. We built and scaled the demand engine end to end inside HubSpot, connecting demand, conversion and revenue into one measurable system.
A strong idea, an early product, and no engine underneath it.
Profoundly is a demand marketplace built inside the HubSpot ecosystem. The idea was strong and the early product was real. What was missing was the system that turns a promising concept into consistent, repeatable revenue.
Three problems defined the starting point. Demand was thin and inconsistent, around two projects a week with no reliable way to increase it. Almost nothing was converting, roughly one job won every two weeks. And revenue had no model behind it, sitting at about $3k a month with nothing repeatable driving it.
The problem was not the idea. It was the absence of a system around it.
A marketplace only works when three things move together: enough of the right demand coming in, a conversion process that turns that demand into won work, and a revenue model that makes the whole thing pay. Profoundly had none of these working yet. The goal was to build all three, and connect them, so the business had a demand engine it could scale rather than a concept it had to nurse.
Built and scaled the demand engine end to end, inside HubSpot.
The same operating model we bring to every B2B growth problem: connect demand, conversion and revenue into one measurable system, then scale it.
- Built a high-intent demand engine. Consistent, repeatable inbound volume, rather than sporadic one-off projects.
- Rebuilt the conversion system. Sharper qualification, matching and positioning, so more of the right jobs closed, not just more jobs in total.
- Designed the first real revenue model. A LeadFlow plus commission model that turned activity into predictable, scalable income.
Every part of the engine moved together.
- Demand: Increased project volume by 10x+, building a consistent, repeatable pipeline of high-value opportunities.
- Conversion: Improved jobs won by 15x+, through stronger qualification, positioning, and matching.
- Revenue: Grew monthly revenue by 10x+, establishing a clear and scalable monetization model.
Brian Garvey, CEO, ProfoundlyA proven, scalable demand engine, and a credible path to exit.
Profoundly went from an early-stage concept to the primary demand engine within its corner of the HubSpot ecosystem. More importantly, the business now has a clear monetisation model and a credible path toward exit.
The numbers grew, but the bigger shift was structural. Demand, conversion and revenue now work as one connected system, rather than three separate problems.
Most early-stage businesses do not stall on the idea.
They stall because there is no system turning the idea into repeatable revenue. A strong concept brings in the occasional project. A demand engine brings in consistent, qualified work, converts more of it, and pays for itself through a model built for scale. When demand, conversion and revenue are designed as one connected system, growth stops being sporadic and starts being predictable.
