groas

Hey PH! 👋 Here's how groas came to be: I was working in PE by day and scaling dropshipping stores by night. Became obsessed with Google Ads - got really good at it, started seeing what actually moves the needle vs. what's just busywork. But everywhere I looked, I saw the same thing: friends and fellow founders getting destroyed by agencies and freelancers. Locked into contracts, zero transparency, mediocre results, and $10k/month invoices for someone to "monitor" their account for 2 hours a week. I have a compsci background, so I kept thinking — why does this need to be a human job at all? But here's the thing: off-the-shelf AI doesn't cut it for this. We had to train our models on $500B+ worth of ad spend data to understand what actually converts. Thousands of iterations. Endless fine-tuning. Teaching the system to read search intent, understand conversion patterns across industries, and make decisions that outperform senior media buyers. That's the moat - not the UI, not the integrations. The data and the custom training. Took us way longer than expected to get here, but now we're managing $35M+/month for brands & businesses you've probably interacted with. Happy to nerd out on the technical side, answer questions, or hear your agency horror stories 😅
