A growth firm for scaling companies

Growth needs a system. We build it with you.

We're a strategic growth partner for companies ready to scale.

Sound familiar?

You've grown past what got you here.

The business works. The sales team sells. But growth now depends on a freelancer here, an agency there, a CRM nobody fully trusts and reports nobody reads. Every piece is busy. None of them are connected.

That's not a talent problem. It's a missing system.

Sales with no pipeline view

One system, one owner: your company

Our philosophy

Stop leasing campaigns. Build an operating system that belongs to your business.

We replace scattered marketing and sales initiatives with one revenue system, owned by the business and built to grow with it.

Flywheels over funnels

A funnel ends at the sale. A flywheel uses every customer to move the next one.

The circle in our name is a flywheel: constant motion, compounding energy, connected systems. Four foundations go in first. Then six flywheels, each one feeding the others, with AI running through all of them.

The AI layer

Research, content, reporting and sales support run on AI inside every flywheel, so your team spends its time on decisions, not busywork.

VolanOS Our growth operating system.

VolanOS. The system behind every engagement.

We built VolanOS so great work wouldn't depend on one person having a good week. It's the same proven system applied fresh to each company, powered by AI and run by our team.

Why it exists

Growth shouldn't be improvised. Every company gets the same diagnosis, the same standards and the same rhythm.

How it works

Every lever, scored and sequenced. 35 growth levers move from inactive to compounding. Foundations first, amplifiers once the basics run.

What you get

Full visibility, full ownership. Your own client hub with status, deliverables and what's next. Every asset, dataset and playbook belongs to you, contractually.

Lever maturity

Compounding

Not one person. A team.

Strategy at the leadership table. An in-house team that executes.

Most fractional CMOs arrive alone and hand you a plan. We arrive with a team of specialists: strategists, designers, content, video, RevOps, developers and AI, all working on one system for your business.

How we engage

Start with clarity. Grow in stages. Never sign a year up front.

Decision one · 4 to 6 weeks · fixed scope

Decision two · six-month phases

01 Discover

Genesis

Our proprietary discovery system

Recorded, structured sessions across every area of growth, with market research layered on top. The whole business mapped as six connected flywheels, every growth lever found and scored.

You get the full intelligence on your business. Structure, not opinions.

02 Decide

Canon

Our proprietary intelligence system

Intelligence becomes direction. Priorities are set, the plan is built and reviewed with you, and nothing is built until it is understood and agreed. The canon is the single source of truth from here on.

You get the roadmap and the Phase 1 plan. Yours to keep, whether or not we continue.

03 Execute

Praxis

Our proprietary execution system

The plan is locked. The team builds it, sprint by sprint, foundation first, in six-month phases designed to compound rather than reset every quarter.

Together, this is VolanOS

One operating system for growth: discovery, intelligence and execution, built to run on purpose rather than by instinct. Design and alignment happen in Genesis and Canon. Praxis is pure execution against a settled plan.

Why these names

Genesis is the beginning: everything downstream depends on it being right. Canon is the agreed body of truth a team can work from. Praxis is theory put into practice.

The goal is ownership

Your team runs on the system we built together. When it runs without us, we step back. That's graduation, not churn.

Companies along the way

The founder

Hi, I'm André,
the founder of Volanos.

I designed my first website using Windows Notepad at 16. And then, I never stopped building scalable systems.

Before Volanos, I held executive roles at Booking.com, Groupon and Launchcode, and co-founded Keepo, which grew to 250,000 users before its acquisition.

Today I lead strategy and our work in AI, and serve as a fractional executive for some of our clients, alongside a team that builds and runs the whole system.

Volanos comes from volano, Italian for flywheel, because we build systems that keep driving growth, even when you're not looking.
