# Costprice > Costprice is an embedded 0→1 growth engine for Seed-stage founders. We work at cost price, no markup, no agency margin, because our incentive is to drive more growth stories and build a larger cohort. We have grown 8 companies across PLG, GTM, and Category Creation motions over 7 years. We are now forming a cohort of 21 companies. Costprice is not an agency. We embed as a founder's complete growth team for 12–18 months: strategy, execution, channel ownership, and handover. We pick the right growth motion (PLG, Sales-led GTM, or Category Creation), build the infrastructure, and run it end-to-end. ## What We Do - **Growth Motion Diagnosis**: We answer the PLG vs. GTM vs. Category Creation question with a three-question diagnostic before spending a dollar on execution. - **Strategy & Foundation (Months 1–2)**: ICP definition, competitive audit, positioning, channel prioritisation, 12-month execution calendar, messaging framework, analytics setup. Charged upfront. - **Execution & Iteration (Months 3–6)**: ABM sequences, content engine, SEO architecture, paid media, events, community seeding, weekly feedback loops, MQL tracking. - **Scale & Compound (Months 7–12)**: Channel doubling, AI-assisted content scale, pipeline velocity improvement, brand authority build, sales enablement, partner channel exploration. - **Handover or Extend (Months 12–18)**: Full playbook handover, in-house team training, vendor contracts transferred, or extension on same terms. ## Pricing - Setup & strategy (months 1–2): $10,000 upfront - Execution, monthly advance (months 3+): $4,000/month - Total 12-month engagement: $50,000 - Zero markup on ad spend. No retainer inflation. - Comparison: VP Marketing costs $180–220k/year. A full-service agency runs $180k+/year with 15–20% spend markup. Costprice is your entire growth team for $50k. ## Who We Work With - Seed to Series A founders with product-market fit - At least 3 customers who would be very disappointed if the product shut down - ICP clear enough to describe in one sentence - Founders who want to focus on the product and trust a team to own distribution ## Who We Do Not Work With - Pre-PMF companies (marketing cannot fix PMF) - Founders who want to control every marketing decision - Companies looking for short-term lead generation only ## The Cohort Costprice operates in cohorts. The current cohort has 21 spots. 2 are filled. 19 remain. Applications are reviewed personally and responded to within 5 business days. ## Our Track Record - 8 companies grown from 0 to 1 - 7 years running the playbook - Notable companies: Zenduty, Plane, Distill, Damngud, Kruzr, Crystal Group, Stackform, Meridio, Fieldr - At Zenduty: grew from ~$100k ARR to $1.1M ARR using PLG, trigger-based email, DevRel, SEO to 1.2M monthly impressions at position 14.2 average. Trial-to-paid conversion 4x. ## Thinking (Blog) Costprice publishes long-form frameworks for founders navigating 0-to-1 growth. Written by operators, not content marketers. Each article is also available as clean markdown at the /md endpoint. - [Rule of 40 for SaaS: the metric you're tracking too early](https://costprice.in/thinking/rule-of-40-saas-startups) Markdown: https://costprice.in/thinking/rule-of-40-saas-startups/md -
