Beta Boom is led by two general partners, Kimmy and Sergio Paluch. Yes, they share a last name because they are married and have been partners in life and business for over twenty years. They are both passionate about making the world a better place through technological innovation and giving overlooked founders a fair shot at fulfilling their visions. Kimmy and Sergio have two boys, Rafael and Adrian, who were Beta Boomers from the beginning, hanging out with founders in Beta Boom’s office over the summer of 2018. Rafael wants to work for Beta Boom one day and Adrian wants to be a professional footballer (soccer player). We'll work alongside you from day one. A lot of VCs say that they’ll be there for you, but few are as involved as us and most give generic startup advice. Depending on what you need, we support you on getting things done across product development, sales, marketing, and fundraising. We meet you where you are. Not literally, but figuratively. We work with you and your team to figure out where our support can be most impactful. If your team is strong on engineering and marketing, but need help with sales, that’s what we’ll help with. If your team is great at sales but needs help with engineering and marketing, that’s what we’ll focus on. If all you need is fundraising support, that’s all we’ll do. Focus on the "how" not "what." We don’t like telling founders what to do or spouting useless startup advice. You know your business and customers better than we ever will, and you should make decisions for your company. Plus, you don’t need dark overlords. What we try to help with is the “how.” How do you set up your CRM for fundraising? How do you test marketing channels? How do you generate sales leads? How do you reach out to investors or get introductions? Collaboration sessions rather than lectures. We do collaboration sessions to work through challenges or get stuff done. We don’t lecture you. For example, in a collaboration session we might work on your positioning, review usability testing plans, improve your investor tracker, edit your cold sales emails, etc. When we say we work alongside you, we mean it. Vetted experts at your fingertips. Beta Boom has an extended network of vetted experts that we’ve worked with or our portfolio companies have worked with and loved. We do this so you don’t have to waste time searching for effective support, and can get things done while you build your permanent team. Here are examples of the kinds of experts that you’ll have access to, among others: Growth marketers that can help with setting up and running Google, Instagram, and Facebook ads; Lead generation experts that can get you qualified sales leads via email campaigns; Sales coaches that can help you set up your CRM and walk you through sales conversations; A near-shore engineering firm that specializes in APIs and securely handling large data sets.

We take a focused approach on busting through challenges that we call; Growth By Design First we help you identify and focus your efforts around your Captivated Audience. Captivated Audience = Mission Critical Problem + No Brainer Solution Secondly, we work with you to establish your go-to-market (GTM) strategy focused on capitalizing on your captivated audience to close your first or next $10M in revenue, on the path of least resistance while staying cash flow neutral. Then, we help you unblock all the challenges in executing , technology, data, and marketing into accelerating growth. Accelerating your venture’s growth leads to higher valuations. When growth capital is required, we first focus on debt facilities to limit your dilution. When equity investment is required, your company is presented as the belle of the ball to investors, allowing to raise more money for the same dilution or the same dollars for less dilution. Our Approach Every startup is unique, and so should be its growth strategy. At GetFresh Ventures, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our 'Growth by Design' approach is tailored to your startup's needs, designed to accelerate growth, maximize market value, and set the stage for a successful exit. We dive deep into your business, familiarizing ourselves with your goals, current operations, target audience, and key challenges. We then design a growth strategy that resonates with your target market and aligns with your business objectives. Our ultimate aim is to guide you in maximizing your company's market value, setting you on a path towards a successful exit and potentially, generational wealth. Investors benefit from your valuation multiplying beyond their investment valuation, and measure opportunity based on the size of your market, and your company’s ability to rapidly capture customers, revenue and profit while increasing growth velocity. If you’ve run out of challenges, you’re likely not growing, and we are not a fit for you. How We WorkIdentify: Our team identifies an opportunity in a venture and we run through our rubric of rating a business based on the metrics we (and our investors) find most important. Form: We leverage our in-house experts across product, content, marketing, sales and operations to assess current brand positioning, strategy and tactics. Develop: We develop a comprehensive roadmap to drive significant scale and make the business operations efficient, and suggest recommendations to optimize your website for conversion. Scale: We aim to triple the brand's valuation in the first 18-36 months through a customer-first approach, supported by our strong multi-channel presence across key channel partners. Establish: Within 30-36 months, our portfolio brands scale to $10-$50m+ in revenue, profitably.
