Built by an Operator,
for Operators

I have built revenue systems with my own budget on the line, raised the capital, and run the companies. Ironwood is that experience installed inside yours, plus the AI agents to keep it running.

David Erickson

Managing Partner, Ironwood Growth Partners

I am an American operator who has built and run companies on both sides of the Atlantic, speak native French, and build the custom AI agents that let a small team run a real growth motion. That overlap is rare. Most growth advisors have never carried a revenue number, and most people who can build the automation have never run a go-to-market.

Across 8 companies on three continents, I have been the person responsible for making growth happen: the demand generation, the sales process, and the revenue operations that make it measurable and repeatable. I have also raised millions across angel, institutional, and impact capital, so I know what a working revenue engine has to look like before investors will fund it.

I started Ironwood to be the person a founder hires when they want the machine built and running. You get the system installed, the AI agents that run it, and a team that knows how to operate both after I am gone.

What Makes Ironwood Different

Operator, Not Advisor

Most growth help ends at recommendations. I install the actual system and leave a working revenue engine behind, built by someone who has run one.

AI Built In

I build the custom AI agents that carry the repetitive work, so a lean team can run a real growth motion instead of watching it decay for lack of headcount.

Both Sides of the Atlantic

Native French and years operating across the US and Europe mean I can build a US revenue engine for an American company or a French one entering the US.

Productized and Transparent

Fixed scope, prices you see before you commit, and a clear path from a two-week audit to a full build to an ongoing retainer.

My Mission

To leave every client with a working revenue engine and the AI agents to run it, so growth becomes something their business produces on purpose rather than by luck.
