Scale from $1M to $10M with growth that feels damn near automatic.
Join the private network where growth-obsessed founders & leaders create the conditions that make momentum inevitable.
You’re scaling fast, but growth still seems fragile.
You’ve cracked $1M. Product-market fit is real. But every month still feels like you’re one brilliant hire away from a breakthrough—and one misstep away from a flat quarter.
You’re the force behind every growth decision. You’re on sales calls, editing landing page copy, deep in analytics, and testing pricing. Because while you’ve got a team, no one sees the complete growth picture like you do.
You’ve had a taste of momentum. Now, you’re focused on making it unstoppable.

You need to surround yourself with sharp minds who understand that growth isn’t a function — it’s an obsession.
You want to be in the room with other growth-driven leaders moving at your pace, building toward $10M with the same intensity and focus you bring to every decision.

The private network for proven founders and growth leaders scaling from $1M to $10M —obsessed with creating growth that feels unstoppable
Inside, you get no-BS insights, strategies that hit harder, and growth systems so dialed-in that stepping back amplifies momentum instead of killing it.
Nail the growth levers that
separate $1M from $10M.
Most founders think they need more traffic or better product features. But the companies that scale fastest obsess over the fundamentals that actually move the needle. That’s exactly what we focus on inside Damn Near Automatic.

Onboarding That Converts
Turn your activation problem into your biggest advantage with onboarding flows that convert, retain, and drive referrals.
Messaging That Resonates
Finally explain what you've built in a way that makes prospects say, "I need this NOW" instead of "I don't really get it."
Meet your host.

FAQ
1. Who’s in the room?
The wrong conversations waste your time. But the right room, with the right people, and the right conversations compound your momentum. In DNA, every member is a founder or growth leader who’s already proven traction and is obsessed with scaling to $10M and beyond. Plus, the guest experts are all people who have actually done it.
2. How does this help protect my momentum?
At this stage, the most expensive mistake is going backward. DNA is built to prevent stalls—through curated Founder Rooms, quick-turn feedback, and accountability that keeps you moving.
3. Will I get real, actionable growth levers—not just theory?
Yes. Every Growth Session, expert deep-dive, and Vault resource comes from operators who’ve actually done it. No gurus. No fluff. Just battle-tested strategies.
4. What is the cost?
$499/month or $4,999 per year. Here’s the math: one smart pricing shift, one onboarding fix, one messaging breakthrough could pay for your annual membership many times over. And you’ll get access to strategies, perks, and feedback loops that prevent costly mistakes.
5. What’s the process to join?
Because the power of this community is in the people in the room, we’re using an application to pre-qualify people who want to be in the community. We’ll be approving applications by hand, but you’ll know pretty quickly when you’re approved.
Once your application is approved, you’ll be sent an email with instructions to actually join us inside the community space.

6. Can I apply if I haven't hit $1M ARR yet?
Absolutely. When we're looking at applicants, we're looking more at your drive to reach $10M than your current revenue level. If you're not there yet, let us know when you expect to reach that milestone. Past experience is also a plus if you're not at that $1M mark with your current project, so be sure to include that in your application as well.
