About GrowthLoop

GrowthLoop’s mission is to unleash the growth potential of the world’s most innovative brands by closing the loop between people, data, and AI.  Founded and led by former Google executives, GrowthLoop powers the workflow of thousands of marketers at enterprises like Google, Albertsons, Ford, Allegro, Indeed, and Priceline to grow faster with agentic AI and drive compounding business growth.

We’re building the first Compound Marketing Engine—AI-powered software that radically shortens the marketing iteration cycle and unlocks exponential growth for our customers. We are an AI-first company and our culture is rooted in six core values that guide how we build and grow:

  • Braveheart – People over process.
  • Friendly Genius – Humble learners with a growth mindset.
  • I Customer – Empathetic builders who care deeply about user impact.
  • Eye of the Hurricane – Calm, ambitious, and resilient amid chaos.
  • Make It So – Urgent, accountable, and biased toward action.
  • Breakfast Club– Collaborative, kind, and committed to shared success.
