From goals to results

At any given time, one bottleneck limits how fast your business can grow. We help you identify it, focus your efforts, and quickly test ways to remove it. Then we tackle the next one, moving you closer to your goal.

What do you want from your business?

You can grow your business several times over. The first step is to understand what is holding back growth right now and address it.

Your business is established, and you have plenty of ideas and opportunities. But you either don't know where to focus or aren't seeing growth despite knowing what needs to change.

We look at your product, customers, sales, business economics, and management. We identify the main bottleneck, formulate hypotheses for addressing it, and test them in weekly sprints.

Where to start: book a diagnostic session.

Step back from day-to-day operations

You can put your management team in charge of running the business and focus on what interests you now: strategy, a new product, or your next business.

You've had enough of running everything yourself, so you delegate. Things go wrong, you step back in to fix them, and the cycle starts again.

We help you define what the CEO is responsible for, which decisions stay with you, and how you will set expectations and review performance together. We work with the executive taking charge and help you prepare to let go.

Make a successful exit

Free up resources for your next venture.

An exit is a project in its own right. You need a clear goal, a pipeline of potential buyers, and time each week to move the sale forward, even while the business demands your attention.

I help you stay focused on the sale and follow through on the work it takes. At the same time, we keep the business growing and help your management team take charge, so the company relies less on you.

I have helped several clients complete exits worth millions and tens of millions of dollars.

Launch your next venture

You can launch a new product, build your next business, or set up a venture studio or accelerator to develop multiple ventures.

After building a successful business, you have capital, experience, and connections. But it's easy to use them up pursuing ideas that won't work. You need a way to choose which ideas to test, decide how much to invest, and know when to keep going or stop.

We help you build that process and put systems in place to manage your projects. You can launch several businesses, test their viability, and invest more in those that are working.

Why this works

Entrepreneurs have a million things to do and a thousand ideas. But how fast the business grows depends on its current bottleneck. Until you address it, other improvements may make no difference.

That bottleneck can be hard to spot from inside the business. It may be a problem you haven't noticed or one you'd rather avoid. Someone else's blind spots are different from yours, so an outside perspective helps you see what you've been missing.

The next step is to focus and test possible solutions quickly. We identify what's getting in the way, decide what to try, and plan the week's work. A week later, we review what you did, what changed, and what you learned. We use that evidence to reassess the bottleneck and plan the next sprint.

That is what we do in Growth Tracking.

They planned for 50% growth and grew fivefold

One of my clients planned to grow by 50% in a year. We looked at comparable companies in his market and saw how much more was possible. We set a more ambitious goal and started testing ways to reach it, pushing the company to grow faster than before.

As the pace increased, parts of the business could no longer keep up: first in marketing, then production and management. Each time, we identified the biggest constraint and tested ways to address it. Resolving one bottleneck allowed the company to grow faster, revealing the next one to tackle.

Within a year, the company had grown fivefold instead of the planned 50%.

How we can work together

Work with Eugene Kalinin

I help you grow your business, step back from day-to-day operations, or launch your next venture. Together, we identify what's holding you back and follow through on the changes you need to make.

How it works

My job is to spot what you've missed, what you're avoiding, and when you're relying on habit rather than strategy. We find a way forward when your usual solutions stop working. We also look at your role: where you need to get involved, where to hand over responsibility, and how to reach agreements with your CEO or partners.

Each week, we review what's working, where you're stuck, and what deserves your attention next. That keeps you making progress towards your larger goal, even when day-to-day demands threaten to take over.

We start with a diagnostic session focused on your business, strategic project, or new venture. We look at where you are, where you want to go, and what's in the way, then agree on your first steps.

Build a management system

Free up time for strategy and new ventures. We help you hand over day-to-day management to your CEO and executives, so the business can move forward without your constant involvement.

How it works

You retain oversight of goals and results, while your managers make decisions and take responsibility for their areas. We clarify responsibilities, set goals, and establish management meetings, weekly progress sessions, and review processes. We help you prepare to hand over responsibility and your executives prepare to take it on.

These systems help you oversee one business or a portfolio of ventures without having to make every decision yourself.

AI Company Brain

Get the answers you need to run your business without waiting a week for a report. Check managers' explanations against the underlying data and decide where to intervene.

How it works

Business performance is slipping. Your CEO says the market has changed. Is that the whole story? What's happening with individual customers? Why are they buying less? What were they offered, and what did they agree to?

AI Company Brain connects to your business data, customer conversations, meetings, and past decisions. Ask a question, then follow up: from a company-wide metric to an individual customer and what was actually said to them.

You can form your own view of what's happening, backed by the evidence. Discuss it with your managers, check their explanations, and agree on what needs to change. When another question comes up, you can investigate it straight away.

We start with the business questions you struggle to answer. We identify and connect the relevant data, then check whether the system can give you the answers you need.

AI agents and business transformation

Serve more customers without a proportional increase in headcount and costs. We help you delegate work to AI agents and build a growth strategy that takes advantage of what they can do.

How it works

AI transformation is about how you design your business strategy. At some point, you reach a growth constraint that hiring more people won't resolve. AI can help you get past it.

We help you identify which work needs to scale and how AI agents can take it on. That opens up growth opportunities your current way of operating can't support.

Eugene Kalinin

I'm a growth coach. I help entrepreneurs grow their businesses, put their management teams in charge, step back from day-to-day operations, or make an exit and start something even bigger. I've helped build one unicorn, supported several exits worth millions and tens of millions of dollars, and helped launch several accelerators.

I also run Growth Tracking School, where I teach the method to consultants, coaches, entrepreneurs, and investors. I've trained more than 1,000 people.

People sometimes call me the “father of Growth Tracking”. I'm actually the father of a wonderful girl called Marta.

I live in Lisbon. In the evenings, I like walking down from home to the river and then along to the bridge. If you are in the area, drop me a line.

A diagnostic session takes about two hours. We discuss your goals, how the business is doing, what's holding you back, and what you've already tried.

You leave with a clear understanding of the main bottleneck, a way forward, and specific tasks for the coming week. You can then decide whether you'd like to keep working together.
