Product to Pipeline
Design and engineering for teams that don’t want to explain the problem twice.
Every stage has a wall
Through or over, we’re going.
From entrepreneurs to global enterprises, we’re here to make you and your ideas look great and sell through thick and thin. Recognizing when and how is the fun part.
Inflection points require focus, care, and stamina.
Startups & SMBs
Big ideas and lean teams. We bring the digital muscle so you can focus on what you do best.
Growth Stage
Post-funding or hitting stride. PMF is real, and complexity is exploding. Your team is maxed. Bring focused firepower on demand.
Enterprise
High-stakes initiatives need dedicated attention: launch, migration, promote. You need capability that integrates like internal staff without the politics.
The work
People
Leaders want visibility and momentum. Your team sees the labyrinth. We close that gap by aligning tools to how people actually work, not the other way around.
Surfaces
Sites, apps, demos, decks, release notes, sms, t-shirts, everything. Designed and built to earn confidence and adoption. The kind of work that makes your team proud to send.
Plumbing
Data, automations, workflows, asset pipelines. If it needs a workaround, it’s a liability. Good plumbing is invisible. We build the kind you forget is there.
Cadence
Continuous positive effort builds stamina. Sprints have their place, but a consistent forward rhythm develops stable momentum. And room for sprints.
When to reach out
I just need this to look good.
It might be small, but it’s important. Maybe it’s an RFP. Or a small web app. The website is dated. Email templates break in Outlook. We can relate. And help.
This needs to be awesome. Yesterday.
A funding round is quietly brewing. Or a launch. A major prospect is about to see the website. Things look and sound… off. Too many rough edges. You need to level up fast.
Our stack is expensive and arcane.
Costs climbing, workarounds everywhere. Your team hesitates to make big moves. Does the tech actually work for you? That’s the only question that matters.
This has been broken for months.
The lifecycle logic fires wrong. Sketchy product demos. The form triggering security warnings. The page builder only developers use. Everyone knows. But who has time?
What got us here won’t get us there.
What worked at $5M is fragmenting at $60M. We help you evolve beyond the hustle by building sustainable systems to build momentum at scale.
Your tiger team
“Undomesticated and uninhibited technical specialists, selected for their experience, energy, and imagination.”
That’s the NASA definition.
Gravyboat brings decades of experience in design, engineering, and marketing, from startups to enterprises, consumer to B2B. We know how to make your product click, your tools useful, and your team’s work visible in the right ways.
Clients have raised $670M+ in venture capital and reached $2.4B+ in strategic exits to Workday, VMware, and ServiceNow. Relationships average 5–10 years. That’s not contracts—that’s results.
When specialization is required, we bring in trusted collaborators. The work stays tight, senior, and accountable.
Dial scale, not skill.
One of the best creative guys I’ve ever worked with. He just gets it. His work is fresh and original and often made the difference when working on products in super competitive markets. Strongly recommended.
Understanding of the entire life cycle is excellent… he has a way of bringing his team together to work on a project like they own it.
Example engagements
MVP Sprint
Autonomous Membership Engine
A founder-led networking firm needed to convert interest into paying members without drowning in manual work. We built an end-to-end membership system: intelligent applicant screening, automated onboarding with dual verification paths, AI-assisted member profiling from video interviews, and PCI-compliant payments. The platform now handles operations autonomously — scheduling, communications, content delivery — while the founder focuses on the high-touch work that actually grows the business.
GTM Powerhouse
Acquisition-Ready Positioning
An enterprise software company preparing for acquisition had a fragmented product portfolio — each line with its own brand narrative, competing for attention internally and confusing prospects externally. We unified everything under a single positioning framework, rebuilt the visual system, and migrated demand gen to Marketo. The simplified story clarified the value prop for buyers and acquirers alike. They were acquired by a major infrastructure vendor within eighteen months.
SaaS Savings
Infrastructure Overhaul
A growing investment fund was bleeding $2,100/month on brittle SaaS infrastructure that made the team nervous to touch anything. We replaced the stack with Payload CMS, built custom HubSpot attribution to connect ad spend to closed deals, and automated campaign workflows. Monthly burn dropped by 95%, confidence went up, and marketing and sales finally have infrastructure that moves at their pace.
Brand-to-Demand
Category Leadership
A global technology company had acquired multiple point solutions and needed to integrate them into a coherent business unit without losing momentum. We designed a unified product interface, built a visual system that worked across marketing, sales, and product, and shifted strategy from pure lead gen to full-funnel demand generation. The unit went from niche player to recognized category leader — top marks in revenue, analyst recognition, and solution breadth.
I’ve never seen anyone so versatile and practical, which coupled with the keen eye for the market he has, makes him a proactive leader that exudes excitement and great ideas.
A combination of extraordinary vision, creativity, passion, and almost obsessive drive makes Neil a valuable asset to any company of any size. My team’s best creative work came through his leadership and influence.
