“GrowthMentor supports every facet of my startup, from growth and technical aspects to sales.”

Tell us something about yourself and what you are currently working on.

I’m the solo founder of Heartbeat Energy, a new SAAS company. We’re working on a tool to help UK homes and businesses lower their energy bills.

I talk to business managers and homeowners about how we can support them, especially those using renewable energy. Our goal is to make saving energy easy and practical for everyone.

Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?

I actually looked up quite a few websites that could possibly offer the same things as Growth Mentor but it was wildly expensive per person and I didn’t know if the quality for such a high price was worth it.
