About Evan Knox

I help at-scale companies shift from AI-absent to AI-native — setting and executing AI growth strategy at startup speed.Most AI consulting is 200-slide decks and 12-month roadmaps. I ship working systems. Strategy, transformation, and engineering bundled into one embedded operator.I\'ve built, scaled, and exited five ventures across SaaS, eCommerce, and services — from founding Caffeine Marketing (acquired 2025) to co-founding Homegrown, an online farmers-market SaaS, to leading growth for portfolio companies through Tactos. Five exits means I\'ve been the buyer, not just sold to one.How I workStrategy. The 90-day AI growth plan that replaces a $500K McKinsey engagement.Transformation. Shifting teams from AI-absent to AI-native without blowing up existing workflows.Systems Engineering. Shipping the AI systems (not decks) that run with me and stay after I\'m gone.Proof points— Shipped 72 AI growth systems across portfolio companies in the last 12 months— Sold Caffeine Marketing after building a repeatable growth operating system for 100+ clients— Co-founded Homegrown — 600+ vendors in six weeks at $6.70 CAC through an AI-native outbound engine.How I operate— Impact, not 200-slide decks— If it can\'t be repeated or measured, it\'s not a strategy— No long-term contracts. 90-day sprint, then month-to-month. If it\'s working, you\'ll stay— Teams learn to see problems as systems, not fires.NowI partner with at-scale companies as their embedded AI growth operator — setting strategy, shipping systems, and lifting the numbers that compound.
