Meet the team, the mission, and the mindset behind Firestarter—built to empower solo entrepreneurs and marketing partners alike.

The People Behind the Platform

You didn’t start your business to become a marketer. That is why we are here. You handle what you Love and we handle the marketing.

We wanted to build something that matters—to help people who are putting it all on the line to build their dream.

It all started when Kurt, a small business owner, asked for help. His business, Ride & Joy, was down 25%. He was exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing everything himself—except the one thing that could turn it around: marketing.

So Jeff, our co-founder, rolled up his sleeves. He used a mix of AI, strategy, and hands-on experience to rebuild Kurt’s marketing from the ground up. Website changes. Campaign clarity. Automation. Within months, Ride & Joy’s sales were up 35%. But more importantly, Kurt got his time—and confidence—back.

That wasn’t a one-off. That was the moment.
We’ve all run small businesses. We’ve worn all the hats. We know what it’s like to get stuck in the weeds and watch marketing fall off the list. Not because you don’t care—but because you’re too busy doing what you love. So we built Firestarter for people like Kurt—and like you.

People who aren’t chasing billion-dollar valuations.
People who are building a business to build a life.
People who care deeply, hustle daily, and just need the right partner to help them grow. With over 100 years of combined experience in marketing, sales, and product development, we created Firestarter to offer what most agencies don’t:

A real plan, built for you
Clear, customized execution
And a system that works while you work

We’re not just here to automate tasks. We’re here to earn your trust—to act like the CMO you didn’t think you could hire. And yes, we’re building this with you. Not just for you.

Because we believe the backbone of the economy isn’t built in boardrooms.
It’s built in home offices, garages, and coffee shops by people who refuse to settle.

If that’s you, welcome.

If you want to be part of our broader mission—helping even more small businesses—you can partner with us through our affiliate program. It’s not just about referrals. It’s about creating momentum together.
