What Fiat Growth does

Fiat Growth is a privately held growth marketing consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco. It positions itself not as a traditional agency but as an outsourced in-house growth team for emerging brands, delivering senior-only execution across go-to-market strategy, paid media, affiliate and influencer marketing, strategic partnerships, and marketing technology. Its client base is heavily weighted toward US consumer fintech — including Chime, Root, Brigit, Lili, Greenwood, Bestow, Copper, and Breeze — with selected engagements in e-commerce (Good Eggs), real-estate marketplaces (Sundae), and Fortune 500 teams. Public case-study outcomes include $1.6B+ in cumulative new revenue generated for 85+ brands since founding, with specific wins such as Greenwood amassing 500,000 waitlist users at a $1.97 blended CAC and Lili scaling acquisition spend from $20K/month to roughly $2M over 1.5 years.

The firm operates a multi-entity Fiat ecosystem: Fiat Growth provides consulting services, Fiat Ventures deploys capital alongside those services, and Fiat Finance and Fiat Advisors extend the platform into finance and advisory offerings. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements (retainers and project-based work) priced on a consultative, quote-based basis — no public pricing tiers exist. Go-to-market is sales-led and selective — the firm publicly states it is "picky about who we work with" — supplemented by client referrals, the Fiat Ventures portfolio pipeline, content marketing (fintech trend reports), social media presence, and the upcoming FTW: San Francisco summit co-hosted with Fintech Is Femme. The core technology is human expertise rather than a software platform; there are no API, SDK, or proprietary product offerings, and the firm does not disclose funding, revenue, or financial metrics.

The 11-50-person team is led by Founding Partners Drew Glover and Alex Harris, President and Managing Partner Victor Colombo, Managing Partner Gerard Fane, and Marcos Fernandez (Managing Partner of Fiat Ventures and VP of GTM Strategy), supported by SVPs, Directors, and Heads across performance, partnerships, influencer, creative, analytics, SEO/GEO, media, ecosystem, talent, and AI functions. The firm was recognized as an Inc. Best Workplace in 2023.
