What PainterGrowth.com does

PainterGrowth.com (legal entity: Painter Growth Ventures) is a privately held coaching and consulting platform exclusively serving painting contractors across the United States and Canada. The company is headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with operations spanning 50+ states and provinces, and was founded by Michael Gore-Hickman, who brings 15+ years of direct painting industry experience. Its core offering is a tiered coaching program suite anchored by the proprietary Painter Growth Blueprint — a 5-pillar operating system covering Leads, Sales, Production, Profit, and Leadership — designed to transform owner-dependent painting companies into system-driven, scalable businesses.

The product portfolio includes four high-ticket coaching tiers segmented by client revenue: Blueprint Foundation ($100K-$500K), Momentum Scale Accelerator ($500K-$2M), Mastermind Elite Network ($2M-$5M), and CEO Program Enterprise Builder ($5M+), all delivered through multi-year subscription contracts following a sales-led discovery call funnel. These are complemented by a $97/month Painter Growth School self-paced subscription, a free Pathways Business Assessment at quiz.paintergrowth.com, a weekly podcast with 200+ episodes and 100K+ downloads, an SEO-optimized blog with 5,000+ subscribers, and a branded merchandise e-commerce shop. The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; delivery relies on third-party infrastructure (Squarespace, Calendly, ScoreApp) combined with human coaching staff.

The business model is sales-led and community-driven, with no external funding disclosed. The company monetizes primarily through multi-year high-ticket coaching contracts plus a low-priced recurring subscription layer, supported by content marketing, paid social/search, industry events through an official Painting Contractors Association (PCA) partnership, and PCA Industry Partner of the Year 2026 recognition. The cumulative contractor base of 1,100+ across North America represents the installed market footprint, while the 14-person team, including founder, lead coaches, partnerships, and content production staff, supports program delivery and brand-building at a small organizational scale.
