Who We Work With
Strong Fit
We work best with AI & ML companies that:
- Have existing pilots, revenue, or clearly validated demand.
- Understand their unit economics, LTV/CAC, and core infrastructure costs.
- Have a clear commercialization or expansion thesis (verticals, geos, or products).
- Are prepared to raise capital compliantly under Reg CF, Reg D 506(c), or Reg A+.
- Want a structured, measurable investor acquisition process instead of ad‑hoc outreach.
Not a Fit
We are not the right partner for:
- Pre‑product concepts with no working model or real validation.
- Campaigns unwilling to follow securities and advertising regulations.
- Founders looking for guaranteed raise amounts or “sell‑out in days” promises.
- Teams chasing cheap clicks instead of serious, qualified investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to raise capital for an AI or machine learning company?
The “best” path depends on your stage, traction, and investor profile. Early‑stage AI products often use Reg CF to activate users and community, growth‑stage platforms lean toward Reg D 506(c) for accredited investors, and scaled platforms use Reg A+ for larger public raises. We design your investor acquisition system around the structure your securities counsel recommends—we are not a broker‑dealer and do not provide legal advice or guarantees.
Can AI & ML companies advertise a fundraising campaign?
Most AI investors expect at least one of the following: validated use cases or pilots, early revenue or paid POCs, or clear technical defensibility with proprietary data or models. You don’t need to be fully scaled, but you do need evidence that your technology works, solves a real problem, and can be monetized. We help you frame existing traction in a way that fits institutional and accredited investor expectations.
How long does investor acquisition take?
Plan on 4–8 weeks to design the strategy, build compliant assets, and launch campaigns, and 3–6 months of active investor acquisition to fully test and scale. Timelines vary by structure—Reg CF is typically faster than Reg A+—and by how prepared your materials and data room are at the start. Our role is to shorten the ramp‑up and optimize performance over the life of the raise.
Do you guarantee fundraising results?
No. We do not guarantee any amount of capital raised or the success of your offering. Growth Turbine is an investor acquisition and offering marketing agency, not a broker‑dealer or placement agent. We provide systems, data, and optimization to drive qualified investor demand, but final outcomes depend on your company, terms, market conditions, and investor decisions.
How much traction do AI investors expect?
Most AI investors expect at least one of the following: validated use cases or pilots, early revenue or paid POCs, or clear technical defensibility with proprietary data or models. You don’t need to be fully scaled, but you do need evidence that your technology works, solves a real problem, and can be monetized. We help you frame existing traction in a way that fits institutional and accredited investor expectations.
