Head of Growth · Lisbon, Portugal

Rampas is a growth agency founded by Bernardo Gancho. Works with tech founders between seed and Series A — on strategy, paid acquisition, B2B funnels, and attribution. No deck, no account manager, with the senior team inside the company.

II — Services

Four growth disciplines, integrated under one team.

Rampas operates as a fractional growth department. Four disciplines that usually live in silos — strategy, paid acquisition, funnels and data — worked in parallel, around the same thesis and the same numbers.

I

Growth Strategy & Fractional CMO

GTM built around the next round. Acquisition model, pricing and positioning aligned to the milestone that matters — in ongoing partnerships, with weekly presence as fractional CMO.

  • + End-to-end go-to-market strategy
  • + Pricing frameworks aligned to growth stage
  • + Positioning that survives investor due diligence
  • + Fractional CMO presence on weekly cadence
II

Paid Acquisition & Optimization

Channels with payback that defends a round. Google, Meta, LinkedIn, programmatic — tested and optimized for margin, not volume.

  • + Channel mix (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, programmatic)
  • + Creative tests with hypotheses, not volume
  • + LTV:CAC modeling per segment
  • + Continuous optimization on payback and margin
III

Product-Led & B2B Funnels

Funnels that convert at scale. Self-serve for product-led; clean marketing-to-sales handoff for B2B — with content and automation underneath.

  • + Product-led motions for self-serve adoption
  • + B2B funnels with clean marketing-to-sales handoff
  • + Conversion-focused content systems
  • + Automation that scales touchpoints, not headcount
IV

Data, Attribution & LTV Modeling

Intelligence that links spend to revenue. First-party data, multi-touch attribution and LTV modeling — to decide with numbers, not instincts.

  • + First-party data infrastructure
  • + Defensible multi-touch attribution
  • + LTV/CAC modeling per cohort
  • + Dashboards that connect spend to revenue

III — The bar

The metrics investors watch before Series A.

>110%

NDR

Signals strong product retention and account expansion.

<12 mo

CAC payback

Shows acquisition is efficient and scalable.

3× YoY

Consistent high growth

Demonstrates a repeatable go-to-market engine — not isolated traction.

Manifesto

Series A isn't bought with paid media. It's built on the metrics investors actually read before they sign a term sheet.

IV — What Rampas doesn't do

What you won't find here.

As important as what Rampas does. Four things other agencies sell and Rampas refuses.

01 / NÃO

No vanity metrics.

Focus only on the 5 metrics that weigh on a Series A memo: ARR, growth rate, NDR, CAC payback, gross margin. Everything else is noise.

02 / NÃO

No account manager between us.

You talk to Bernardo. Always. Whoever sits with you is who executes the growth — there's no middle layer.

03 / NÃO

No generic playbooks.

What works in Tier 1 B2B SaaS doesn't work in an early-stage marketplace. Rampas designs the plan for your category, not copies one.

04 / NÃO

No promises without basis.

If a Series A isn't realistic in the engagement window, Rampas says so on the first call. An honest 'no' beats false hope.

V — Method

How Rampas works toward Series A.

  1. I

    Readiness diagnosis

    30 minutes to understand where you are and what's missing for Series A. No fluff — Rampas only takes the engagement if the goal is achievable.

  2. II

    90-day plan

    Audit of metrics and growth levers. A specific plan to close the gap to the round. A report you can use even if the partnership doesn't continue.

  3. III

    Partnership through the round

    Rampas in the team, weekly. Acquisition, activation, retention decisions. Support on the growth narrative when it's time to talk to investors.
