Who we work with
Built for D2C founders.
We're sharpest when there's a real product, real customers, and a founder with their hands on the wheel. If that's you, we're built for you.
01
Direct-to-consumer
D2C brands selling to consumers, anywhere in the world. Sharpest across health, beauty, apparel, food, home and pet. Time zone is no obstacle — our team is globally distributed.
02
$100K – $5MM revenue
Past zero-to-one. Past product-market fit. The stage where channel mix, unit economics and AI discoverability start to define whether you scale or stall.
03
Shopify or offline retail
D2C on Shopify (or Shopify Plus), or offline D2C running their own retail. We cover both end-to-end — same engagement model, same senior team.
04
Founder-led
You can pick up the phone, make a decision, and ship by Friday. We work fastest with companies that haven't built layers of approval yet.
Not sure if you fit?
Book a free 60-minute growth audit. We'll dig into your funnel, surface the three biggest leaks, and tell you honestly whether we're the right partner — or someone else is.

Diksha Agarwal
Chief Growth Partner — International Markets
Twelve years across consumer brands and SaaS, leading Forverd's international practice. Deep experience launching D2C brands into new markets — the GTM playbook, the regulatory checklist, the ad accounts, the lifecycle setup. Works fluently across Americas, EMEA and APAC time zones.
Forverd exists because most D2C founders don't need another consultant — they need a team that can actually ship. We sit between strategy and execution, owning the metrics that matter and moving as fast as your business demands.
01
Doers, not consultants
We don't just advise — we execute, optimise, and scale. Strategy is the first 10%; the other 90% is craft, iteration, and reps.
02
Senior bench, no offshoring of judgement
The senior people you meet in the pitch are the ones doing the work. Operators trained at IITs, NITs, BITS — and the venture-backed companies you've heard of.

Frequently asked
The honest answers.
Most of what D2C founders ask before they get on a call. Don't see your question? Email growth@forverd.com.
What is the free growth audit?
A 60-minute working session, no charge, no commitment. We review your funnel, ad accounts, analytics and AEO visibility live. You leave with a 1-page diagnostic naming the top 3 revenue leaks in your business — ranked by effort and impact. If we're not the right partner for you, we'll say so.
What's the difference between the 90-Day Sprint and the Full Growth Engine?
The 90-Day Sprint ($4,500/month, 90-day commitment) focuses on one paid channel and one automation workflow — designed to prove a single growth motion before scaling. The Full Growth Engine ($12,000/month, 6-month minimum) is a fractional growth team running everything: cross-channel paid, lifecycle, AEO, BI dashboards, and a senior operator embedded in your business. Most founders start on the Sprint and move up.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and why does it matter?
AEO is the practice of getting your brand cited inside AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity — and Google's AI Overviews. Buyers increasingly start their vendor research inside these tools, not just on traditional search. AEO touches structured data, content depth, citation-worthy data, brand entity establishment, and conversational long-tail content. It is to 2026 what SEO was to 2010 — and most D2C brands aren't doing it yet.
Who do you work with?
D2C brands between $100K and $5MM in annual revenue, anywhere in the world. Both Shopify D2C and offline D2C (own-retail) brands. Founder-led, post-product-market-fit. We're sharpest in health, beauty, apparel, food, home and pet — but the playbook applies broadly. We currently run engagements across the Americas, EMEA and APAC.
Do you work with brands under $100K in revenue?
Occasionally — pre-launch brands with strong founder-fit and clear positioning, like Lumora (see case studies). But our 90-Day Sprint pricing is built for $100K+. Below that, we usually point founders to community resources and check back in once they have early traction.
Where are you based?
We're a globally distributed team. Anuj leads from India; Diksha leads our international practice across the Americas and EMEA. We've intentionally kept the team small and senior so you don't get bounced between offshore juniors. Whichever time zone you're in, your senior point of contact aligns with yours.
How fast can we start?
From audit to kickoff is typically two weeks. Free audit this week, scoped proposal within 48 hours, contract and kickoff the following week. We onboard one new engagement per month — when our calendar's full, we say so honestly and put you on the next slot.
What if we already have an in-house marketer or another agency?
That's fine. We work alongside in-house teams and other agencies all the time — we're often brought in specifically for AEO, automation or BI where the existing team doesn't have the bandwidth. The free audit is the easiest way to figure out whether we'd add or duplicate.
Which tools and platforms do you cover?
Shopify & Shopify Plus, lifecycle email/SMS platforms, Meta (Facebook + Instagram), Google (Search, YouTube, PMax), TikTok Ads, Amazon Ads, GA4, GTM, Triple Whale, Northbeam, dbt, BigQuery, Looker, Hubspot. For AEO: schema.org structured data, llms.txt, FAQ schema, citation-engineered content. We're channel-agnostic — we go where your customers are.
Let’s move forward.
60 minutes. No deck. We'll dig into your funnel, audit your AEO visibility, and show you exactly where the next 30% of revenue is hiding. Free.
