Found & Valued helps founders and ambitious businesses validate ideas, build lean systems and reach paying customers faster.

HELLO, MY NAME IS

I understand how easy it is to waste money and time on business ideas.

The biggest secret of the startup industry is that MOST ideas and marketing efforts don’t make any money.

The reason found & valued doesn’t have an Instagram page is because our strategy for onboarding clients has NOTHING to do with social media.

We don’t waste a single second of time on any marketing activity that does not have trackable and significantly beneficial results.

Every strategy we implement for businesses is based on goals, revenue and results.

A NEW APPROACH

3 Steps From Idea to Revenue

Making money has never been easier. A generation ago, you had to write a letter and wait a week for a response. Now the world is fully digital, interconnected and moves at lightning speed.

VALIDATE

Prove people actually want what you’re building before investing heavily.

BUILD

Create the smallest version capable of reaching real customers.

GROW

Refine, automate and scale what works. Get found and valued.

Developing custom platforms, tools and automations to solve the problems, challenges and bottlenecks in your business. Use AI and apis to link your existing systems together, increase performance and free up time for the things that really move the needle for your business.

Digital to Physical

Finding an audience online and bringing them to a physical location. Previous clients include garden centres, art galleries, flooring stores, nightclubs and music events.

Community Building

Connecting like-minded people and bringing them together to create thriving digital and “in real life” communities. Previous projects include web3 discord communities, app-based communities and local interest communities.

GEO & SEO For Competitive Niches

Developing extensive GEO & SEO campaigns for super competitive niches, including crypto, finance and gambling industries where paid adverts are not permitted due to strict regulations.

It has been a great pleasure working with Found & Valued.

We are at a significant juncture in our company’s history, established in 1955 and having grown to look after 1000s of customers per year, we needed to update our digital and marketing strategy.

That’s where we contacted James for his help on this journey.

From the outset, he has listened closely to requirements, and went above and beyond to understand not just our company but the market context and other players in the market in order to develop a higher quality finished product.

James’ communication has been excellent throughout, he works through things methodically and with attention to detail that gave me nothing but confidence the job will be done to a high standard first time.

We are a medium sized business that had outgrown its old processes and outdated website.

Found & Value are helping us to modernise our online presence, raise brand awareness and ultimately get more customers through the door.

Their team went the extra mile with other elements of our strategy such as building a mailing list and developing a mechanism for proactive communications so that we can build an ‘always on’ conversation with our potential and existing customers.

Cannot recommend Found & Valued highly enough.
