Max’s Team
Agency - In mid 2024, a handful of advertisers in MarketingMax’s newsletters said “Hey, you are really good at getting your newsletter subscribers to become our customers… Can we pay you to build us a newsletter, and use your proprietary newsletter lead generation strategies to convert subscribers of our own newsletter, into our customers?” … Fast forward to today; the exact team that writes, grows & monetizes the MarketingMax newsletters now does so for 50+ B2B brands, including billion-dollar companies like SmartAsset, by actively growing, writing, & monetizing their owned media marketing channel (a newsletter), leading to 10X more Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) than any other strategy.

Saving companies upwards of $15,000+ a year in software costs when compared to Hubspot or similar small to mid-size market CRMs.

KeepMore.co
Software - Once our portfolio of businesses began hitting the 7-figure annual revenue mark, we realized our companies are spending 3.5% of all revenue, just to process credit cards. It might seem small, but for every $1m in annual revenue, that’s $30,000+ a year paid to Stripe, totaling more than 6 figures a year across our portfolio. Keepmore.co is a Stripe-approved third-party app that wraps around your existing Stripe invoices & subscsriptions, giving your customers the option to:
1) Pay via ACH transfer without a fee
or
2) Pay a small convenience fee (which is currently legal in 48 states) to pay with a credit card.
If someone decides to pay with a credit card, we add the Stripe credit card processing fee & an additional 1% as our compensation for enabling this cost savings to the business. Saving tens of millions of dollars a year across all our users.

Succesful Exits
Hell’s Creative
Agency - Founded in 2016 as one of the first performance ad agencies in the United States, Hell’s Creative grew to become a globally recognized, 7 figure ad agency with more than 100 clients and offices in 4 countries. HC’s ad campaigns won awards beating out IBM Watson & MediaCom for their inventive ad creative optimization strategies. Clients included everyone from household names like BareBurger & Sprint Mobile to cult followed e-commerce brands like Bordelle (lingerie Beyoncé wears in her music videos) and Bling2o (the largest novelty children’s swimwear brand). We sold the business to a small private equity firm in Florida right at the tail end of the the pandemic e-commerce bubble.
B2B Heaven
Data As A Service - Influencer marketing is a $250 billion a year Market. The problem? 99% of that goes towards influencers to promote consumer products. The opportunity for B2B brands to invest in B2B influencers (like MarketingMax) is a huge missed opportunity by everyone who sells to businesses. So we created the largest database of B2B influencers in the world, got hundreds of B2B brands to pay for access to the database, and sold the business.
Unlimited UGC
Database - E-commerce brands spend tens of millions of dollars a year on content creators who have no followers (not influencers) to create selfie videos for their brand’s social content & social media ads. But finding an experienced Content Creator is really challenging because of how many unprofessional, and frankly bad, creators there are in the market! So we created the largest database of vetted UGC Content Creators in the world. With easy searching and filtering capabilities, this database turns a long and stressful process into a 60-second search! After a successful launch, we sold the biz.
