Your Growth Brain
on Call
Bring me the growth problem that's stuck. I think it through before we meet, we work on it together, and you keep the summary and the recording.
How a session works
Bespoke work on your problem. I think about it before we ever talk.
- 1
A free call to clarify
You can always start with a free 30-minute call. We find out together whether I'm the right person for your problem – no charge, no obligation.
- 2
You send me the context
Numbers, links, the deck, what you've already tried. The more I know before we meet, the more of our time goes into solving it.
- 3
I prepare everything
Before we meet I work through your problem: research, options and a first answer. We start where most calls end.
- 4
One 60-minute call in my calendar
Each session puts one diamond in your wallet, and one diamond books one 60-minute call with me, whenever it suits you.
- 5
A summary and the recording
Afterwards you get a written summary of what we decided and the recording, so you and your team can act on it.
What You Actually Get
This isn't a coaching package – it's direct access to a growth operator who's been in your position.
15 Years of Founder Experience
Ben has founded multiple startups, led teams of up to 30 people, and solved the exact problems you're facing now. Not theory – lived experience you can tap into directly.
Concrete Problem Solving
CRM setup, campaign optimization, funnel strategy, revenue planning, team structure – real problems get real solutions. No generic frameworks, no recycled advice.
Flexible to Your Stage
From one session on one problem, to several in a row, to ongoing sprints for your whole team arranged by proposal. Take what your business needs right now.
Prepared Before We Meet
You send the context, Ben works through it before the call, and you keep the summary and the recording. No surface-level advice. No fluff. Just high-leverage work.
Growth Marketing + Tech
Rare combination: deep growth marketing expertise with technical implementation skills. Ben bridges the gap between strategy and execution.
For Teams and Companies
Bring your team. Ongoing sprints for teams and companies are arranged by proposal – rhythm, scope and price shaped around what you need to move.
Who's Driving This Ship
Why the person behind this program matters.
I'm Ben – and before I started Pirate Skills, I spent over a decade building companies from the ground up. I founded three startups, scaled teams to 30 people, and ran every growth function you can imagine: marketing, sales, product, hiring.
The most valuable thing I learned? Most founders are one conversation away from unlocking their next stage. Not a course. Not a framework. An honest conversation with someone who's been there.
“I've made every expensive mistake in the book so you don't have to.”
Today I work directly with founders and marketers through Captain on Deck – bringing that same combination of strategic thinking and hands-on execution I used to build my own businesses, now focused entirely on yours.
I'm also obsessed with the intersection of AI and growth. I ship every week through Pirate Skills, run live labs and forges for our community, and share everything I learn in Captain's Insights – my weekly deep-dives on growth strategy. The people I work with 1-on-1 get all of this context applied directly to their situation.
This isn't a coaching package. This is a working relationship with someone who gives a damn about your results.

Why Now Matters
This isn't artificial scarcity. It's the reality of working directly with one person.
Limited weekly slots available
Because Captain on Deck is direct 1-on-1 access to Ben, slots fill up based on real availability. If you've been thinking about it – now is the time.
Every Week Without a Clear Plan
Your competitors are moving. Every week without a clear growth strategy is a week they compound their advantage. A single session can give you that clarity.
This Is Personal Capacity
Captain on Deck isn't a team of coaches or a platform. It's direct access to Ben – which means availability is genuinely limited. There are only so many hours in a week.
The Cost of the Wrong Decision
One misguided hire, one bloated ad campaign, one wrong product pivot. A session that gets that decision right is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
You don't need to commit to a full program. A single session is enough to unstick your biggest challenge and give you the next 90 days of direction.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
One session for one problem, or several at once. Bring your team when you're ready.

- Hands-on technical + marketing implementation support
- Async support between sessions + session recordings

The Captain's Promise
by Ben Sufiani
If you didn't get real value from our session, I will refund you – no questions asked. I stand behind the quality of every session. Even if you just need better clarity, that's worth the call.
Not sure yet?
Start with a free call. We'll find out whether I can solve your problem before you buy anything.
Each session is booked in the Lab after purchase, with the diamond it puts in your wallet. Sprints for teams are scoped and priced in a written proposal. All prices exclude VAT where applicable.
