The result? 36 qualified meetings booked and a 650% ROI, achieved without adding headcount.
About the client

Challenges the client faced
Unpredictable revenue flow. Reliance on referrals and inbound meant deal flow varied widely.
No outbound foundation. U1CORE lacked a system to target and engage enterprise buyers consistently.
Cost of scaling in-house. Hiring SDRs or building an internal sales process would add overhead and reduce agility.
This left the CEO spending too much time on business development, rather than focusing on design leadership and client delivery.
Why they chose Startupr
U1CORE evaluated building internally vs. outsourcing but chose Startupr for:
Performance-driven pricing. Pay-per-meeting model guaranteed ROI.
Speed. Campaigns were live and delivering results in weeks, not quarters.
Expertise. Startupr’s outbound systems matched U1CORE’s need for global reach and precision targeting.
“Startupr gave us the ability to scale our pipeline without scaling our headcount. Instead of hiring and training a sales team, we focused on closing deals.”
— Taras, Founder & CEO, U1CORE
