About Us
Who we are,CROWD Method
The CROWD method was born from the vision of partners Fred Santoro (CEO of Raketo), who sought to address a deep concern after observing companies with high-potential products and services that couldn't master the art of management in the new AI era, and Fernando Fernandes, a successful entrepreneur in the SME sector. In his role as COO, Fernando lives daily the operational pains that could easily be solved with AI Agents, but realized that, for lack of knowledge, plan and method, many partner companies remain stuck in their growth processes.
Our fundamental mission and purpose is to act as the main copilot for entrepreneurs and executives on this journey of business reinvention. In an environment marked by radical uncertainty, the method emerges as a response that unites strategy and speed, turning operational challenges into sustainable competitive advantages and ensuring leaders make decisions based on evidence and executive clarity.
The method is an integrated opportunity-analysis framework structured around five pillars: Community, which focuses on reducing CAC through ecosystems; Reinvent, focused on technological evolution and AI automation; Outsourcing, which seeks operational elasticity and resilience; Wealth, focused on financial efficiency and increasing Revenue Per Employee (RPE); and Distribution, aimed at scale and brand impact. This logic is closed through the Cross-Pillar concept, a lens that orchestrates the interdependency between pillars, preventing isolated department optimization and generating compound growth for the business as a whole.
We invite you to stay relevant and competitive in the market, positioning yourself at the forefront of your business or executive field by becoming a recognized expert in the CROWD method. This is a purposeful invitation to master the tools that let you see the business as a living, efficient system — trading linear effort for the exponential acceleration of value loops.
