Since March 2021 — before the category had a name

Origin Story

We got tired of watching great teams do work that machines should handle.

FrontPipe was founded in March 2021 by Bob Clary, a four-time founder who has built and scaled fourteen Inc. 5000 companies. The pattern was always the same: sales teams that were great at closing kept getting pulled off the phone to prospect. SDRs burned out. Pipeline stayed thin. Marketing budgets disappeared into channels that no longer worked. And the smartest people on the team spent their days copying data between tools.

AI changed the math. A small system can now do the work of a six-person SDR team — better, cheaper, and around the clock. Buyers stopped Googling and started asking ChatGPT. The agencies built for the old web couldn't see what was happening. FrontPipe was built for the new one.

We design AI growth systems that fill the calendar, make our clients the source AI tools cite, and give teams back the hours that matter most. We back the SDR work with a guarantee: 20 qualified meetings in 90 days — and we don't stop until you have them. Operators built this for operators.

March 2021

FrontPipe founded in Syracuse, NY

Before "AI agency" was a category. Before the market knew what to call this.

2021–2024

14× Inc. 5000 appearances

The same playbook deployed across financial services, professional services, B2B tech, and SMBs.

2025–2026

Two-tier brand: Pilot + Foundations

Same methodology, two entry points — enterprise B2B and growing SMBs. Denver and Toronto offices added.

Today

5+ years. Still the only guarantee in the room.

20 meetings in 90 days — or we don't stop until you have them. No other AI agency backs it like this.

The Team

Specialists, not generalists.

Not one person with a deck. A team assembled around a single goal — more qualified pipeline for your business.

Pipeline Architects

SDR strategists who have built outbound programs for hundreds of B2B clients across financial services, tech, and professional services.

LLM & SEO Engineers

Technical SEO specialists who understand how LLMs consume and cite content — and how to build authority in both Google and generative AI simultaneously.

AI Automation Builders

Workflow engineers who build custom AI agents, CRM integrations, and automation systems using Clay, n8n, Make, and proprietary tooling.

Data & Analytics

Analysts who build the dashboards, attribution models, and reporting systems that show exactly what's working and where to invest next.

Vertical Strategists

Industry specialists in financial services, law, accounting, and B2B tech — who know the compliance constraints and buyer behavior unique to each vertical.

Growth Operators

Generalists who have run marketing and sales at Inc. 5000 companies — and know how to translate strategy into pipeline results that show up in your CRM.

By The Numbers

Five years. The results.

Our Values

How we work.

Results before relationships

We earn trust by delivering pipeline, not by having good meetings. Every engagement starts with a 90-day trial because we are that confident in the system.

Humans amplified, never replaced

Every AI system we build makes your team more effective. Strategy, relationships, and judgment stay human. Everything else goes to AI.

Operators, not theorists

We have run the campaigns, managed the SDR teams, and built the growth engines ourselves. We know what works because we have done it — 14 times on the Inc. 5000.

Transparent by default

You see every metric, every conversion, every optimization. Dashboards that show exactly what the AI is doing and what it is returning on your investment.

We build into your business, not onto a clean slate

You don't write the spec. We learn how your work actually runs — your tools, your process, your exceptions — and build the system into it. No generic workflows bolted on top of a business they were never shaped to fit. That's why what we build fits, and why it sticks.

The Collective

Operators who have done it themselves.

FrontPipe isn't staffed by marketers who read about growth. Every person on the team has built, scaled, or operated a business using the same systems we build for clients.

That's not a credential. It's a different kind of accountability — when we recommend a system, we've run it ourselves.

Inc. 5000 appearances across the founder portfolio — built and scaled by the same team that runs your system

30%

Annualized growth for 4 straight years at our most referenced client — the kind of result that doesn't happen from a single tactic
