OneGreek [Startup]

From just 150 USERS to 300k in 9 months, and acquisition in under one year.

The OneGreek Cinderella startup story started in May of 2015 in Tucson, AZ, when founders Sam Garst and Gavin Glatting, two fraternity brothers and graduates of the University of Arizona, decided to double down on their vision to create a new app targeting the Greek college market.

With limited funding and a need to use their resources wisely, they engaged Go For Vertical to help them create their technology. Three months and $8000 later, they had created and launched the first private social network for the fraternity and sorority system in the US.

These driven founders then scaled the platform to over 300k users in 9 months, joined the Capital Factory accelerator in Austin, TX, and were acquired just three months later, an amazing outcome that every startup aims for, but few accomplish.

While Go For Vertical can’t take credit for oneGreek’s amazing trajectory, our strategic focus on product development and delivering technology releases not only quickly but with hyper-efficiently resource utilization was the catalyst that set the stage for these founders’ run to the top.
