About Think Growth

Strategy. Capital. Execution.

Founded in 2014 by Ross Sanner, Think Growth emerged from a simple observation: ambitious companies often stall not from lack of vision, but from gaps in execution, capital access, and scalable systems.

What began as executive advisory has evolved into a different kind of growth partner. One that combines the strategic insight of top-tier consulting with the operational grit of seasoned entrepreneurs. The firm specializes in the messy middle of transformation, where strategy meets reality and plans require constant adaptation.

Today, Think Growth stands apart as both advisor and potential co-investor, offering a rare combination of strategic guidance, hands-on implementation, and when the fit is right, direct capital investment.
