Frequently asked questions about our audit and consulting
These frequently asked questions cover what Fast Growth Advisors, the Message-Market Fit firm, is asked most often, in nine short answers. What we do, what the messaging audit costs, how long an engagement lasts, and where to start. Our methodology comes from the Message-Market Fit Observatory, where we measured 369 French post-funding startups.
What are the frequently asked questions about Fast Growth Advisors?
Four questions come up before any engagement: who Fast Growth Advisors is, what Message-Market Fit covers, what the Observatory measured and how far our work goes. Each answer stands on its own, so you can go straight to yours.
What is Fast Growth Advisors?
Fast Growth Advisors is the Message-Market Fit firm.
It works with European B2B startups and scale-ups after they raise funding. We measure the clarity of your message, rebuild it with you and guide its deployment. A strategic firm, not an execution agency: your teams produce, we review and validate.
What is Message-Market Fit?
It is the fit between what you say and what your market actually understands.
You reach it when a prospect can say in 30 seconds who you’re for, what problem you solve and what sets you apart. At Fast Growth Advisors, it is measured across 15 criteria scored out of 5, or 75 points: the grid of the detailed audit.
What did the Message-Market Fit Observatory measure?
The messaging clarity of 369 French post-funding startups, in Q2 2026.
In 2026, their average score comes to 5.33 out of 10, and none goes above 8. A startup that has just raised can therefore place itself against its peers rather than against an abstract ideal. The report for this first edition is free, and its data is reusable under a CC BY 4.0 licence.
Do you work outside France?
Yes, across Europe.
Fast Growth Advisors works in French and English, by video call or in person in Paris, and many deliverables are written directly in English, whichever language your market reads. A well-built messaging framework keeps the same structure from one country to the next: only the localisation changes, which lets your teams pitch consistently on every market.
How does an engagement with Fast Growth Advisors work?
An engagement almost always starts with a measurement: the Fast Growth Advisors messaging audit, whose report arrives 48 hours after the interviews. Without a prior audit, the consulting engagement opens with an equivalent measurement phase. We don’t rewrite a message we haven’t measured.
What does the messaging audit include and how much does it cost?
Our messaging audit costs €3,000, all inclusive.
It brings together interviews with your leadership team, analysis across 15 criteria and 5 AI visibility layers, a report with a prioritised action plan, and a debrief. Delivered 48 hours after the interviews, the report is yours, with no further commitment. Your teams can apply the plan without us.
Do you handle execution: campaigns, content, website?
No, by choice.
We stay at the strategic level: audit, recommendations, validation. Fast Growth Advisors writes the hero and the tagline; your teams produce the rest, guided by a precise framework, and we review it. To industrialise content production, our NOMO IA software is built for that: it too starts with a message audit, so that it produces the right thing.
How long does a consulting engagement last?
Repositioning takes 2 days on average, one week at most.
Usable deliverables arrive from week two: framework, a four-sentence Point of View, hero and tagline. Those four sentences say who you are, what you offer, what sets you apart and the value you deliver. Guided deployment comes next, decided phase by phase, depending on what your teams can absorb.
Who works with Fast Growth Advisors, and where should you start?
Two audiences work with Fast Growth Advisors: B2B startups that have a product that works and their first customers, and the investors who fund them. If you are still searching for product-market fit, messaging consulting does not replace that search.
Do you offer something for investors?
Yes, for funds and business angel networks.
The offer combines a portfolio-company audit with a joint startup-investor debrief, a message rebuild, and packaged programmes for networks. For a fund, the messaging of its portfolio companies becomes a measurable asset, one it can track over time rather than judge on instinct. The audit scores it; the rebuild corrects it.
Where should you start with Fast Growth Advisors?
With the free diagnostic, which scores your website in 10 minutes.
It gives a first signal on the clarity of your message, AI citability test included, with no call beforehand. Then comes the full audit if you want the exact measure and the action plan. A first conversation with Fast Growth Advisors is always free: we first check that the problem really is the message.
