We don't settle for short-term gains

We build responsive growth architecture supported by AI and automation to shorten learning cycles and accelerate teams.

What We Believe

Growth is at an inflection point. AI will fundamentally reshape how companies acquire and retain customers, but most growth teams are still using it transactionally. The real challenge isn't channel saturation, it's being slower and less rigorous than your competition.

Who We Are

Tyler Pennell founded Telltale Labs after running growth and marketing at Grow Therapy, reporting directly to CEO Jake Cooper.

"Tyler transformed our growth function from the ground up. He has a combination of deep analytical rigor, creativity, taste, and consummate integrity"
