About

Make AI-native growth the standard for every business.

A portfolio of AI-native companies that accelerate how businesses grow, operate, and compete. From mid-market to Fortune 500.

The Founder

Jason Hauer

Jason Hauer founded HauerX to buy and build AI-native growth companies.

Some spot consumer trends 18 months before they surface in traditional data. Others build autonomous marketing systems for B2B companies, run AI transformation programs for the Fortune 500, or build AI governance infrastructure for banks and insurers.

Three of the companies were built in-house. Serial Growth Engine installs AI-native growth engines that get B2B companies found, believed, and chosen by enterprise buyers. Serial Growth Lab publishes the portfolio’s research and the Tuesday Growth Brief. HauerX Ventures incubates consumer brands, using the same growth capabilities the portfolio deploys for clients.

Before HauerX, he helped build The Garage Group into an Inc. 500 innovation consultancy that worked with 350+ brands, and exited in 2021.

He also works with companies directly through three operating vehicles. Serial Growth Engine builds AI-native growth engines for B2B companies selling into the Fortune 500. Serial Growth Lab helps enterprise leaders understand what AI-native growth looks like and implement the strategy to get there. HauerX Ventures builds consumer brands the portfolio owns, using the same growth capabilities deployed for clients.

Before HauerX, he co-founded The Garage Group, an Inc. 500 innovation consultancy that worked with 350+ brands. He built it, scaled it, and exited in 2021.

The pattern keeps repeating: the bottleneck isn't AI. It's that most companies are trying to use AI inside operating models that were built before AI was even on the table. Same leadership habits. Same growth playbooks. Same operating assumptions. The companies getting real leverage aren't the ones with the best tools. They're the ones willing to rework how they operate.

That's what HauerX is built for.

Philosophy

The HauerX Holdings Philosophy

Proof, Not Potential

Every company must produce evidence, not just potential. If it's not installed and producing results, it's not real.

Compounding Beats Campaigns

Most companies treat growth like campaigns. AI-native companies install systems that get stronger every time you use them.

Speed to Signal, Speed to Execution

The companies winning see what's coming months earlier and get to execution before the window closes. Speed is the advantage.
