We named the studio
after a footnote.
A short story about a word, and the reason it's on our door.
Side B /sʌɪd biː/
noun.
- 1. The reverse face of a recording where artists historically placed material that didn't fit the obvious commercial format — experiments, alternate takes, the work that ended up mattering more than the hit.
- 2. A useful posture for a revenue team: the place you put the unproven idea, the new motion, the customer segment everyone else ignored.
A different posture for revenue work.
Most revenue consulting sells the safe answer — a benchmark deck, a scaffolded playbook, a model that looks great in a board pack. That's the A-side. It's rarely what moves the number.
SideB exists because the real growth in a payments and revenue org almost always comes from the Side B: the acquirer cost review nobody has time to run, the orchestration vendor playbook gathering dust in procurement, the RevOps lead you can't justify hiring full-time. Unglamorous on paper. Compounding in practice.
We're an AI-first studio by design — modern instrumentation paired with a small, named team that's been on the operator side of those decisions. One strategy, one accountable line of sight from diagnosis to deliverable. Engagements are fixed-scope and fixed-price. If we're not a fit, you still leave with a clearer map of what your revenue motion actually needs.
Four rules we work by.
Operators with deep payments and revenue-stack experience make every call that matters. Tools accelerate the synthesis; judgment owns the recommendation. AI on enterprise tiers, contractually zero-training.
Every recommendation ships with the math behind it — revenue lift, basis points saved, vendor cost delta. We model what your data supports, never more.
Each engagement ends in a tangible, owner-shippable deliverable. Not a deck. Not a memo. A working asset with actionable items.
A named senior operator owns your engagement end-to-end. Trained on the new way of consulting: instrumented, accountable, fast. No handoffs, no B-team after kickoff.
Fintech, Agentic, and RevOps nerds at your fingertips.
70+ years of collective, real-world expertise — decision-makers and problem-solvers who've scaled some of the world's most influential tech, fintech, and global consumer brands. From SMBs in hypergrowth to global enterprise, we have the bench to steer the work.
Scheme program exits, fraud spikes, frozen reserves, vendor renewals you don't trust — we step in fast and own the resolution end-to-end.
Acceptance audits, orchestration reviews, BI-stack rationalization, compliance posture work — we install the guardrails before the next quarter exposes them.
