Build. Scale. Advise.

Strategic advisor and proven founder who's grown multiple businesses to 7-figures.

I'm not a business coach. I'm a founder who's been in the trenches. I co-founded Pete's Real Food — the nation's first fresh meal delivery service — and bootstrapped it to $7M. Now I help other founders build the systems, sites, and strategies that actually ship.

About

About Sarah.

Operator first, advisor second, AI-native always. Fifteen years of skin in the game across meal delivery, logistics, consumer goods, and retail.

I'm Sarah Servold, and I've spent 15+ years building businesses from the ground up.

In 2012, I co-founded Pete's Real Food, the nation's first fresh, prepared meal delivery service. I bootstrapped it from a home kitchen to $7M in annual revenue, shipping 10,000 meals per week nationwide with 79% customer retention and 62–65% email open rates.

I acquired Paleo On The Go (81% retention, 7.4 Meta ROAS) and launched and exited a 100-person Amazon DSP logistics business in under 12 months.

My entrepreneurial experience spans industries: meal delivery (Pete's Real Food, Paleo On The Go), luxury goods (Second Crown, pre-owned vintage Rolexes), restaurants (Young Cluck), and premium dog food (Zuel).

Before building my own companies, I spent six years at J. Walter Thompson, managing multi-million dollar campaigns including a $3.4M rebuild of Marines.com. I can think like a big brand strategist and execute like a founder.

What makes me different

I don't just advise — I've actually built businesses similar to the ones I help others create and scale. I know what it feels like to risk everything on an idea, to scale a team from 2 to 30+ people, and to make the tough decisions that determine whether a business thrives or fails.

I combine corporate advertising strategy with entrepreneurial grit and creative storytelling. Whether it's building a Shopify store that converts, crafting email campaigns that actually get opened, or developing a brand strategy that cuts through the noise, I bring both the strategic thinking and hands-on execution that most consultants can't.

Today, I work with founders and business owners who are ready to build something real. No fluff, no coaching clichés — just practical strategy and execution that gets results.

Best practice looks good on a slide. I'm interested in what actually ships.

What clients say

They said nice things.

Unprompted words from founders and clients I've worked with.

"
Sarah came in, pinpointed the few core bottlenecks holding us back, and laid out exactly how to fix them. She combines laser-like focus with real operator chops — fast, decisive, and meticulous. She executes like a ninja while staying warm, collaborative, and genuinely invested; she treated our business as if she owned half of it. Within weeks we had a clear plan, tighter processes, and real momentum.

As a visual artist it meant a lot to work with someone who truly understands how to showcase creative work. Sarah captured the spirit of my paintings beautifully and helped me build a website that feels like an extension of my art. The design is clean, vibrant, and lets each piece shine. I highly recommend Sarah to other artists looking to launch their business or share their art online.

You seriously turned my vision into reality with that website. It's exactly what I imagined — and more! Wow! You are so talented! Thank you!
