What we offer

More Than a Firm. A Proven Product Engine.

Ongoing Support & Iteration

We stay on as your long-term product team, continuously shipping features and optimizing performance.

Our POV: AI is a Scalpel, Not a Sledgehammer

That’s why our approach starts with your strategy, your people, and your customer experience, then applies AI selectively and responsibly.

We’ve seen AI help clients:

Discover untapped customer segments

Brainstorm campaign ideas and visualize whitespace

Streamline asset trafficking and tag management

Rapidly analyze performance data across channels

But we’ve also seen:

Off-brand content that alienates global audiences

Sales decks that erode trust with inaccurate AI summaries

GPT-wrapped tools with zero contextual relevance

Proven Across Industries and Stages

Successfully launched B2B SaaS platforms and consumer mobile apps

Built AI-powered products fueled by rich datasets

Partnered with venture arms of Fortune 500 companies and top-tier VC firms

Staffed by experienced startup founders and product leaders who’ve done this before

Know Your True Profitability

Beyond Gross Margin:  Introducing Net Contribution Margin

Most dashboards stop at Gross Contribution Margin, product value minus cost. We go further. MGP’s solution uniquely calculates Net Contribution Margin by factoring in the real-world costs that impact profitability at the order level:

Shipping income and expenses

Refund adjustments

Settlement fees and platform commissions

Import duties and taxes

Order-level advertising costs

We allocate these down to the order and line item, so you know not just what sold, but what made money

This gives e-commerce leaders a truer picture of:

Which products and channels are profitable

Where margin is leaking

How operational changes impact financial performance

More Than a Firm. A Proven Product Engine.
