Stop outsourcing your pipeline.
Own the relationships.
Automate the work.
I noticed Atlas has launched a financial-services analytics practice. The new pages sit outside the main industry structure, so buyers searching by sector may miss them.
We help B2B consultancies build search architecture around new verticals. Worth sharing the gap we spotted?
Illustrative preview. Every initial message is approved by you before it sends.
Acquire gives founder-led B2B service firms a consistent process for finding, researching, contacting and following up with the right prospects.
You own the data, inboxes and relationships. QFD maintains the automation.
Six-week implementation starting 19 October 2026.
Applications close 9 October or when all five places are filled.
Referral-led growth works until it doesn't.
Referrals may have built your business. But they cannot tell you where the next client is coming from, support a growth target or replace an anchor client when they leave.
Outsourced lead-generation agencies offer volume, but rarely understand a complex service well enough to represent it properly.
So new business remains the founder's problem, squeezed between delivery, team management and everything else.
You cannot control when the next introduction arrives.
Sales only happens when the founder finds time to do it.
The lists, systems and relationships often sit with an external provider.
Acquire builds the operating layer between choosing a market and closing the deal.
Acquire learns your offer, ideal customer, proof, positioning and voice.
The system identifies suitable companies and relevant decision-makers.
Each account is researched before a message is written. Acquire identifies why the company fits, relevant commercial signals and a credible reason to start a conversation.
Review a short daily queue of AI-researched accounts, see why each company fits and approve the initial message from one dashboard. Once approved, Acquire manages the pre-approved follow-up sequence automatically. Any reply pauses outreach to the entire company.
Acquire manages follow-ups, classifies replies, prepares meeting briefs and keeps every opportunity moving.
Acquire prepares the work.
You retain the judgement, relationships and responsibility for closing.
Your new-business work, in one place.
Illustrative interface. Figures shown are examples, not results.
Not another lead-generation service.
You rent someone else's lists, process and outreach team.
You receive information and are left to implement it yourself.
You receive software, but still have to research accounts, write messages and manage the pipeline.
A working new-business operating system is configured around your company, launched with real prospects and maintained by QFD.
From ad hoc new business to a live operating process in six weeks.
Define the offer, ICP, proof and messaging boundaries.
Build the account criteria and initial target market.
Train the business context, research workflow, messaging and approvals.
Approve and launch the first live accounts.
Test follow-ups, replies, exceptions and opportunity routing.
Finalise the dashboard, responsibilities and weekly routine.
A functioning system, not a strategy document.
Built for established firms at a founder-led growth ceiling.
- South African digital, performance, SEO, CRO, analytics and specialist technology firms
- Teams of approximately 2 to 10 people
- Businesses that still depend heavily on referrals and founder-led sales
- Firms with a proven specialist offer
- Founders who have personally closed at least five similar clients
- Firms whose typical client relationship is worth at least R150,000 over 12 months
Firms with client values above R250,000 are the strongest commercial fit, but this is not a hard requirement for the founding cohort.
- Businesses without a proven offer
- Founders looking to avoid sales completely
- Companies with less than 60 days of cash runway
- Low-value, high-volume services
- Firms unable to provide proof or case studies
- Anyone expecting guaranteed appointments or revenue
Expect four to five hours of focused work during Weeks 1 and 2. Once Acquire is configured, most activity happens through a short daily approval queue and a weekly review of replies and opportunities. Total ongoing commitment is approximately two hours per week.

Your system will launch.
If you complete the required inputs and approvals but your campaign is not operational by the end of Week 6, QFD will continue the implementation at no additional cost until the first campaign launches.
The guarantee applies to system implementation and launch. It does not guarantee a particular number of replies, meetings, clients or revenue.
Your relationships remain yours.

- Correspondence and campaign results
- Your offer and ICP information
- Approved messaging
- Your Business Context Pack
- Automation logic
- System prompts
- Agent configuration
- Workflow templates
- Acquire schemas
Your Acquire OS subscription licenses the functioning automation. If you leave, your data and Business Context Pack remain portable. QFD's automation and agent configuration remain QFD intellectual property.
Built by an operator, not an appointment-setting agency.
Acquire is led by Aubrey Turner, founder of Quantumflux Digital and an acquisition leader with more than 15 years of experience across agency, consulting and in-house growth roles.
It is being built from the practical systems required to run new business consistently, without adding a full internal sales team.

No. Acquire guarantees that the agreed system will be configured and launched. Market response and sales outcomes depend on your offer, targeting, reputation and ability to close.
You approve every contact's initial outreach before it sends. Follow-ups use the sequence approved during implementation and run automatically unless the prospect replies, unsubscribes or bounces.
No. You approve the initial outreach and follow-up strategy during implementation. Acquire then manages the pre-approved follow-up sequence automatically. If anyone replies, unsubscribes or bounces, outreach pauses immediately for the entire company.
Outreach to the entire company pauses. Acquire classifies the reply, prepares a recommended response, updates the opportunity and creates the appropriate next action for your approval.
No. Acquire handles research, preparation, follow-up and pipeline administration. You remain responsible for relationships, discovery calls and closing.
Each founding firm receives a protected category based on its primary service offering and target market. Before confirming a place, QFD checks whether another accepted firm competes for materially the same work from the same buyers. If there is meaningful overlap, the later application is waitlisted. For example, the cohort would include only one pure-play SEO agency or one HubSpot implementation consultancy targeting the same market.
Yes. These services operate within QFD's infrastructure and are included in the Acquire OS subscription, subject to the monthly account and contact limits.
Acquire OS continues running and maintaining the research, approval, follow-up and opportunity workflows. The initial OS commitment is three months from Week 7.
Your contacts, correspondence, results and Business Context Pack remain yours. QFD's automation logic, system prompts and agent configuration remain QFD intellectual property.
