WHAT IS UPRYZE?
Upryze was built to be the growth partner that most contractors are missing. We don't operate like a typical agency where you are just another account number. Instead, we act as the dedicated growth arm of your company. We exist to build the digital systems that you simply don’t have time to manage yourself. Our role is straightforward: You handle the operations and the crews; we handle the strategy and the outreach. We are the silent engine running in the background, ensuring that while you are focused on the job site today, there is a steady stream of high-value work lined up for tomorrow.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I’m Nate, born and raised in Florida, and someone who’s been chasing big ideas from a young age.
Growing up, my parents ran a small mechanic shop that was doing great… until things took a turn. They relied mostly on word of mouth and a few posts on social media. When their customer flow started dropping, they didn’t have the right marketing in place to keep things alive. They ended up having to file for bankruptcy and shut down the whole business. Watching them struggle, and eventually lose the business, stuck with me.
Years later, in 2022, I started diving into the world of online business. Dropshipping was everywhere, so I gave it a shot. I built my own website, sold products from third parties, and tried to make it work through referrals. It taught me a lot, mostly that maintaining a business without a real strategy is tough.
By 2023, I tried my hand at trading. I studied everything I could: strategies, charts, candles, but ended up realizing that it wasn’t for me. It was too unstable, and I didn’t have the resources to keep up.
Then in early 2024, I stumbled into marketing. And for the first time, it clicked. I saw how powerful it was, how the right marketing could’ve saved businesses like my parents’. That realization became my drive.
Fast-forward to present day I’m building my path as a marketer and entrepreneur, helping businesses grow and connect with their audience the right way. I’m learning every day, step by step. And if you’re reading this, maybe your journey’s just getting started too.
MISSION & VISION
The Mission:
Most local businesses stay small because they are the "best kept secret" in town. They do incredible work, but they remain invisible while louder, lower-quality competitors steal their market share. Our mission is to end that cycle. We exist to take established, hard-working businesses and hand them the microphone. We don't just want you to be "busy"; we want you to be the undisputed authority in your city, the brand that competitors envy and customers trust implicitly. We bridge the gap between "doing good work" and "getting paid what you are worth."
The Vision:
We see a future where your business runs on systems, not stress. Our vision is to build you an infrastructure that operates independent of your daily grind, a digital asset that generates revenue while you sleep, filters out the headaches before they reach your phone, and allows you to scale without breaking. We aren't here to help you "survive" another year; we are here to help you build a legacy that outlasts you. This is about transforming your company from a local hustle into a permanent institution in your community.
