A small design shop scaled from 3 to 14 people on a CrewAI lead-generation crew

Brickell Digital, a small design and development firm, used to rely on referrals for new business. The team wired up CrewAI agents that scrape fundraising databases and venture networks, score prospects against an ideal-customer profile, then auto-generate design audits and competitive analyses to prepare each sales conversation. The reported outcome: qualified leads up more than 80%, with the sales team growing from 3 to 14 as the pipeline filled. The takeaway for a micro-business is that a small agent crew can close the we-never-have-time-to-prospect gap without first hiring a dedicated sales-development team. It is another build-your-own deployment on CrewAI, where owning the prospecting logic mattered more than buying an off-the-shelf tool.
