# Eat Sleep Launch Repeat (ESLR) > Your operating partner, not another agency. Eat Sleep Launch Repeat grows small businesses and startups by developing their digital, physical, and human infrastructure: documented SOPs, AI-assisted workflows, project management, aligned culture, and trained leaders, installed inside the company so it runs without its owner in the weeds. A traditional agency profits from your dependence. We profit from your independence. Every engagement is built around a defined exit, so what we install stays after we leave. Eat Sleep Launch Repeat is an operating partner (not an agency) founded by Nick Jones, based in Flagstaff, AZ, serving clients across the United States (remote).
