Meet the founder

Samuel Caruso

Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Samuel has always loved building things, whether that meant physical projects, systems, or growth strategies.

He earned his undergraduate degree in History from the University of Michigan and later completed a Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Emerging Technology, blending strategic thinking with modern digital tools.

Most small businesses do not need more software. They need the right tool built around the work.

Samuel founded DaytonGrowthCo. to build phone agents, quote tools, dashboards, portals, sales materials, and custom apps for small businesses. The work starts with the process, then becomes a tool the team can use.

Why DaytonGrowthCo.

The name honors our roots without limiting our reach. Dayton represents practical invention, steady experimentation, and the courage to build what comes next.

  1. 01Process first

    We map the calls, files, data, handoffs, and repeated steps before recommending a tool.

  2. 02Use what fits

    Existing software is configured when it can solve the problem cleanly.

  3. 03Build what is missing

    Custom tools are reserved for the places where the business workflow needs something specific.

Bring us the process that is still being handled by hand.

We will help determine whether the right answer is a better setup, a focused automation, or a custom tool.
