The situation

AirOps helps marketing teams win visibility in AI search and AI discovery. CEO Alex Halliday founded it in early 2022, nearly a year before ChatGPT launched, and it did not start with an AI focus. In November 2025 it raised a $40M Series B led by Greylock at a $225M valuation.

AirOps sells into a young category, answer engine optimization, where buyers and best practices are still forming. Eoin Clancy credits HGP's frameworks with "playing a key role in shaping our trajectory", and its connections with making the right conversations happen.

What HyperGrowth Partners does

• Experimentation and SEO: HGP works with AirOps on an experimentation framework and on SEO. Clancy credits HGP with "frameworks that make even the toughest growth challenges solvable" and with introductions: "they simply know the right people and help make the right conversations happen".
• AI-search expertise: Kevin Indig was the featured guest on AirOps webinars on refreshing content to rank in AEO and AI (June 2025, with AirOps' Josh Spilker and Eoin Clancy) and on AI-search research and 2026 predictions, and AirOps quotes his webinar guidance in its AI Overviews framework. His line from the content-refresh session: "Content refresh is always in my top 3."
• More HGP voices in AirOps programming: In October 2026 AirOps published takeaways from three of its Growth Leader webinars, featuring HGP partners Kevin Indig and Eli Schwartz, and Ross Simmonds. G writes for AirOps' CMO Series ("AI Just Cut the CMO's Job in Half", September 2026), where AirOps lists him as Partner at HyperGrowth Partners.
