Hi, we’re Ben and Brittany Cooper.
If you were at our 12-foot kitchen table having a coffee with us, you’d learn that we’re the parents of four hilarious kiddos, Ben loves to plant fruit trees and Brittany never met a Goodwill store she didn’t like.
Both Indiana natives, we got our start in Nashville, Ben as a full-time songwriter (eight songs on Ricky Skaggs’ Grammy-nominated album Mosaic) and Britt as a writer and editor for music magazines, enjoying chats with favorites like David Gray and Ryan Tedder before going out on her own to handle content for a large music company and craft bios for some of her favorite singer-songwriters.
A little more about us…
In 2015, we moved our family of four (now six) to Austin, where Ben earned an entrepreneurial MBA before taking on a role back in Nashville as Director of Operations for a small private equity startup.
We started Amplify in 2016 on a deep belief that entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to sell part of their business to gain investor insights.
Ben jumped from the investor side of the table to the entrepreneur’s side, working with Nashville favorites like The Peach Truck, Amelia’s Flowers, Ranger Station and others.
In 2018, we bought Britt’s childhood home on four acres in Indiana. Now our days are populated with after-dinner football games, dropping kids at cross country practice and getting our family on the lake or into the woods whenever we can.
Through Amplify, we get to use Ben’s strategy brain and Britt’s communication savvy to help entrepreneurs understand their numbers so they can make space for what matters most to them.
As the parents of four kids and entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand that many of our goals are financial, sure, but often that’s not the full extent of what we want.
We’re moms and dads, neighbors and friends, trying to make a difference in our corner of the world while also wanting to show up in the ways that mean the most to us, for the people who matter most.
If you, like us, are trying to kill it at small business while also craving margin for what matters most, whether it’s fruit trees and football games or something entirely different, we would love to hear from you!
Let’s grow the business YOU WANT,
Ben and Brittany
