Less admin work for clients
Co-Founders Jeff Knauss and Jake Tanner are builders. They started and scaled Digital Hyve, growing it from a 200-square-foot office into an eight-figure agency ranked #52 on the Inc. 5000 and successfully sold the business in 2021. Along the way they learned, firsthand, how the shape of a company’s operations determines the actual work its people do every day.
That operator’s understanding is what makes Arcovo different. It’s not technology for its own sake; it’s AI built around how work actually happens inside a business, aimed at the operational reality that decides whether work gets better or just gets faster.
It’s why they could see what AI would mean for businesses early, and moved quickly to meet that need.
Jeff Knauss and Jake Tanner co-founded Digital Hyve from a 200 sq ft office, bootstrapped from zero.
The agency grew to eight figures in revenue and landed #52 on the Inc. 5000, fifth fastest-growing marketing and advertising company in the US.
In 2021, Jeff and Jake sold Digital Hyve to a large regional ad agency, owning 100% of the equity at the time of sale.
ChatGPT launched and Jeff went deep. He has two kids, and wanted to understand the world they were growing up in. He also saw, early, how profoundly this technology would reshape the way businesses operate. It was never just a business play, but the business potential was impossible to ignore.
Arcovo launched at the start of 2024 when Jeff and Jake decided to get the band back together. Since then, Arcovo has grown 7x faster than Digital Hyve did at the same stage, serving over 100 clients across more than 10 industries in the first year.
