A Village Only Holds Up If the Businesses in It Can Grow

Cara and Vix have spent more than a decade building businesses. Vix grew up playing “taking baby to work” in the classes her own mother taught, and she learned early that a mom’s business is how a family holds together. Then both of them became moms, and their daughters are now two. They saw how little business support the places moms lean on actually get.

We call it the M2M economy: mom to mom, the way B2B is business to business. It’s the dance studios, playschools, tutoring collectives and family concierge services that keep families running, mostly on referrals and thin margins.

Most of the village runs on word of mouth. That carries a business a long way, and then it stalls. The owner ends up doing marketing after bedtime, and the families who need them most never hear their name. Vix saw it the day she became a mom: the Village was burning and no one cared about fixing it.

A business that grows can pay its people well and serve more moms. It has room to give our little ones the most magic.

We're hyperfixated on fixing the growth engine that builds a stronger village.

Founders We Work With Move Fast

Three recent results from founder-led businesses. Two of them are run by moms.

$226K in 38 Days

A mom of four added over $200,000 to her course-based revenue stream in 38 days in February 2026. More than $140K of it was profit.

$130K in 10 Days

A single mom of a two-year-old, running a business up against new AI-based competition, signed $130K in contracts in the first 10 days of July 2026.

60% Higher Pricing in 5 Days

A venture-backed technical founder pivoted her business and raised her pricing 60%. She closed her first deal in the new structure within 5 days of starting with us.

Results like these come from data-backed systems and trauma-informed partnership, built on 30+ years of combined experience. The village deserves the same playbook.

The Businesses Families Lean on Every Week

Most grew on referrals and are ready for a system that brings in the next hundred families.

Dance studios

Classes that fill in September and stay full through spring recital.

Playschools

Enrollment that keeps moving when the parent group chat goes quiet.

Tutoring collectives

A pipeline that runs all year, well past exam season.

Family concierge services

Clients who find you before they're running on empty.

We also work with enrichment camps, kids' fitness, parent coaching and the rest of the village.

Growth Runs on Six Systems

When one breaks, the whole engine slows down. We look at all six together and fix them in the order that moves revenue first.

  1. Presence and VisibilityFamilies can find you, and they like what they see when they do.
  2. Demand GenerationA steady flow of new families, on top of the referrals you already get.
  3. Pipeline ArchitectureEvery inquiry gets tracked and followed up, with nothing lost in a DM.
  4. Nurture and RetentionFamilies who stay another season and bring their friends along.
  5. Conversion InfrastructureEnrollment and payment that take two minutes on a phone.
  6. Revenue IntelligenceClear numbers on what's working, so you can do more of it.

Internal Systems and AI Exposure sits underneath all six. It's the tools and workflows your team runs on every day, and where AI can give the owner hours back.

Find What's Stuck, Then Fix It

01

The Diagnostic

A three-week revenue systems audit. We map how families find you and where they drop off, then rank what to fix first.

02

The Build

We build the systems The Diagnostic points to, in order of revenue impact.

03

The Run

We run and refine those systems alongside your team, month after month, so growth compounds.

Vix Reitano, founder of Agency 6B

Vix Reitano

Founder, Agency 6B

Vix is a three-time founder and a Forbes Next 1000 founder who started coding at age 3, in the classes her mother taught to college students in New York City. She grew up playing “taking baby to work” instead of playing house, and learned early that the only way to be the mother she wanted to be was to forge her own path.

After giving birth to her daughter in 2024, Vix got a reality check: the Village was burning and no one cared about fixing it. Her mission is to make tech approachable and decode the data behind business decisions, so women at every stage of mothering can turn their dreams into the reality they live every day.

Cara Katz, Chief Revenue Officer of Agency 6B

Cara Katz

Chief Revenue Officer, Agency 6B

Cara is a five-time bootstrapped founder who has built revenue for more than 50 companies, from Inc. 5000 businesses and eight-figure founders to Fortune 500 brands. She started her first company at 19 and later grew The Hedy Society, her personal brand agency, into an international team of more than 40 serving women founders and thought leaders.

She is a mom to a two-year-old daughter, and she knows firsthand that the businesses families lean on run on referrals and relationships. At Agency 6B she turns that word of mouth into predictable revenue, so the studios and playschools families depend on can grow without burning out the moms who run them.

The M2M Economy, Explained

What is the M2M economy?

M2M means mom to mom, the way B2B means business to business. The M2M economy is the businesses moms rely on to raise their kids and run their lives: dance studios, playschools, tutoring collectives, family concierge services and many more. Most of them grew on referrals and get very little growth support. Cara Katz and Vix Reitano of Agency 6B named it and focus their work on it.

Who does Agency 6B work with in the M2M economy?

Founder-led businesses that serve moms and families, usually ones that grew on word of mouth and have stalled. That includes dance studios, playschools, tutoring collectives and family concierge services, plus enrichment camps, kids’ fitness and parent coaching.

How does Agency 6B help these businesses grow?

Every engagement starts with The Diagnostic, a three-week revenue systems audit. The Build follows, putting the fixes in place in order of revenue impact. In The Run, Agency 6B runs and refines those systems alongside the owner’s team.

What results has Agency 6B delivered?

Recent results include $226K in 38 days for a mom of four, $130K in signed contracts in 10 days for a single mom of a two-year-old, and a 60% price increase in 5 days for a venture-backed technical founder. Cara and Vix have supported more than 250 founder-led brands between them.
