“Most startups don’t fail at building
a product. They fail at acquiring
customers.”
Growth is Everything
– Gabriel Weinberg
#SEJSummit #Searchmetrics
• McKinsey & Co. studied 3,000 software companies
with different growth rates
• High-growth companies deliver 5x greater returns than
medium growth companies
• Supergrowers (CAGR > 60% at $100m mark) were 8x
more likely to reach $1B
• Increase in growth rates drive 2x the market
capitalization as margin reduction in companies < $4B
• No correlation between cost & growth rates

old sleazy marketing tricks.
– David Heinemeier Hansen, 37 Signals
#SEJSummit #Searchmetrics
What is growth hacking?
A … focus on understanding your users and how
they discover and adopt your products, [so] you
can build features that help you acquire and retain
more users, rather than just spending marketing
dollars.
