As a founder, product lead at Pinterest and PM for a couple products at Google, as well as a growth partner for Initialized Capital, I\u2019ve seen many product teams struggle to grow. Many products start out with a bang. Some find product-market fit with sustained growth. A few have gone through spurts of hyper-growth. But more often than not, I\u2019ve seen most of them linger then fizzle.<\/p>\n
\u201cFounders launch their product, wonder why it isn\u2019t growing like gangbusters and then immediately try to fix their growth problem.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They turn to growth tactics like optimizing their on-boarding funnel, SEO or push notifications before really understanding what they are building and who they are building for. This may create an initial burst of short-term growth.<\/p>\n
But it ultimately leads to high churn of your possible customers, while ignoring problems in the core product.
\nBefore trying different growth tactics like throwing spaghetti at a wall, startups need to take a fresh look at their users, evaluate their product end goals and re-define the journey they want their users to take to get there.
