The legendary startups of the world have one thing in common—they know how to grow.

Yes, they all started off with a product that the market wanted (what the entrepreneurial crowd calls the “product-market fit”).

But having a tool people want and having one that lots of people use are two very different things, the latter separating successful companies from those that stagnate or even utterly fail.

The key is that successful startups know how to take a product the market wants and translate that into widespread adoption. That’s what we call serious growth, and achieving it is more an art than a science. That’s why so many new companies aren’t able to grow and break through the storied “valley of death”—the painful stretch when sales haven’t grown enough to keep the business afloat.

Today, dear Foundr family, we are here to help you make it across this treacherous valley of death, and emerge a fully formed business with an upward trajectory. And if you’ve made it past the valley already, but you’re stuck on a plateau of growth, we’ll take you beyond that too.

Either way, if you are an entrepreneur with a startup that you know is beaming with potential to disrupt your industry, acquire customers at scale, and grow into nothing short of a phenomenon, we have something that will help you take your business to the next level.

Introducing, the Growth Hacking Playbook

Growth is the philosopher’s stone (Harry Potter fans, anyone?) for most startups. They know that once they find it, they’ll turn their tool into gold. Relatively few, however, are able to pull this off.

The ones that do grow often do so after implementing “spaghetti-against-the-wall” marketing where luck and a lot of spending play a larger role than any thought-out strategic plan or system. Other times, businesses rely on popular growth hacks that get a short-term burst of attention that fades away all too quickly.

What if you had a proven framework for sustainably growth hacking your business? One that takes your business from that boring “linear” growth to the hockey stick growth—whether that’s going from $100 to $1,000 a month, or $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue.

We know this is possible because we’ve been able to do it ourselves. Now, our goal is to help you execute that same level of growth and scale your business. Because that’s what we do.

We know from talking frequently with our community that growth hacking is one of the most sought after skills for early stage entrepreneurs. That’s because, aside from just getting started in the first place, lack of growth is the single challenge that can stymie even an amazing new startup.

That’s why we decided to create a course that’d help you do exactly that, a course that’d go deep into the philosophy of startup marketing growth, as well as the actual tactics you can use to achieve that growth.

When we decided to create this course, we looked for someone to lead it who not only had a knack for technology and marketing, and had experience growing multiple startups, but also would be able to actually teach these concepts to other people.

That search led us to a guy who has not only grown several businesses, but also wrote the number one guide on growth hacking available online.

In this course, you’ll learn:

Module 3: Push Tactics for Getting Visitors

Module 4: Product Tactics for Getting Visitors

Module 5: How to Activate Members and Retain Users

Acquiring users is half of the equation; now you need to get them to fall in love with your product so you can retain them for the long term. In this module, you will learn the fundamentals of activating your new members, the best ways to use copywriting to sell your product, and a simple method to move your users from “How does this work?” to “I love this!”

What This Course Is Not

Growth hacking is often seen as a set of quick fixes that can help companies grow fast in a short time. That’s why it gets a bad rap. The problem isn’t that growth hacking is a bad approach, it’s that the mentality of some marketers and bloggers is misguided.

We’ll be the first ones to tell you we don’t support this kind of short-term thinking. You won’t find any of the “easy” hacks that are typically mentioned elsewhere. We won’t promise you lightning-fast results either.

This course is only for entrepreneurs and marketers who are willing to adopt the right growth mindset, apply it to their companies, implement the proven tactics Bronson shares, and test them until they see the results they desire.

It won’t be easy. Your tests will fail at times—but when they don’t, you’ll grow faster than you have ever experienced before.

If you are willing to roll up your sleeves, run experiments, and take risks, this course is for you.
