It would be great to get a big list of growth stories, each in 255 characters or less. e.g. Went viral with free web widget, made zero money, realized growth without revenue sucks, pivoted.
- dmix 11y ago...why? At least a paragraph would be needed to have some substance and accuracy.
- mmaunder 11y agoNah. The essence of most growth stories can be described in less than 255 chars. I just described one of mine above.
- kzhahou 11y agoMaybe 255 characters is too long also. Let's just have a 10 character max: "Got big" or "Succeeded" In fact, we could represent it as a bit-field, and then get the story in one byte: 0x01: Made a key product/market connection 0x02: spent on advertising/marketing 0x04: connected to customers by investors 0x08: Fortuitous current event or market shift drove traffic 0x10: big media mention (TV, celebrity endorsement, ...) 0x20: focus on customer support 0x40: Long grind before today's success 0x80: Pivoted one or more times Then... the story of Zapier: 0x62 :-)
