To summarize, a Full Stack Hustler can sell, market and understand technology. Instead of being a Growth Hacker, everyday I’m striving to learn and become a Full Stack Hustler. IMHO, this is what makes a great startup founder and work well with a technical founder.
The more I learn about businesses (from developing them and from helping people with them), the more I move away from this type of thinking. I use to market myself as a growth hacker. Because yeah, I can do that with no problem. But the issue is that growth hacking is a bad way to call it. I refuse to call it Full-Stack Hustling, because that is just plain weird. What I call it now is business development. From refining the business model, to finding new ways to profit, to negotiating better deals, to simply developing the business in any way.
So, call me a business developer. That's all you got be focused on doing.
- smit 14y agointeresting. would you include marketing in business development?
- orangethirty 14y agoOf course. It is required.
- FelixP 14y agoIn my experience, good BD folks have to possess all of these skills / knowledge sets to one degree or another in order to be really good at what they do. However, "BD" in a role-description sense is usually limited to covering partnerships and (sometimes) sales.
- smit 14y agoI agree with you Felix. BD is normally associated with partnerships and sales which is why I decided to use Full Stack Hustler to cover a wider range of skills.
