It amazes me that pg (who has seen a lot more startups than I have) sees 5-10% WEEKLY growth as a reasonable target. That is amazing. I suppose its really the difference in "startup" and "lifestyle business" (more my style) right there - the pure scale of the growth.
- noelwelsh 13y agoThat 5-10% per week is probably only for a very short period. From the article: Important context for this advice, which I believe is often missed, is that the majority of companies in YC launch during the tail end of the program. So we're talking about companies launching a few weeks before demo day, making a big splash, and getting some nice numbers for demo day. When you've only been launched for four weeks it comparatively easy to get great numbers like this.
