Startup Advisor & Growth Leader

It's never been easier to build a product.
The hard part is growing it.
Growth Foundations will teach you how to think critically about your company's growth.
You will learn how to change your company's growth trajectory, all the way from high-level strategy down to micro optimizations.
As anyone who has experienced growth knows: growth solves (nearly) all problems.
Who am I?
I'm Gaurav Vohra, startup advisor and growth leader.
I've built and advised close to 30 companies, including Superhuman, Notion, Clay, Replit, Wispr Flow, and many more. Collectively they are worth over $40BN.
I've seen all kinds of growth strategies and tactics — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
This course contains the most valuable things I've seen in a condensed and high-impact series.
Who is this for?
Founders, growth product managers, growth marketers, first growth or marketing hires, growth and marketing leaders, product managers, or even data scientists and designers driving growth.
Building your growth foundations might make you the most valuable person in your company.
Learn the growth strategies and tactics I've gathered from 30+ startups, collectively worth over $40BN.
You'll understand how to think about growth at a global level, as a system, as levers & loops, as product & marketing, and picking a focus
Identify your startup's roving bottleneck, the theory of optimization, and practically where you could apply focus in your startup today
Answer practical questions like how much demand is enough demand, when to test vs. just ship, how long to optimize funnels for
Understand what positioning is (and what it isn't), crafting your own messaging framework, and immediately leveling up how customers see you
Identify your ICP(s) and create clarity in your startup on who to focus on, versus who NOT to focus on
Understand when to offer your product for free (freemium or free trial), some blend, or to exclusively charge money — and how to gauge WTP
What is and what isn't the aha moment, how to picture a broader user journey, and how to build an amazing human- or product-first onboarding
Understand the deep connections between core product value, moats, user retention, and onboarding
Where do your customers come from, which channels you should focus on, and balancing scalable channels vs. one-off "hits"
Concrete tactics that you can apply to your startup today around word-of-mouth and virality, search/GEO, and more.
Solve your most important growth blocker: talent. Bringing in the right roles, hiring for excellence, and leading an A+ team.
Communicate with executive presence, ship with velocity and inspire your entire organization.

Gaurav drives massive impact fast. Pricing, growth loops, hiring, analytics: he touched everything and taught us how to make it better. Drove significant revenue, landed major roles, stood up critical infra. One of the best decisions we made as a company.

Tanay Kothari
Gaurav played a huge role in standing up Clay's Growth Eng function. Starting from 0: what we should track, defining activation at Clay, what experiments / cadence / structure will drive success. He helped our team make strides on both activation and conversion.

Varun Anand
Gaurav is A+. He thinks about growth beyond just marketing and also as product/PMF, referrals, systems, and hiring. If you want to grow faster (you probably do) work with Gaurav.

Max Marchione
