Founding team at LogMeIn (acquired for $4.3B) & author of Hacking Growth
I led early growth at Dropbox and was on the founding team at LogMeIn, where we built the system that eventually led to a $4.3B acquisition. I also coauthored Hacking Growth, which has sold over 750,000 copies and is used by teams at companies like TikTok, Microsoft, and Facebook.
But my favorite work is helping founders. Over the last decade, I’ve coached dozens of startup teams through the messy transition from product-market fit to repeatable growth. I’ve seen where things break—and what actually works.
In this session, I’ll help you avoid one of the most common and costly mistakes I see founders make: handing off growth too early. You’ll leave with clearer thinking, founder-tested next steps, and a better sense of what it takes to lead early growth.
