Get a sneak peak into the program. Here we're talking about retention and churn - two incredibly powerful aspects of running your startup!
Program format: Live with supplemental content
Learn acquisition fundamentals and receive objective channel and performance guidance from experts who have done this before.
Growth University is a hybrid live virtual course with pre-recorded supplemental lessons. The typical week has:
1 hour of instructional content for the theme of the week followed by 30 minutes of live Q&A. This content will also be recorded for those who can’t attend live.
Expert interviews (live & pre-recorded), case studies, real world examples from fast growing startups.
1 hour of optional office hours with program hosts and supporting team members where you can ask questions about your own company & specific growth goals.
In addition, there is pre-recorded supplemental video and written content that can be consumed outside of the live sessions at your own pace. Actionable assignments each week will be assigned to enforce the learnings. Our expectation is that you’ll spend 2-4 hours per week focusing on these lessons and applying them to your startup.
