Episode notes

organic growth requires two things. First, those shareable moments to exist and second, for your customers to choose to share your product during them. For a TV show, the moments where people share happen frequently and predictably. I heard about jury duty three times before I watched it. The first was when a tackle box member told me about it.

Today we talk about organic growth. Your startup won't be successful if your first customers aren't compelled to tell people about how you've helped them. Luckily, organic growth is straightforward. There are ways to predict it and ideas better suited for it. We talk through an equation for organic growth and dig in on why people share.
