S18E12: Mastering Community-Led Growth with Traction & Boast Co-Founder Lloyed Lobo (Season Finale!)

8-figure revenue. $123 million raise. A community of 100,000+ members.

The buzzword in Silicon Valley is 'Product-Led Growth', but is PLG really the future?

Lloyed Lobo Lobo thinks its CLG -- COMMUNITY-Led Growth.

Building COMMUNITY is a low-cost, high-growth option that can become your ultimate moat.

Lloyed would know — building up the Tractionconf.io community allowed his company Boast to bootstrap to that 8-figure revenue and pull in that massive raise.

In the season finale episode of Startup Hypeman: The Podcast, I had the honor of interviewing Lloyed. He shares:

-What you need to start a community

-How to master CLG for your startup

-How to make sure it isn't a massive failure

He also shares how his initial exposure to community came early in life as a Gulf War refugee, and how that's shaped his point of view.
