ADVICE

Reverse Engineer Monthly Growth Targets

  • Treat growth as a reverse-engineered, recurring process by setting monthly targets and finding specific channels to hit them.
  • Teachable tracked monthly goals, computed needed customers, then executed targeted campaigns to fill the gap.
INSIGHT

Big Markets Attract The Best Talent

  • Audacious ideas in massive markets attract top talent and enable building much larger companies.
  • Teachable was a mid-size market; Nagpal argues big markets (e.g., immigration, healthcare) pull smarter people and larger outcomes.
ADVICE

Sign Immigration Reference Letters Freely

  • If you can help immigrants with paperwork like O-1 reference letters, do it — small actions materially increase approval chances.
  • Nagpal signs letters freely and reports tens of successful admissions as direct impact.
