Emphasizing Founders in Product-Led Growth
Founders play a crucial role in the success of product-led growth (PLG) strategies, often driving faster and more innovative implementations than senior product teams. An analysis of over 300 clients revealed that while 80% of them were senior product staff, it was the 20% who were founders that generated the majority of the results. The speed at which founders experiment and make decisions significantly contributes to their success in PLG. By understanding this dynamic, businesses can better harness the potential of their leadership to enhance their growth strategies.
