NOTE

Focus on Key Drivers of Growth

In a big company, the challenge shifts from having the right answers to aligning resources and changing mindsets to drive growth. Reflecting on the growth at PayPal, it was observed that 90% of growth stemmed from just 10% of activities, such as engagement with web developers, network effects, and strategic partnerships. Startups, lacking excess cash flow, need to identify these key drivers of growth quickly to succeed. Many successful companies, like Canva and Dropbox, attribute 90% of their growth to a small portion of their efforts. Learning from these insights, the focus now shifts to identifying these critical factors early on for startups to achieve successful growth and navigate preventable mistakes.
