Who should attend:

  • Early-stage app founders who have launched (or are about to) and want real traction — not just downloads. 

  • Growth-focused builders stuck between “we have users” and “we have revenue.” 

  • Indie hackers & bootstrappers who want profitability, not vanity metrics. 

  • Marketing leads & product teams trying to figure out which growth lever actually matters right now. 

  • Founders tired of chasing tactics — and ready for a stage-by-stage roadmap that actually compounds. 

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear diagnosis of where you are (Validation → Traction → Scale → Profit) 

  • 1–2 growth levers to focus on next 

  • Specific experiments to run in the next 30–90 days 

  • Clarity on what to stop wasting time on 

This isn’t a motivational talk.  It’s a tactical, no-fluff working session. 

If you want theory, this isn’t it. If you want hard, practical growth strategy — you’re in the right room.
