Colin Hodge is a startup founder and author who has led companies and growth teams responsible for over 100 million users. He currently is co-owner of DOWN, a top 10 dating app in the US with millions in annual revenue – built on the growth principles and lessons shared in this book.

He achieved a successful exit for DOWN (then later reacquiring it) and 17Live, the top live-streaming video company in Asia (and still learned from plenty of failures along the way). While chief growth officer at 17Live, Colin led the data-driven initiatives in growth, global expansion, and marketing, then launched the platform in the United States as the first US CEO.

Colin holds a BS in computer science from Cornell University and occasionally serves as a board member and keynote speaker for organizations around the world.
