You don’t see the negative externalities of thousands of start ups growth hacking just so that they can IPO? And thousands of already public companies hacking growth to stay publicly traded?

Or do you just not want to see it?

If you’re asking me if I know that the world isn’t fair then I hate to tell you this, but I feel a lot more guilty about the shady supply line that led to me being capable of writing this reply on my iPhone than of any work or investment I’ve ever personally been involved in.

That being said, I don’t agree with the sentiment that a company needs to “growth hack” to go from startup to successful IPO. It obviously happens, but a lot of companies succeed by selling something that is actually useful. It may not be as glamorous as working for a FAANG company, but you can make a pretty decent career out of helping non-tech companies scale beyond excel sheets.
