By Gino from GrowthPulse • Issue #171 • View online

Good afternoon,

Tools that give us superpowers, Basecamp offers a free Personal plan, Reforge on how experiments are a tool of humility - not decision-making & How to get users and grow by Facebook VP of Growth Alex Schultz. This is your weekly GrowthPulse.

How to get users and grow

With the weekend coming up, see if you can find yourself a 50-minute slot over lunch to watch the following talk. It’s a talk by Facebooks VP of Growth Alex Schultz and dates back to 2017. However, everything he touches upon is still relevant today. He will uncover how to calculate engagement and retention following the same formula and explain the variables that can improve your metrics over time.

Also in this digest

Basecamp introduced Basecamp Personal, where you can add up to three projects and 20 people. Last week some at Reforge that work at Slack, SurveyMonkey and Reforge itself started to share their take on experimentation programs for PMs and how running experiments fuels humility, because we can’t always know how certain features evolve. If that’s something you’d be interested in, I’d encourage you to read it.

Back in Jan 2019, my Weekend Fund teammate Ryan Hoover wrote an article on The Rise of “No Code”. 1.5 years of investing later, we think the rise of no code is a sub-theme in an even larger movement: tools that give knowledge workers superpowers.
