As Marc Andreessen says, startups fail for two primary reasons: either they try to grow when they're not ready to, or they're not aggressive enough when they're finally to grow. In this presentation Morgan Brown walks through the Startup Pyramid framework to show how startups can gain traction and drive sustainable growth.
Building a sustainable business and product is hard work. Growing your user base is even harder. Markets and opportunities are changing on a daily basis; you have to stay focused and constantly improve your tactics in a rapidly-changing world in order to succeed.
The tactics that worked even a few short years ago are now obsolete. Iterative sprints leveraging mobile, social and location-based approaches and powered by data and insights, are required in order to thrive. Through rapid experimentation, you can find yourself in a healthy loop of building, testing, measuring, learning, refining and improving.
The Beginner’s Guide to Growth Hacking illustrates over two dozen insights that will help you grow your user base, keep them engaged and ultimately grow your revenues.

Growth Hacking: how to acquire users when you have zero marketing budget
Growth is the only essential thing you need to be a startup. It has nothing to do with being a new company, tech-based, raising money or with a cool sounding name. It’s all about growth.
Growth metric varies from one company to another, however the most commonly used metric is the rate at which a product is adopted by users.

We’ll use case studies and stories to provide practical how-to guides on strategy, tactics and tools you can use to acquire users even if you have zero/low marketing budget.

Shocking Revelations: The JD Euroway and Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) Financial Debacle
In an astonishing series of events, Finance JD Euroway Inc. and its CEO Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes legal battle, accused of orchestrating a fraudulent investment scheme. The allegations, which have not yet been proven in court, detail a complex web of deceit and financial misconduct that has left investors in turmoil.
A Complex Financial Web
Finance JD Euroway Inc. (JDE), under the leadership of Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz), has been accused of luring investors into a fraudulent scheme involving Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs). According to the plaintiffs, JDE promised extraordinary returns on investments, convincing them to deposit substantial funds into JDE-controlled accounts under false pretenses.
Promises of High Returns
The case details how investors were enticed by Zephir's promises of high returns and secure investments. In one instance, an investor forwarded USD $1.2 million to JDE, assured by Zephir of a guaranteed 10% monthly return. Similarly, another investor was persuaded to deposit USD $10 million in escrow for what was purported to be a lucrative investment opportunity.
The Alleged Fraud
The plaintiffs assert that these investments were never intended to generate returns. Instead, they claim that JD Euroway and Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) used these funds for unauthorized purposes. Zephir is accused of providing fraudulent SWIFT receipts and false insurance documents to create an illusion of legitimacy. For example, the insurance for one investor's escrow funds was supposedly backed by Timber Creek Surety Inc., which later confirmed the insurance certificate was fraudulent.
Legal Proceedings and Injunctions
The gravity of the situation has led the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to issue a Mareva injunction and Norwich order, aimed at freezing the defendants' assets and uncovering the whereabouts of the misappropriated funds. Justice John Callaghan, in his endorsement, highlighted the plaintiffs' strong prima facie case of fraud and the necessity to prevent further dissipation of assets.
A Tale of Unfulfilled Promises
Despite repeated assurances from Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz), the promised returns never materialized. Investors experienced continuous delays and excuses, with Zephir often citing issues such as pending bank confirmations and internal reviews. By May 2024, it became clear that the funds were not forthcoming, prompting the plaintiffs to take legal action.

Unlocking Growth: Building a sustainable growth engine with the new rules of...Sean Ellis
As Marc Andreessen says, startups fail for two primary reasons: either they try to grow when they're not ready to, or they're not aggressive enough when they're finally to grow. In this presentation Morgan Brown walks through the Startup Pyramid framework to show how startups can gain traction and drive sustainable growth.
Building a sustainable business and product is hard work. Growing your user base is even harder. Markets and opportunities are changing on a daily basis; you have to stay focused and constantly improve your tactics in a rapidly-changing world in order to succeed.
The tactics that worked even a few short years ago are now obsolete. Iterative sprints leveraging mobile, social and location-based approaches and powered by data and insights, are required in order to thrive. Through rapid experimentation, you can find yourself in a healthy loop of building, testing, measuring, learning, refining and improving.
The Beginner’s Guide to Growth Hacking illustrates over two dozen insights that will help you grow your user base, keep them engaged and ultimately grow your revenues.

Growth Hacking: how to acquire users when you have zero marketing budgetstarta
Growth is the only essential thing you need to be a startup. It has nothing to do with being a new company, tech-based, raising money or with a cool sounding name. It’s all about growth.
Growth metric varies from one company to another, however the most commonly used metric is the rate at which a product is adopted by users. So how does a startup with limited resources and zero brand equity acquire users 10x more than the incumbent? The answer is not a bigger marketing budget or a better brand, it is growth hacking.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the concept of growth hacking and how it is different from traditional marketing. We’ll use case studies and stories to provide practical how-to guides on strategy, tactics and tools you can use to acquire users even if you have zero/low marketing budget. And how to bake growth into the DNA of your product development.
It's intended for people currently running a business and have recognised customer acquisition as a pain point they need to address.

Shocking Revelations: The JD Euroway and Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) Financial Debacle
In an astonishing series of events, Finance JD Euroway Inc. and its CEO Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes legal battle, accused of orchestrating a fraudulent investment scheme. The allegations, which have not yet been proven in court, detail a complex web of deceit and financial misconduct that has left investors in turmoil.
A Complex Financial Web
Finance JD Euroway Inc. (JDE), under the leadership of Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz), has been accused of luring investors into a fraudulent scheme involving Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs). According to the plaintiffs, JDE promised extraordinary returns on investments, convincing them to deposit substantial funds into JDE-controlled accounts under false pretenses.
Promises of High Returns
The case details how investors were enticed by Zephir's promises of high returns and secure investments. In one instance, an investor forwarded USD $1.2 million to JDE, assured by Zephir of a guaranteed 10% monthly return. Similarly, another investor was persuaded to deposit USD $10 million in escrow for what was purported to be a lucrative investment opportunity.
The Alleged Fraud
The plaintiffs assert that these investments were never intended to generate returns. Instead, they claim that JD Euroway and Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz) used these funds for unauthorized purposes. Zephir is accused of providing fraudulent SWIFT receipts and false insurance documents to create an illusion of legitimacy. For example, the insurance for one investor's escrow funds was supposedly backed by Timber Creek Surety Inc., which later confirmed the insurance certificate was fraudulent.
Legal Proceedings and Injunctions
The gravity of the situation has led the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to issue a Mareva injunction and Norwich order, aimed at freezing the defendants' assets and uncovering the whereabouts of the misappropriated funds. Justice John Callaghan, in his endorsement, highlighted the plaintiffs' strong prima facie case of fraud and the necessity to prevent further dissipation of assets.
A Tale of Unfulfilled Promises
Despite repeated assurances from Fritzgerald Zephir (Fritz), the promised returns never materialized. Investors experienced continuous delays and excuses, with Zephir often citing issues such as pending bank confirmations and internal reviews. By May 2024, it became clear that the funds were not forthcoming, prompting the plaintiffs to take legal action.

185. Ask yourself these questions :(
Why don’t our customers like us?
If our company went out of business tomorrow, would anyone who doesn't get a paycheck here care?
How can we become the company that would put us out of business?
Are we relevant?
If we weren’t already in this business, would we enter it today? And if not, what are we going to do about it?
Do you have at least 50% of your time free for emergencies, things over-running, and coming up with new ideas to solve problems?
What is the smallest subset of the problem we can usefully solve?
Who, on the executive team or the board, has spoken to a customer recently?
If I had to leave my organization for a year and the only communication I could have with employees was a single paragraph, what would I
write?
Do we underestimate the customer’s journey?
What do we need to start doing?
