What is Growth Hacking?
A process using consumer insights to test hypotheses to 

optimize key metrics at each stage of the funnel

Insights Hypotheses Metrics
Which Hacks 

Work Best?
It Depends

No magic bullet
The problem with building a
business with no blueprint for
success is you have to anticipate
false starts. Customers are a

Customer + bottomless pit of surprises.

Customers want (this feature),
so, if I do (these tactics),
then I expect (these measurable
results)
