WHY RETENTION IS SO HARD FOR NEW TECH PRODUCTS I’ve been staring at retention curve data for 15-plus years now. I was a founder, a product manager, and now a VC. And at Andreessen Horowitz, I end up meeting hundreds of startups each year, many of them through our a16z speedrun

We invest up to $1M in your new startup.

Been amazing to have an @HarvardHBS case study out there!
I recently wrote about how "Every great company was once a one-trick pony startup" @HarvardHBS just published a case study detailing how we grew up from a one-trick-pony startup that only offered discounted hotel deals over messaging, to a well diversified consumer technology

Thanks for the call out @deedydas . Definitely not in the silicon valley echo chamber but it doesn't really matter :) We are growing fast, profitable and most importantly helping millions of customers save, earn, and experience more of what life has to offer! 😃

Thanks for sharing. Definitely turn this into a blog post!
I have often heard from VCs that high churn consumer businesses can definitively never succeed. This perspective lacks nuance. Their argument goes that eventually the marketing cost to replace churned customers becomes too big, and eventually revenue withers away. But to me,

What a week! Catching my breath while being thankful to be around so many amazing people. What an energizing week. We kicked off the week with the news about JP Chauvet of Lightspeed joining Inovia Capital as an EiR, followed by the announcement of the first closing of Inovia

Thanks @mattmochary for the shout out! We have been using quite a few of your guides along the way. 🚀

🚀 We launched a new product that scaled from $0 to over $30MM+ ARR in under 12 months. Plus, we launched two new products in unrelated verticals that reached millions in sales. How did we ship so fast and with such impact? Here's the secret: 🧵👇
