šŸ—³ļø How Dropbox Achieved 4000% User Growth

šŸ‘‰ A growth case study about principles applied in 2009 that still hold valid in 2024.

šŸ‘‹ Hi there - it’s Egemen. Thanks for reading Scalable.

I’ve had a deep dive into the early days of ā€œsocial internetā€ lately.

Going back to 2008-2009, Facebook’s just becoming ā€œthe thingā€. Twitter’s actually trending and fresh. There are no stories. No snaps. Not even influencers or paid marketing platforms to reach out to the mass millions globally.

Then I started wondering, how did startups - who achieved incredible growth at the time - did that?

I came across Dropbox’s story.

Now, I’m not going to just share ā€œwhat happenedā€, but also where the company is today.

There are some principles here that still hold valid today - and if you’re struggling with organic growth, you should definitely read through this.
