🦄 Before Growth

👋 Hey — Egemen here. Long intro this week.

I was at a product management event last week, had a chance to reconnect with a few folks I haven’t seen in a long time.

A couple said they kept reading SCALABLE for more than a year now, that meant so much to me. If you’re reading this, and even if we have never met before, thank you. I do my best to keep the content consistently useful, and I hope it resonates.

That said, we have a community of fellow founders all around the world, you can join by becoming a lifetime member here.

If not, why are you chasing growth?

Today, we’re talking about that a little bit.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s on the menu today:
