Hacking Growth

How Today's Fastest-Growing Companies Drive Breakout Success

Run a fast, data-driven experiment engine to drive breakout growth.

by Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown

Ellis and Brown lay out the operating system for growth teams: a rapid, cross-functional experimentation process that pulls together product, marketing, data, and engineering. They cover finding the aha moment, identifying your North Star metric, and running high-tempo test cycles across acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue. The book is full of company examples and a practical playbook.

Growth is a team sport powered by disciplined experimentation, not one-off marketing tricks. This book shows founders how to stand up a repeatable growth process that compounds learning over time.
