What Hacker News says?

  1. Here is what I think after interviewing 20+ GHs and doing it myself for the past two years. growth hacker (noun) - one who’s passion and focus is growth through use of a testable, empirical, and scalable methodology. Basically, a growth hacker is the blend of a product, marketing, and data. They sort of operate as R&D within a startup.
