@0x_kaize cool article but looks like it's not free? and how does it remember and have consistent 4 layers of memory and NOT burn through token consumption? 👀
I have interviewed 100 of the best growth leaders over the past 5 years.
None has impressed me as much as @ElenaVerna, Head of Growth @Lovable. Elena scaled Lovable's growth engine from $0 to $400M in ARR in just 2 years.
Today, I released our 20Growth with Elena and have gone over it to condense my biggest lessons from the discussion.
🚀 8 Lessons on Building a $400M ARR Growth Machine:
1. Growth Is No Longer a Distribution Problem. It’s a Trust Problem.
When anyone can build software with AI, functionality stops being the moat. Trust becomes the moat. The question customers ask is simple: “Do I trust this team to keep evolving the product?”
2. Your Product Is Now Your Most Important Channel
The best acquisition channel in 2026 is the product itself. If users love the experience, they share it, talk about it and bring others in. Marketing becomes amplification of product delight.
3. Founder & Employee Socials Are the Most Underrated Growth Channel
Most companies treat social like an intern posting memes. The real opportunity is employees building in public. When engineers, PMs and founders share what they are building, it builds trust and distribution simultaneously.
4. Paid Growth Too Early Is a Death Trap
If you haven’t figured out organic demand yet, paid ads will simply burn cash faster. Until product-market fit is clear and funnels are optimized, paid growth is often just lighting money on fire.
5. CAC:LTV Is a Fantasy for Most Startups
Most companies don’t actually know their LTV. Unless you’ve been operating for years, it’s guesswork. The metric that matters instead: payback period. How quickly do you get your cash back?
6. Community Should Be Built Around Superusers, Not Support Tickets
Most “communities” become complaint forums. The right way: identify your early power users and make them ambassadors. Let them pull others in through enthusiasm, not customer service.
7. Don’t Lock Monetization into Subscriptions
Many AI products are bursty. People build intensely for a period, then slow down. Allowing top-ups or usage-based purchases alongside subscriptions can dramatically increase revenue and retention.
8. The Best Growth Strategy Is Relentless Shipping
Lovable ships improvements daily and major launches every 1–2 months. Constant product evolution keeps the company top-of-mind and continuously re-engages users.

This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year.
Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used.
Her exact words (full clip attached):
“I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.
Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies.
A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”
Then she turns the knife inward:
“These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up.
But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken.
At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’
Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.”
She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.
This isn’t some random podcast bro.
This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying:
“We were the useful idiots.”

i built a tool that allows me to clone the brain of any youtuber…
i used it on alex hormozi so i can ask him business questions at 3am and get answers word-for-word like he'd give them
works with anyone: gary vee, naval, graham stephan, any creator in your niche
i put together:
- the tool that uploads entire channels automatically
- my 5-minute setup process
- prompt framework for answers that match their exact style
RT + reply 'MENTOR' and i'll send you everything (must follow so i can dm)
