Key Lessons
- Product Growth is a discipline between product and marketing. It’s like science and art together. That’s why it’s so interesting.

- People think you can fix activation and you’re done. You’re not done, activation is a continuous optimization of the funnel.

- Before asking questions in user research, try to look into the quantitative data. Find out the problems in the funnel.
- Product walkthroughs did help with user activation.
- Product Growth is a discipline and Product-led Growth is a Go-to-Market Strategy.
