Community first! How GrowthMentor leverages community to scale their bootstrapped SaaS platform

In this episode of the Growth Led Podcast, I interviewed Jessica and Foti from GrowthMentor. GrowthMentor is the industry leading marketplace that helps connect Growth mentors with mentees looking to get better at growth. 

In this episode we cover:

  • How to manage your time when working with highly manual aspects of community management

  • How GrowthMentor filters their applications to ensure the best talent gets into the network

  • Why being open to changing your business model is key to future scale

  • How and when does gamification actually work? 

  • How cross-network effects in a double sided marketplace help drive growth

  • When to automate and when to be a human

  • How mentors can provide the most value to mentees by focusing on a framework, not giving advice

  • What the most exciting part of the community is (hint...it’s a triggered action)

  • What elements of community are very hard?

  • How Zoom almost got me to purchase a plan after running out of time on this call!

  • ...and so much more!
