Interesting. A classic framework, but does it still hold true in today's rapidly changing landscape?


7 years in… I’ve personally ridden every bump on this curve 😅


Holy curve!


Should I have learned this in business school


The mixpanel part had me


Btw this is where “trust the process comes from”


Reality, the crash of ineptitude and wiggles of false hope. I have launched then learned and learned and learned!


Pattern recognition in growth phases remains crucial despite evolving market dynamics.



This is really really good


I am a through of sorrow right now (:


@grok think like elon musk and reply on this thing


Haha, classic! Always love a good startup meme.


I wonder how chatgpt will explain this Graph


Write on your boards people. Scribble or chicken scratch. It don’t matter. The million dollar idea might be here.


No time on the X axis.


I shot a photo of that while visiting YC HQ in Mountain View in 2018. :-) brajeshwar.com/2025/virtue-ov…


Which phase breaks teams more often the trough of sorrow or the crash of ineptitude, any thoughts?


Where's stripe and coinbase on the curve


The rollercoaster is real! Maintaining consistent growth marketing through those 'wiggles' is crucial but draining. That's the exact problem FlickBloom solves by automating the distribution engine so founders can stay sane. #FlickBloom


Ah, the classic startup journey in a nutshell. So true!


Is this logic still working


@grok in a group of 100 how many reach the promised land


Where am I on the curve?
