Explosive Growth is a compelling and inspiring narrative gives entrepreneurs a rare behind-the-scenes look inside a fast-growing startup that created the first online dating app and grew to 100 million users.

It holds nothing back while detailing the highest highs and lowest lows of what it's really like to run a startup.
Cliff Lerner's online dating startup, Snap Interactive, was running out of money when he bet the company's fortunes on a then-unknown platform called Facebook. The app suddenly began to acquire 100,000 new users daily, and soon after the stock price skyrocketed 2,000 percent, setting off an extraordinary chain of events filled with sudden success and painful lessons.
You will learn how to:
- Ignite explosive growth by creating a remarkable product
- Identify the only three metrics that matter
- Explore valuable viral growth strategies

Praise:
"A must read for founders and CEOs who want to achieve rapid growth while also building a great product and company." (Payal Kadakia, founder of ClassPass)
"Lessons for startups on growth, marketing, & innovation from one of the smartest founders I know." (Andrew Weinreich, Social Networking Pioneer)
Critic Reviews
"Brilliantly crafted Explosive Growth is essential reading for every entrepreneur and leader seeking innovative solutions for their industry." (Keri Douglas, 9MuseNews.com)
"This is a great book to read. Some of the business books are a bit of a chore to read, this was one that we looked forward to reading. It is painfully honest at times, and rather than falling for the hindsight bias, that if he is successful now then surely every decision he made before was awesome. Instead he looks hard at what he did, and did not do right. It makes for a much better, much more compelling read." (Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News)

A guidebook to viral marketing
Cliff Lerner is a fantastic story teller but also shares great insights on viral marketing, using data stories and leveraging network effects. I can’t wait to read some of the other books he mentioned.

Easy to follow some great tips
The world of tech companies are brutally competitive and you get a inside look how you can go from being a rooster to a feather duster. I like the advice about the importance of taking money off the table. Good tips, easy read.
