It took me 8 startups and 21 years to get it right, (and one can argue success was due to the Internet bubble rather then any brilliance.) No internet, no blogs, no books on startups, no entrepreneurship departments in universities, etc. It took lots of trial and error, learning by experience and resilience through multiple failures.

I say digital because the past 3 months left many people locked inside their own homes with access to the internet and more time.

I like doing anything and everything I can over the internet. Some might say this is because I am a college-aged millennial whose social skills have been stunted by technology, but I think it has more to do with the ease, convenience and immediacy the internet provides. The internet will prevail. Internet’s got your back.

Why has growth hacking so strongly resonated with the startup community?

We also learned that law is code , and that leadership was needed to build thriving communities in a digital age. When I was a kid, the way I logged onto the internet for the first time (to play MUDs, naturally) was through an open dial-up console at San Diego State University. No logins, no codes, just raw uncensored internet access.

Its a key lean startup concept. Most importantly, there is almost no niche or trend that is unserved by this community. When you participate in an open community like these you take advantage of tremendous amounts of effort. Even as "just a user" you make the community better by adding momentum. Yeah, weve got that.

While there’s nothing you can do about there being too many ads on the internet, ad irrelevance, intrusiveness, and size are all elements to consider.
