the work stack – you may
see it next year

Tech are slow and are
prone to saying “no”

product itself to market
• Reckless briefs become
increasingly viable

• 2 developers reporting
to marketers, not
product development
• Work on marketability of
the product
Product Team
• Current team
• Work on product
improvement
Marketing Team
• Traditional Marketing
outputs

• First to have people upload their
contact lists
Growth:
• 2 million to 200 million
users
Growth Hack:
• Peer-to-peer vacation rentals
• Facilitated users to promote their
apartment ads on CraigsList
automatically
Growth:
