Quotes:

The most valuable advice about product growth is to really understand what's the input and what's the output. We can talk about growth and ARR retention. But at the end of the day, we really need to understand what are the inputs to growth.

We made a few mistake in the past. One of them was show people 10 things they must know about Lucidchart. My grandma and mom love that. But most knowledge workers we talked to were offended by it.

For user onboarding, strive towards educating people in a non-intrusive way.

“When someone gives their credit card information, they have a higher level of commitment. On the flip side, we want to meet their expectation by giving them the best resources and show the product’s full power.”
