High Growth Handbook

High Growth Handbook is a book by Elad Gil, published in 2018. This Waffle podcast explores the book across 4 episodes.

As a startup scales, how should the CEO delegate execution, align strategy, engage the board, and support hiring without getting trapped in low-value work? How should founders choose executives, define a COO’s responsibilities, and develop new businesses without adding more complexity than the organization can handle? How can leaders manage reorganizations, evolving roles, and an inclusive culture so the company and its people can adapt to both hypergrowth and a downturn? How can founders turn product success into durable growth through disciplined execution, distribution, financing, and acquisitions—without letting valuation pressure, waste, or unintended harm undermine the business?

These episodes are AI-generated adaptations grounded in the book. Listen to the first episode here and continue the series in the Waffle app.
