What real people are saying?
Shiv Sinha
Co-Founder & CTO at newtrul
"Sameer is a truly expectational thought leader when it comes to network effects. He has created pragmatic frameworks to help you dissect, evaluate and strengthen your startup's NFX. The content he has created is truly on at the forefront of understanding NFX. No one else comes close (including Andrew Chen's book)."
Tova Safra
Co-Founder & Chief Design Officer at Groove
"Most people hear the words "network effects" and they assume some very broad and vague ideas about it, which are often hard to act on. The course taught a lot of specific and practical information that opened our minds to new strategies that we could actually use."
Mathias Ockenfels
General Partner, Marketplaces & Consumer at Speedinvest
We now make it a condition in our offer letter to new, junior team members to take this course (we obviously cover the cost). Keep up the good work!
