GrowthHackers Community

One of the original growth and experimentation communities, offering discussions, AMAs, and resources on growth marketing and CRO.

Overview

GrowthHackers is one of the original online communities dedicated to growth marketing and experimentation. Founded by Sean Ellis (who coined the term 'growth hacking'), the community offers a platform for growth professionals to share strategies, discuss experiments, and learn from each other.

The community features discussion forums, AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions with growth leaders, curated articles, and a library of growth and experimentation resources. Topics span growth strategy, A/B testing, user acquisition, retention, and product-led growth, with a strong emphasis on data-driven experimentation.

While GrowthHackers is broader than pure CRO, its emphasis on experimentation and data-driven growth makes it relevant for CRO practitioners. The community is particularly valuable for growth marketers who see CRO as part of a broader growth strategy rather than a standalone discipline. The platform has evolved over the years but remains a respected hub for growth-minded professionals.
