    1 week ago | growthunhinged.com | Kyle Poyar

  • Europe's fastest growing startup?

    3 weeks ago | growthunhinged.com | Kyle Poyar

    I’m probably not the first to tell you about Lovable. The Swedish AI coding startup grew from $0 to $10M ARR in only 60 days. Then they hit $17M ARR and 30,000 customers in 90 days – giving Lovable the reported distinction of being perhaps Europe’s fastest-growing startup. And now? $30M ARR in 120 days. The company told me they’ve burned a mere $2M to get there. They did it with a team of 18 people, which translates into more than $1M ARR per employee (🤯).

  • Replit's journey to making 2 million apps in 6 months

    1 month ago | growthunhinged.com | Kyle Poyar

    I’m increasingly convinced that the ability to build applications is being democratized in front of our eyes. Factors like creativity, data or taste – not necessarily technical skills or a massive budget – will become the deciding forces behind the next hit products. And I’m not the only person who believes this. Replit founder and CEO Amjad Masad told me that their AI agent has made more than two million apps (!) in the past six months – all without requiring users to write a single line of code.

  • The best automated GTM plays you’re not running

    2 months ago | growthunhinged.com | Kyle Poyar

    AI SDRs have been, well, controversial – to say the least. It seems nearly impossible to scroll LinkedIn without seeing the hate pile up. The chief complaint: AI tools will prioritize quantity over quality, thereby spamming accounts with generic messages, and ultimately burning through your prospect list. It’s a valid concern and we’ve seen this happen before with the rise of sales automation tools. But automation doesn't have to mean spray-and-pray.

  • Moving beyond founder-led sales

    Jan 22, 2025 | growthunhinged.com | Kyle Poyar

    👋 Hi, it’s Kyle and I’m back with a 🔥 edition of Growth Unhinged, my newsletter that explores the unexpected behind the fastest-growing startups. Up today: one company’s path from founder-led sales to repeatable GTM and 3x year-on-year growth. Warmly, the signal-based selling platform, went from zero to $700k ARR and 100+ paying customers in 2023. The plan for 2024: grow ARR by 3x+ and reach 250+ paying customers in a crowded product category (revenue tech).

Ok, but I think the more important question is: what did you think of Growth Unhinged?

it’s 50 shades of dark patterns to exploit users to drive app downloads design patterns that encourage unsuspecting readers to “get the app” bc no alternative option exists https://t.co/0r78Ng1Dc8
