In "High Growth Handbook," Elad Gil offers an invaluable roadmap for navigating the tumultuous journey of scaling a startup into a global powerhouse. Drawing from his extensive experience as a technology executive and angel investor, Gil distills the essence of what it takes to foster rapid growth within the tech industry. Through a meticulous examination of his time with behemoths like Airbnb, Twitter, Google, and many others, Gil has crafted a playbook that is as insightful as it is practical. This book is not just about the theories of growth; it is a guide built from the trenches of Silicon Valley, offering clear, actionable strategies for managing challenges that arise when a company moves from the initial stages of development to becoming a name recognized around the world. Gil's handbook is interspersed with candid interviews from some of the most iconic figures in the industry, including Reid Hoffman, Marc Andreessen, and Aaron Levie, providing readers with a rare glimpse into the minds of those who have successfully piloted their companies through periods of explosive growth. Covering critical topics such as the role of a CEO, board management, recruitment, mergers and acquisitions, and navigating the complexities of IPOs and late-stage funding rounds, this book is an indispensable resource. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or the leader of a startup on the cusp of breakout success, "High Growth Handbook" offers the wisdom and guidance necessary to scale your company, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve the kind of growth you've only dreamed of.

A great book. - Keith Rabois
In fact, the general model for successful tech companies, contrary to myth and legend, is that they become distribution-centric rather than product-centric. They become a distribution channel, so they can get to the world. And then they put many new products through that distribution channel.
