How to GROW without really trying... for Dummies! All hail the power law, exceptions becoming the norm, and more...
👋 Hey, Ruchin here! Welcome to this week’s edition of the ✨Top of the Lyne✨ newsletter. Each week we publish the hottest news from the beautiful world of product-led growth! (PLG)
Starting today’s newsletter with some exciting personal news - I just did my first podcast folks 🥳 Check out Entrepreneur.com’s Action and Ambition podcast below. Loved discussing Toplyne’s founding story, the generational evolution in SaaS GTM strategy, and my favorite topic… the rise of the individual over the institution 💪🏻

🔎 The PLG huntTel-Aviv based start-up, Frontegg just raised their Series A, led by Insight Partners. 💰FrontEgg does the heavy lifting for engineering teams who bear the brunt of the ever-evolving set of self-serve capabilities in the product-led era. CEO Sagi Rodin says with Frontegg, full-stack developers can build self-served user management in days rather than years. We're proud to announce our $25 million Series A funding, led by @insightpartners. All of this would not have been possible without the trust and support of our loyal customers. Big things are coming in 2022 🚀🚀
hubs.ly/Q0103MKj0 What hot and upcoming PLG company are you most excited about? 👇🏻 Growth Stories 🚀All Turtles founder Phil Libin wanted to call his next venture something so wacky, people would stop asking him what All Turtles meant. He succeeded. Mmhmm breaks the mould of video presentations (and company names). Their long-term vision for an increasingly remote world is to provide a platform with the surface area to reveal people’s personalities. Because… tools like Zoom, Slack are not designed to get to know people as people. Nobody loves Retool more than the developers guild, and for good reason. Retool frees up software developers from the rut of internal tools and moves them up stack to focus their creative attention and bandwidth on the core product. Here’s the story of a tool that was originally perhaps disastrously described by its founders as “Excel with higher order primitives.” 🤷🏻♀️ 📻 Tune in to the Top of The Lyne podcast and don’t forget to follow us for regular updates

Nerding out on PLG 🤓📚If you’re a founder, community building deserves thorough thought and a philosophy driving your early decisions… which is exactly what David Spinks and Lenny write about in detail here. Quick summary of the longer post on Lenny’s newsletter in the 🧵 below: A FOUNDERS GUIDE TO COMMUNITY
Should your startup invest in building community?
It's a big question... one that deserves a thorough answer.
I worked with @lennysan for the last 3 months on a 6,400-word guide published today in his newsletter.
