I’m frequently asked: “How should I prepare for Reforge?” Here are some foundational elements to help you.

Understand These Foundational Topics

For all Programs

For all programs you should be familiar with the following frameworks and concepts:

• The 4 Fits Framework series

• What is Authentic Growth

• 5 Principles of High Performance Growth Teams

• The First Step to Building a Growth Machine

• The Law of Shitty Click Throughs

For the Growth Series

You should be familiar with the elements presented in this series from Jonathan Hsu at Social Capital:

• Diligence at Social Capital

For the Deep Dive on Retention + Engagement

You should understand the foundational elements we cover in these three blog posts:

• The One Growth Metric that Moves Acquisition, Monetization, and Virality

• Why Retention is the Silent Killer

• Retention is Hard, and Getting Harder - Here's Why

For the Deep Dive on Growth Models

There are very few growth practitioners who know how to create functioning, useful growth models. So there's very little content about it.

Here's one of the best ones out there from Andy Johns (President @ Wealthfront, former Growth @ Facebook and Twitter):

• Indispensable Growth Frameworks from My Years at Facebook, Twitter and Wealthfront
