High Growth Handbook (Unabridged‪)‬

High Growth Handbook is the playbook for growing your startup into a global brand.

"If you want the chance to turn your startup into the next Google or Twitter, then listen to this trenchant guide from someone who played key roles in the growth of these companies." (Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and New York Times number one best-selling author)

Global technology executive, serial entrepreneur, and angel investor Elad Gil has worked with high-growth, tech companies like Airbnb, Twitter, Google, Stripe, and Square as they've grown from small companies to global enterprises.

Across all of these breakout companies, a set of common patterns has evolved into a repeatable playbook that Gil has now codified in High Growth Handbook. In this definitive guide, Gil covers key topics, including:


The role of the CEO
Managing a board 
Recruiting and managing an executive team 
Mergers and acquisitions 
Initial public offerings 
Late-stage funding 


Interspersed with and informed by interviews with some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley including Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Marc Andreessen (Andreessen Horowitz), and Aaron Levie (Box), High Growth Handbook presents crystal-clear guidance for navigating the most complex challenges that confront leaders and operators in high-growth startups.
