High Growth Handbook: Scaling Startups From 10 to 10,000 People

High Growth Handbook is a playbook for scaling startups into global brands. Elad Gil, a global technology executive, serial entrepreneur, and angel investor, has worked with high-growth tech companies including Airbnb, Twitter, Google, Stripe, and Square as they expanded from small companies into global enterprises. Across these breakout companies, Gil identified common patterns and created an accessible playbook for scaling high-growth startups. The handbook covers key topics including the role of the CEO, managing a board, recruiting and overseeing an executive team, mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, and late-stage funding. Informed by interviews with prominent Silicon Valley figures including Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Marc Andreessen (Andreessen Horowitz), and Aaron Levie (Box), the handbook presents guidance for navigating complex challenges that confront leaders and operators in high-growth startups.
