A most interesting book was published in 2021 by one of our business partners. There is a lot of literature on growth strategies – however, from my point of view, what makes this book stand out is that it contains countless tips for implementation that can be immediately applied to any business model. For investors, it is interesting because it raises many questions for founders that provide information about the growth strategy before a planned investment.
