Duolingo’s Growth Hacks: Scaling to 200M Users for Free
Join us for a compelling workshop led by Gina Gotthilf to learn all about Duolingo’s early growth strategy and how they scaled to 200M Users with $0 in Ad Spend!
Curious how apps like Duolingo get to hundreds of millions of users without spending any budget on marketing? Join us for an exclusive talk by Gina Gotthilf, the company's ex VP of Growth and very early employee.
Gina will share early screenshots and examples from the company's first years, from a/b tests to PR campaigns around the world. She'll also share lessons from her time leading growth at Tumblr in Latin American countries, working on the Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign, presenting at the White House, and launching her own VC firm. Finally, she might give us a sneak peek into her new startup.
