Definition

What is growth loops?

A growth loop is a self-reinforcing cycle where the output of one engagement becomes the input to acquiring the next user. Examples: viral loops (every new user brings N users), content loops (every new piece of content produces backlinks that fuel SEO), and product loops (usage produces public artifacts that drive new sign-ups).

FAQ

Growth loops questions from Pretoria operators

How is a loop different from a funnel?

A funnel is linear and terminates: acquire, convert, retain. A loop reinvests: the act of completing the funnel creates new acquisition input.

Are loops realistic for B2B?

Yes, though they tend to be content and reputation loops rather than viral loops. The Notion playbook (template gallery, public docs, referral) is one example. The dbt playbook (open-source artifacts, conference visibility) is another.

Can paid acquisition fit inside a loop?

Yes. Paid revenue funds organic growth that fuels the loop. The cleanest model is paid powering the funnel; loop reducing CAC over time.

How fast do loops compound?

Slower than the deck suggests. Real loops show measurable compound effect in months 4-9, often after a flat or declining period in months 1-3 that founders mistake for failure.

What kills a loop?

Falling viral coefficient (under 1.0 means net decay), platform dependency (algorithm changes), and ceiling effects when the addressable audience saturates.
