Growth is a trust problem now. Every single employee at Lovable expected to ship code to production. For any founder, in the first year, investing in paid as the means of growth is a death trap. Unless you've been in the business for five years plus, you do not know your LTV. Do not lock people in subscription as the only way to monetize you.

This is 20 Growth with me, Harry Stebbings, and today we have one of the best heads of growth in the world joining us in the hot seat. We have Elena Werner, head of growth at Lovable. Lovable is the category leader. They are now at over 350 million in ARR. Their latest round put them at over $6.6 billion.

They are one of the fastest growing companies in the world. This is an incredible breakdown inside their growth machine. But before we dive into the show today, if you're looking for a way to transform your customer service, let me introduce you to Fin Baby. Fin is the number one AI agent for customer service, resolving up to 93% of customer queries automatically. There is no other agent that can do that.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
