Brad Gerstner on Growth

Brad Gerstner@altcap

Dev - thx for one of the most epic runs in SV history. @AltimeterCap invested in two pre-IPO rounds in 2013 & 2015 - they were hard rounds to get done - growth was slowing but we believed in Dev. He launched Atlas, built a world class team & the rest is history. 🫡🚀🙏

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Growth and marketing teams
