Hello there, thank you for stopping by the Profitable Growth newsletter! 👋
They say, you just don’t start a newsletter; you start a substack (thanks
😎) — but, what does it mean? For me, it’s an invitation. An invitation to leverage a CFO and COO’s years of experience helping tech startups scale, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s also an invitation to jump in and contribute your ideas, requests for help, and experiences, so the community around this substack helps as many people as possible. Should they be founders, business leaders or aspiring professionals.

What should you expect? 🧐
It’s no secret that growth is a startup’s most important metric. It is the cornerstone of startup success, validates the business model, attracts investment, secures competitive positioning, and sets the foundation for long-term sustainability.
But not all growth is created equal. Sometimes, aggressive growth makes sense; sometimes, a more cautionary approach is required, and in other instances, profitability is much more advisable than growth.
There is no right or wrong; it’s all contextual. We will explore lessons learned through use cases (past and current), analyses, and personal experiences.
But I’m also convinced that leading modern organizations through growth in a rapidly changing business world requires adopting new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the proper operating culture/mindset, and financial discipline.
Without it, it would be difficult for any startup to achieve profitable growth.
So, expect this newsletter to cover all of the above in a way that is nicely and logically organized, creating options for you to consider as you drive business growth.
This will be a safe space for anyone to share their opinions, advice, and experiences with this community, as no one has all the answers!
When it comes to publishing:
I will start posting weekly on Tuesdays.
Each post should take you ~5 min. to read — no more.
That’s about it for now. Thank you again for stopping by! 👋 📈
Best,
JP
