The ultimate growth playbook: Building a 0ā1ā100 growth engine in a hyper-competitive AI market
Most startups donāt fail because the product is bad, they fail because they never build a growth engine.
In this session, Xile He breaks down the end-to-end growth playbook used to take a product from zero distribution to real scale in one of the most crowded and fast-moving categories in tech today: vibe coding tools.
Drawing from firsthand experience competing against well-funded incumbents, this talk unpacks how to design a growth engine from scratch, spanning positioning, channels, feedback loops, and execution cadence, when product differentiation erodes fast and speed is the only durable advantage.
Attendees will learn:
- Why traditional GTM playbooks break in AI-native markets
- How to architect a growth engine that compounds
- How to win distribution battles in noisy, fast-moving markets
- Lessons from launching and scaling alongside aggressive competitors
This is a tactical, operator-level blueprint for founders and GTM leaders building in fast-moving, high-noise markets where growth *is* the moat.
