Growth Academy x Google trained 100+ startups in growth strategy
How Growth Academy supports Google to drive sustainable startup growth
Since 2020, Growth Academy is the official global content partner for Google for Startups. Together with Google, Growth Academy trained and advised over 100+ startups across 6 countries in exclusive, invite-only growth courses tailored towards the needs of early and growth stage startups.
The approach
Based on the curriculum of our 'deep dive' growth course — consisting of growth frameworks, exercises, cases, and expert talks, all embedded in a community — we ran 8 cohort-based corporate training programs across the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, and Mexico. Founders and their teams discuss individual growth challenges in advisory sessions with our founder Nikolas (ex-Google Growth Lead) and get access to regular expert talks with industry leaders from Silicon Valley and the global tech scene.
The results
Our programs regularly receive superb Net Promoter Scores (NPS > 70 = superb) showing excellent participant satisfaction. The corporate program designed for Google achieved the highest NPS scores in Growth Academy history: An outstanding NPS of 88 for the 2022 Brazil and Mexico cohort and a perfect NPS of 100(!) for the 2022 DACH cohort.
“Our corporate program for Google achieved the highest NPS in Growth Academy history: NPS = 88 in Brazil and Mexico 2022 and NPS = 100 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland 2022.”
