About the service
HHHYPERGROWTH is not an advisory service, it is an exploration into the product lines and architectures of hypergrowth tech companies, overlaying what the financials are telling us, and where the platforms & mgmt are pointing to next.
- For more details on what this blog provides, see the About page.
- My background and philosophy are covered on the Who Am I? and the Welcome pages.
- My hypergrowth investment philosophy was extensively covered in the What is hypergrowth? post from May-21.

- Besides this blog, you can also find me on Twitter @hhhypergrowth.
- Looking outside this blog, I also greatly enjoy the content from Peter Offringa at Software Stack Investing. Here is a compendium of his blog posts, which cover many of the same investment theses and companies. He is on Twitter at @StackInvesting.
