Growth Loop

A self-reinforcing system where users' actions produce outputs, like invites or content, that bring in more new users.

Short answer

A growth loop is a self-reinforcing system in which users' actions produce outputs, such as invites, shared content or reviews, that bring in more new users. Unlike a linear funnel, each cycle feeds the next, so growth can compound over time. Teams design loops deliberately and measure how efficiently each one converts input into new users.
