THE INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF -
If 2022 has taught us anything its that building an ecommerce business is harder than ever. It’s no longer as simple as launching a store and creating a few top performing Facebook ads and waking up to a Shopify store that’s doing tens of thousands in daily revenue. Costs are skyrocketing, ads don’t work the way they used to and customers are smarter than ever. That’s why we’ve we built How TF Do I Scale. A course built by founders, for founders.
Over the past six months, Hyla Nayeri & Adrien Bettio (founders of 437), have teamed up with Aaron Spivak (Co-founder of Hush) and Chris Meade (Co-founder of CROSSNET) to create an encompassing 10+ hour course that will provide you with everything you will need to scale your business up to 7-8 figures and beyond.
HOW TF DID WE START?
Hyla and Adrien co-founded How TF in 2021 after receiving countless questions on how they started their business. So was born, How TF Do I Start? The entrepreneurial crash course that takes the guesswork out of starting your business. Now they bring you How TF Do I Scale?
As How TF has grown, so has the community of entrepreneurs. We’ve put together a concrete guide to answer all of your questions on scaling your business. Led by four co-founders of multi-million dollar businesses who have a proven track record of scaling their individual companies. You’ll learn from industry icons who are experts in their niches.
