Growth Unhinged

What it is.

Kyle Poyar spent 15 years on growth and monetization in tech, including Operating Partner at OpenView, where he led marketing and worked with founders scaling revenue from $1M to $100M+. Before that he was a director at Simon-Kucher, the pricing consultancy.

That background is why this reads differently from most growth writing: the issues carry original survey data on pricing, packaging, conversion, and AI monetization.

It goes out every Wednesday morning to 85,000+ readers, and the recent run has been about how fast AI is resetting pricing and how to measure AI search.

What you get.

  • Original benchmark data on pricing, packaging, and conversion
  • Case studies of fast-growing B2B companies with the numbers attached

Strengths
  • Original survey data, so you're citing a primary source when you quote it.
  • Pricing depth that comes from a Simon-Kucher background.
  • Weekly and consistent, with a standing Wednesday slot.
  • Covers monetization, which most growth newsletters leave alone.
Limitations
  • Skews self-serve and hybrid, so pure sales-led enterprise gets less.
  • Survey samples aren't always broken out by company size, which matters when you're benchmarking a small base.
  • Sponsor placements are frequent, and some issues lean on them.
  • Kyle advises companies, so the case studies sometimes overlap with clients.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already have benchmark data you trust for pricing and PLG.
