About

Brian Balfour is the founder and CEO of Reforge, where he builds and teaches multi-week growth programs that thousands of operators consider the graduate school of growth, and was previously VP of Growth at HubSpot where he scaled the growth team for the public SaaS company. His widely-cited frameworks and essays on product-led growth are already used by many founders, making his investor conversations focused on extending shared mental models rather than introducing foreign concepts.
