How can you predict if engaged users will stick? Investors look for products that have accruing benefits as a user engages, and mounting losses if the user leaves the product.
Accruing Benefits The more you use the product, the better it gets. This is largely because a consumer adds data to the product, either explicitly or implicitly, and then the company uses this data to improve the experience for the user. greylockpartners.
Mounting Loss The longer you stay with the product, the more you have to lose by leaving. It becomes a product you depend on, part of your identity, or it becomes a product on which you've accrued value of some sort greylockpartners.

Level 3: Self-Perpetuating Level 3 Self' . As users engage, they create virtuous loops in perpetuatmg the product.
Okay, so we now have a growing base of engaged users, and a sticky product. greylockpartners.
Now the question is whether the engagement of existing users creates virtuous loops in the product. greylockpartners.
The strongest virtuous loop is a network effect. [A More content More users pin Ky' J Better discovery experience greylockpartners.
But there are many other virtuous loops. For example: Sends pin User _ Notifies / RU . to friend discovers pin existing user 59'" repms Acquires user Re-engages user Growth Re-engagement greylockpartners.
Virtuous loops are really hard to create — most products don't have them (though many try). greylockpartners.
G EVE RNOTE" - As strong as Evernote is on Level 1 and Level 2, it falls short on Level 3. - Evernote's product is much more about user value than creating virtuous loops. greylockpartners.
