I like the idea of getting feedback for personal growth. I think a lot of companies do the typical “end of the year reviews” but in reality feedback is something that should be much more conversational and frequent. Do you allow for custom feedback questions? Just thinking how maybe different teams (dev, design, marketing, sales etc) could use custom feedback questions to ask more specific questions!

@marcoafabrega - we are on the same page regarding the intent and frequency of feedback :)
Regarding your question - yes! Our premium offering, Grow Pro, allows you to customize Grow to meet the needs of your team.
I love how Grow allows to collect feedback throughout the year vs only hear it at your performance review at the end of the year!
@zelena - awesome! we agree. we want to decouple feedback from "performance review" decisions. we think of feedback as an opportunity for growth and learning, not necessarily something that determines your future comp!
Very cool - I would be interested in using this to gather feedback from beta users when our software product is ready - do you have people using it for this purpose now?
@conrad_ehing - do you collaborate with your beta users in Slack? If so, Grow can totally help you out!
Great product Ryan & team! We’ve actually been using this recently at our company (~150 size), and we’ve already found it to be a great tool for soliciting actionable feedback from team members, I’ve already gained so much insight in such little time that’s already making an impact on my performance. The Grow app made it super easy to ask anyone on the team for feedback, which is really great for introverted folks like myself. :)
Our experiences at companies ranging in size from 3 to 300k people have helped us realize that the workplace is changing. We were increasingly expected to be proactive about our personal growth - and we found that feedback was key to our journeys.
Informal feedback, while honest, tended to be irregular and fragmented. Formal feedback, while more regular, tends to be reserved, especially if someone likes you and knows that their feedback is available to your manager to make compensation decisions.
Grow gives you both data ownership and structure, encouraging feedback that is honest, continuous, and actionable.
We know the workplace is changing, and Grow is here to help you and your team evolve!
We'd love to hear any and all feedback you have for us :)
I love Grow! Founders are the real deal. Massive potential to enrich lives, both personally and professionally. Feedback loops are the key to continuous improvement and Grow is making that happen better, faster and easier than ever.
We have been using Grow at our 10+ people startup for about a year now. I love that people can use it to proactively ask for feedback, and our junior folks have only good things to say about it.
Pros:Easy to use, multiple feedback options
Cons:None
@topdawgcausting - good point! Honestly, we don't think just sitting on the phone will help with personal growth either.
Grow is a catalyst that facilitates feedback exchange, which in turn sparks growth conversations. We also provide resources (books, podcasts, courses, articles, etc.) related to the feedback exchanged for people to learn from.
In addition to feedback conversations with peers and mentors and personalized educational resource recommendations, what else do you think would help with personal growth?
@ryan_sydnor cool answer:) I think the element of connection will help people to share their experience and successes in personal growth. Also will make a stimulus like lil competition:)
