How to Build a Billion Dollar App

by George Berkowski

Who This Book Is For

The ideal reader is a hands-on founder, product lead, or mobile PM working on a **mobile-first** product from pre-seed through Series A. They value **evidence over ego**, want a step-by-step path from MVP to Product–Market Fit, and care more about **retention and cohorts** than raw downloads. They’re willing to interview users, ship weekly, instrument events from day one, and kill features that don’t move activation or W8 retention. They seek practical **checklists, metrics, and guardrails** for onboarding, growth loops, pricing, app-store hygiene, and release discipline. They appreciate **reversible decisions** (feature flags, staged rollouts) and **ethical growth** (useful notifications, no dark patterns). Ideal sectors include subscriptions, marketplaces, social/UGC, creator tools, fintech, health, or on-demand services. Above all, they’re impatient to **learn fast**, align the team around a **north-star metric**, and build a scalable machine—not just a clever app.
