GrowthX Academy is closed
This school is now closed. Although GrowthX Academy is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and GrowthX Academy alumni reviews on the school page.
GrowthX Academy offers online training courses for individuals who want to level up or transition into a career in Growth Marketing, UX Design, or Sales and Business Development. The Growth Marketing Customer Acquisitions course is a self-paced, online, 8-week course covering customer acquisition, discovery techniques, analytics, technology self-sufficiency, and more. The UX Design course is a self-paced, online, 12-16-week course covering UX foundations, design research, design structure, and UI design. The Sales and Business Development course is self-paced, online, and covers business acumen, lean startups, unit economics, customer psychology, sales models, and more. Classes are taught by entrepreneurs, founders, business owners and investors who teach useful skills, mindsets, and frameworks for today’s competitive environment. GrowthX Academy students learn from a dynamic curriculum which they get lifetime access to.
To apply for GrowthX courses, applicants should talk to an enrollment advisor, audit a class (optional), and talk with an instructor. Once the team has assessed if the applicant is a good fit, the applicant will then fill out an enrollment agreement. No previous experience is needed, but GrowthX is looking for committed students who are enthusiastic about technology, but not necessarily to code.
Graduates receive personal and professional branding, and hands-on experience working alongside real companies like Alma Box, Cleanify, and Loverly. Students also benefit from immersion into the network of student peers, instructors, mentors, events, startups and investors. Throughout the course, students work with mentors and a career coach through the GrowthX Academy Career Canvas Funnel™, which helps match students with jobs that fit their goals. If students are unsatisfied with the course after 30 days, they can get a full refund.
Best decision ever! fantastic experienced instructors; great combination between practice and theory; and remarkable work environment to build new habits, meet entrepreneurs, and have fun doing something that I love.
As someone taking part in the inaugural sales & biz dev cohort I can tell you that we are on our 7th week (out of 12) and it’s been INTENSE! Since there are no official GrowthX Academy (GXA) Alumni (yet) I can give you some insight.

As someone taking part in the inaugural sales & biz dev cohort I can tell you that we are on our 7th week (out of 12) and it’s been INTENSE! Since there are no official GrowthX Academy (GXA) Alumni (yet) I can give you some insight.
My situation is a bit different than the others in my cohort since I have been IN Tech Sales for the past 2 years in Silicon Valley (SDR, AE, & CSM work). My focus for joining the academy was to broaden my experiences and have something to set me apart from everyone that I am competing with for work in Silicon Valley.
As someone who has done a lot out here and feels comfortable with the startup world, I still felt as though I was being held back, or holding myself back. When I made the choice to join GXA it was to be able to focus more deeply on sales strategies and how to approach things the right way. I've learned a lot in the first 4 weeks and the 5th week was a bit of a breather for us before we got into our 6-week internships with REAL companies.
I can say that I now understand more about taking a product to market than I think I would have on my own. Having the guidance of the instructors and everyone associated with the academy has really helped me to feel confident in what I know and how to execute on it. I also feel validated for the way that I view sales as a relationship and not a transaction, while also learning new strategies to close deals, lead a team, and more.
I will say that the first version of this course has been an adventure. You will be 100% submerged into the start-up world and the realm of having to always be flexible yet focused on your end goal. I will say that I alredy have a job offer that I would not be able to confidently accept without having gone through this program and having the team as my resource moving forward.

Joining the UX Design track at GrowthX Academy was the best decision I've ever made for my personal and professional growth. After considering other programs, I chose GrowthX after sitting in on a class and experiencing first hand what they could offer me. From day one, I could tell the entire team at GrowthX genuinely wanted to see every student succeed and was happy help at every step of the way.

I found GrowthX while I was researching Coding Bootcamps in SF. Coming from a founder's mentality, I humbly admit that I had NO IDEA about the incredibly important market side of business; and, market fit, customer messaging, UX design, growth metrics and sales are absolutely imperative to any successful company. I am now close to finishing a 3 month curiculum with GrowthX, and I can honeslty say that the knowledge, experience, and networking have been outstanding. These folks trul...

Coming from a founder's mentality, I humbly admit that I had NO IDEA about the incredibly important market side of business; and, market fit, customer messaging, UX design, growth metrics and sales are absolutely imperative to any successful company. I am now close to finishing a 3 month curiculum with GrowthX, and I can honeslty say that the knowledge, experience, and networking have been outstanding. These folks truly walk the walk. I wouldn't trade the experience.
I came to GrowthX through a chance meeting on a Thursday, pulled the trigger and started classes on Monday. It was a bit overwhelming and very intense to do since I was also in a full-time role at AppZocial.
However, the time, resources and energy have been worth it. The best part is the emphasis on personal as well as professional development. It forces you to confront who you are and how you work- not only in your career but in your life.

The GrowthX team cares and is invested in your success. It's not always smooth, but the execution is always there. My only regret is not doing this when I first made the career transition in the start-up world 3 years ago- the skills and knowledge would have been very helpful.
I treated my course at Growth X as oine might treat an MBA -- You know that the material might be online. But the mateiral is not nearly as important as the mentorship you receive from long term industry veterans through a structured learning process, not to mention the opportunity to work for real-world clients through your study. Julia, as the UX instructor, has been a fantastic teacher and resource, and has become a friend rather than just a contact. You won't find many people more gene...

Wayne Neale, as the course lead, has also been an extremely valuable resource in industry circles. I'm glad I attended the course!
It's difficult to put into words the impact that the people at GrowthX Academy have had on my personal and professional life.
"People first" is not just a core value at GrowthX, it is the foundation for everything they do. When you join the Academy you join a rapidly growing family of like minded individuals who are passionate about helping others and sharing knowledge.

The amount I have grown in my professional and personal life has been exponential. I am so thankful for making the investment in myself and joining the GrowthX family.
Had the pleasure of hiring a GrowthX student from their very first academy class. The student came on as an intern during her program with GrowthX academy, but before her completion of the internship, I knew I had to give her an offer! It was refreshing to hire and work with a smart individual who had a good baseline knowledge of sales techniques, different sales tools and an overall understanding of sales and marketing processes.

Had the pleasure of hiring a GrowthX student from their very first academy class. The student came on as an intern during her program with GrowthX academy, but before her completion of the internship, I knew I had to give her an offer! It was refreshing to hire and work with a smart individual who had a good baseline knowledge of sales techniques, different sales tools and an overall understanding of sales and marketing processes. If you are a sales director/manager, you know how difficult it is to hire based on just an interview. The education and training that these students get clearly sets them apart. I look forward to hiring more of my team from GrowthX in the near future!
I joined GrowthX Academy for one reason AND emerged from it with a zillion reasons why you should join. If you find yourself where I was three months ago — looking to break into tech with no coding skills, interested in the sales and marketing side of businesses, but having difficulty getting noticed with no hiring potential — seriously, look no further and join already.
GrowthX Academy is, by all means, hands down and up, the place to be.

GrowthX Academy gave me deep knowledge on how to sell products that people want and how to scale a business. Not only did we learn valuable sales skills for selling to enterprises, the information that I learned have give me confidence in a changing startup environment. Everything I learned was instantly applicable and practical.
I happen to believe that in order to become successful one needs to learn from those who've already achieved it.

I happen to believe that in order to become successful one needs to learn from those who've already achieved it. Sean Sheppard is an excellent leader and teacher who gave us the top knowledge from his own real life success experiences - something that I didn't get from traditional education programs. The opportunity to learn from the industry's best sales trainer, is probably a good enough of a reason to take the course alone, not to mention the course material and immersive experiences.
Having taken other tech bootcamps and marketing/sales programs before, GrowthX was different. First of all the in depth knowledge and information. Then the focus on developing student's intrapersonal skills. And most importantly - the large top mentor and alumni network that is extremely supportive and easy to access.
