👋 Hey, I’m George Chasiotis. Welcome to GrowthWaves, your weekly dose of B2B growth insights—featuring powerful case studies, emerging trends, and unconventional strategies you won’t find anywhere else.
This note is brought to you by Restartt.
Most CEOs want to create content. Few actually do.
Not because they don’t have something to say, because they don’t have a system.
We’re running a workshop to fix that.
This is for busy founders who want to show up on LinkedIn but don’t know where to start (or how to keep going). We’ll walk you through:
The exact workflow we use to turn raw ideas into sharp posts
A proven framework for defining your content pillars and schedule
How to use AI to support your voice, not replace it
No fluff. Just what works, based on a real founder-led strategy.

If you’re the face of your brand (or want to be), this will help.
See you there.
In this GrowthWaves interview, I talked to Iliya Valchanov, CEO of Team-GPT.
Iliya first scaled 365 Data Science to four million students, then parlayed those lessons into Team-GPT, launched just ten days after GPT-4’s release.
He explains how a bare-bones WordPress page brought in $300 in pre-orders within two weeks for a product that didn’t exist, and why “first-time founders focus on product, second-timers on distribution, third-timers on team.”
We dig into his scrappy, repeatable playbook:
ranking overnight for zero-keyword GPT searches;
recording 100 bite-sized videos in a weekend to flood Instagram;
and the “come for the course, stay for the software” funnel that converted 25k+ users.
Iliya unpacks his feedback-rule-of-ten for ruthless feature prioritization, the unexpected QA value of lifetime-deal marketplaces, and the compounding trust that comes from building in public.
Expect clear frameworks for validating demand before you code, turning content into sustained traction, and assembling an AI product team that ships fast.
Enjoy!
