On this week’s show, we spoke with Dakota Smith, head of growth @ Hopper.

Dakota has worked for Hopper as chief editor, user acquisition lead and now, in his current role, as head of growth for close to four years.

Hopper is among the fastest growing travel apps ever, with over 10 million installs since it was launched in 2015. Hopper is the hottest startup in the travel space right now having just raised a massive $82M round led by the CPDQ.

• Hopper’s unique business model
• Key metrics they focus on
• Dakota’s challenges in scaling the team
• Where they are going to invest moving forward
