Growth & Longevity Systems BuilderShivam Selam
I work on growth as a first-principles problem. Both personal and business growth. Growth as understanding people, constraints, incentives, and momentum.
Over the last decade, this way of thinking pulled me into design, branding, product, AI systems, and long-term platform building.
Growth comes before everything else.
Before tools. Before technology. Before product. I start by understanding behavior and compounds.
Experiments, systems, and platforms.

"Growth works when you stop trying to hack it and start trying to understand why it isn't happening naturally."
"Systems don't fail because they are complex. They fail because the incentives of the people running them are misaligned."
System & Frameworks
First Principles Growth
Deconstructing growth problems into fundamental truths—user psychology, market constraints, and incentives—rather than relying on temporary tactics or 'hacks'.
Systems Thinking
Viewing businesses and products not as isolated components, but as interconnected networks of feedback loops, stocks, and flows that determine long-term behavior.
Leverage
The ratio of output to input. High leverage activities (code, media, capital, labor) allow for non-linear results from linear effort.
Compounding
The process where the value of an investment increases because the earnings on an investment, both capital gains and interest, earn interest as time passes.
Friction
Any variable that slows down or impedes a user from performing a desired action. Reducing friction is often the highest-ROI growth activity.
Incentives
External motivators that explain the behavior of individuals and systems. 'Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.'
