Overview
You want to move from feature PM to growth PM and the path is not clear. Learn the full acquisition-activation-retention-monetization loop, so you can run growth instead of dabbling in it. Octo builds this course around your role, your experience, and what you already know, so the version you get isn't the same one a beginner across the hall is reading.
What you'll learn
By the end, you'll be able to do these, not just have read about them.
Own acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization end-to-end
Build experiment systems that produce wins not just learnings
Move metrics that compound, not vanity metrics
Manage the growth-product-marketing seam without political drama

You're an APM or PM in your first few years and want to move faster.
You're an engineer, designer, or founder doing product work without the title.
You're a senior PM filling specific gaps before a promo or job switch.

Common questions
Is this a fixed course, or is it built for me?
Built for you. The chapter list below is a typical outline. Your actual course is generated against your role, experience, and what you already know, then adapts as you go.
How long does it take?
Most learners finish in 2–6 weeks at a normal pace, depending on the topic. Octo compresses where you're strong and slows down where you're weak.
Is there a fixed schedule or cohort?
No. You start when you start. There's no live session, no calendar, no deadline.
Can I ask questions while I'm learning?
Yes, every module has an AI Sidekick in the margin. Ask for a different example, push back, or get a clarifying analogy without leaving the page.
What do I get at the end?
A verifiable, HMAC-signed certificate with a public verify page. It records the modules passed, scores, and capstone, not just attendance.
How much does it cost?
Octo is in research preview, courses are open. We'll be transparent before pricing changes.

- Retention EngineeringYour retention curve flattens too low and your team treats it as fate. Learn habit loops, lifecycle, and win-back as a real discipline, so retention becomes something you build, not something you wish for.View course
