It would be amazing if we had Substack Start-- a program like this for those of us who write consistently but don't have 500 subscribers yet. I would be so excited to apply for that!

So glad to see there's going to be another Grow cohort -- my experience last year changed everything for me. My group still meets on Zoom biweekly, and I've come to cherish their practical advice, commiseration, wisdom, and all-around support. I'm grateful to Substack for giving me this opportunity and for iterating on the program so that it's accessible to more people.
To those thinking about signing up, do it! You won't regret it.
If someone has 500+ subscribers don’t they already have the knowledge and the strategy to keep growing? I mean, something as basic as “clearly defining your value proposition” wouldn’t apply to these candidates? Also, what points would Grow be covering that aren’t covered in the wonderful Help articles already released by Substack?
Finally, for access to community (which is invite only basis under Grow), can’t users simply reach out to one another by regular email for collaboration or clarification of doubts?
I can’t apply, but I’m asking these questions to help others decide if this program is a fit for them.

I applied, though I'm just getting started here. I'm actually still engaged in branding, by designing my Substack.
I’ve been a freelance and contributing writer for 14 years now. Actually, minus six would only be eight years professionally. I didn't stop writing- not for myself or in my memoir that's been years in the making. I just didn't try to get published for a time.
Life is curiously, funny. I hope you saw that for what it was- smirky. I am excited by the mere possibility. Six years is to many years lost.
This community has been fantastical thus far. So keen to help. It's strange on the internet, but refreshing! Hope to know many of you in the future!
I enjoy the case studies and motivation of this course so much! We could essentially make different more in-depth courses for each category with applied data that could even empower writers and Creators further to grow faster. This was like a very laid back summer course or event. I'm seriously craving something a bit more analytical that goes into more detail.
The Substack Network is pretty sweet. The Zoom breakout sessions have been entertaining. I noticed I enjoyed the sessions much more as 2-hour. I barely get my feet wet in a one hour call. Substack Grow has been a tangible way for me to hear about what other Newsletters are going through and a reality check in some regards.

Substack grow was an incredible experience that I truly believe changed the course of my publication, at a time when I was stagnating.
Definitely recommend signing up!
Very good initiative.
This looks really interesting. Applied and fingers crossed.
I've just signed up! Fingers crossed!

This looks fantastic. Althought been new here and publish a few articles. Looking forward to join the cohort soon.
500 readers already is a bit steep for people who are looking to grow and committed. Will you be offering a lower catchment at some point?
This looks quite intriguing. But the application links keep sending me to the Substack homepage ... is there something I'm missing?
I've just applied!
This program looks great. Do you have any plans to do something that is Asia time zone friendly? If not is there video content we can look at? Thanks!
Hey, I am trying to apply bu I get an error page.
I was too excited not to try..I didn't want to give up!
