Not All Revenue Growth Is Created Equal — A Harvard Fellow's Framework for Spotting the Real Thing

Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors

keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard

Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why

customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how

you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which

software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an

ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts

above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.
