Gilion is the growth and funding platform powered by your data. Providing all the metrics and forecasts needed to optimize your growth in real time. When you want to push the pedal further, you can access the Gilion Growth Loan with unmatched scaleup terms.
đ Hey all Product Hunters!
Iâve been working with helping tech companies grow faster during the last 14 years. At Spotify, as a VC partner and now as a founder. So today, Iâm so happy to release our growth platform, Gilion, to all of you.
Gilion lets you connect to all the tools you use to build your company (think revenue, marketing, engagement data and your financial data), and then see all the metrics and forecasts that will help you to understand your growth and to grow faster.
Because the Product Hunt community is so awesome, we decided to give away 50%-discount-for-life-codes for everyone who signs up to our premium plans during the Product Hunt launch week. :D
Some of the most popular features:
1. Track all your daily growth metrics; like unit metrics, retention, lifetime value, cohorts, forecasts, sales & marketing efficiency all the way to opex and cash forecast. Prioritise your actions and measure if your initiatives have an impact.
2. Get proactive notifications when something is significantly up or down with your growth engine fundamentals; like sudden churn increase, monetisation spikes in a market, significant burn rate changes, changes in the Gilion Scores etc.
3. Fund your growth; The platform has most metrics that investors look for, so you can use our Decks feature to curate and share metrics to existing or new investors, or use it to request non-dilutive Growth Loans*.
For standard platforms, everything should work out of the box. Connect, wait for the backfill, and voilĂ - youâre good to go. A secure, managed analytics infrastructure at your fingertips. And if you have some special needs, jump onto our premium plans where our engineers are happy to help.
The goal is to make the Growth Experience as awesome as possible for all founders across the globe, by offering superior growth analytics and growth financing.
The entire Gilion team is extremely excited and look forward to getting your feedback on this release!
- With loads of love from our offices in Stockholm, Berlin, Copenhagen, New York and London

@hlandgren Hey Henrik,
I love the concept of Gilion and being from fintech and now a bootstrapped founder of an internet startup, I can understand the potential of data and tweaks that can turn around a business.
Love the overall concept and more power to you for creating such a tool and finally taking it to the funding end to finally make sense of the data you have worked on as a startup.
Hope you bring this to India as we have a cool ecosystem of startups here including mine.
Congrats on the launch!
@hlandgren Took me a minute to get it as the language on the page to start was a bit general but I think I got it. Seems like its helpful for companies looking to do reporting to investors or to pitch future investors, and has some nice design work. More thoughts
The hardest part of this seems like data integrity and programmatic interpretation. For example, it can be difficult to get the real picture of how a business is doing based on the numbers alone. Some businesses have natural seasonability (e.g. if you're selling to students, you'll likely see a drop in engagement over the summer). Curious how you manage this, @hlandgren. :)
@rrhoover Yes, thats the cool part about growth forecasting - If you break growth down into its fundamental components, like local seasonality, local retention rates etc, its much easier to identify trends and model the fundamentals into the future and then roll them back up again. This approach also makes it easier to understand more about the likelihood of different scenarios into the future.
When companies connect their data to the Gilion platform, a completely siloed and secure analytics infrastructure gets spun up for them, where only their data is managed. Data is never shared outside of this silo, unless the company invites someone else to the platform or use the Decks feature, where they can curate a set of metrics into a story and share to someone.
Happy to demo it if you're interested - its pretty cool to see all metrics and forecasts just appearing after you've plugged in your data sources and the first sync is done :D
"And when you see strength in the data, get funded on that strength". Such a beautiful statement from the video â¤ď¸
I have a few questions:
- How does one feed data into Gilion? What kinds of integrations do you support?
- Am I right in assuming Gilion's prediction will work better with many small-ish customers, as opposed to a few whale clients?
Congrats on the launch, Team Gilion! đ
You have a very cool product.
@jgani Thank you so much for the kind words!
âWe are currently supporting +50 data sources you can connect to Gilion, everything from your marketing tools to invoicing systems. This to be able to have all your data in one place.
âWe have features in the analysis such as Customer Concentration which will reveal as you said if you have many small or few whale clients. But we see better and more relying forecasting results when you at least 20 customers.
Thank you so much!

Congrats on the launch!
The product offers a wide range of data analysis dimensions, which looks impressive.
One question: At which stage of a startup is it most suitable to use?
@bonvisions Thanks a bunch for the congrats and for checking out Gilion!
To answer your question, Gilion is most suitable for startups once they've reached around 20 customers. At this stage, we typically see sufficient data volumes to provide accurate forecasts within the platform. However, our platform is flexible and can adapt to your needs as your startup grows.
We're here to support you at every stage of your journey!
Hey Henrik,
Congratulations on the launch of Gilion! It's inspiring to see someone with such extensive experience in tech growth bringing a new solution to the table. The combination of real-time analytics and funding opportunities seems like a game-changer for founders.
The proactive notifications feature sounds particularly helpful for staying on top of growth engine fundamentals. Also, the lifetime discount offer for Product Hunt users is a generous touch.
Best of luck with Gilion, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it helps founders worldwide!
Cheers!
@alex_dulub Thank you so much! Yes, I've been thinking alot about this since my Spotify days, and also after being a VC for many years. Companies that actually track these growth metrics tend to grow faster, and its also the metrics investors look for. So Im very happy to see the platform come to life to help entrepreneurs use it to grow and fund their growth.
And its just the beginning!
I am glad to find your product quite close to what I was looking for a while agod managing my business - all in for tracking an one place.
"What you can't measure, you can't manage."
Let me use your tools to measure it. If it works, I will recommend it to dozens of my clients and partners.
@ishwarjha That's awesome to hear! đ
We're stoked that Gilion hits the mark for what you need in managing your business â all about that one-stop tracking life, right?

Congratulations on the launch @hlandgren !!!
The design is very aesthetic and it seems like a useful tool especially for early stage startups.
There is a similar platform called DueDash (https://duedash.com) a German startup, on which I worked upon which does the same thing. You may want to check it out that also.
@shivansh_gupta4 Thank you for the compliment on our design! We've put a lot of effort into making Gilion both visually appealing and user-friendly. đ
We appreciate you sharing about DueDash as well â it's always interesting to learn about similar platforms in the space. We'll definitely check it out!

Hi @hlandgren , Congratulations on a very successful launch!! We have launched Chaturji - a multi LLM, collaborative AI assistant this week. I think there is great value for the end user with GIlion and Chaturji together. Would love your feedback on how early stage founders and their teams benefit with stacking different products !
@munira_masalawala1 Thanks a ton for the shoutout and congrats on the launch of Chaturji! Exciting times all around.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on how you see these two products complementing each other. Let's chat more about how we can maximize benefits for our users!
I love this! Signing up for my new venture. To be able to fund my company without giving away any shares is almost too good to be true but on top of that get a dashboard where I can keep track on my progress is even better.

Yeah, keeping full control without giving up shares is a game-changer, right? And that dashboard? It's just the cherry on top! Can't wait to see your progress skyrocket.
