About Ed Baker
Ed Baker is an angel investor and growth advisor to startups including Lime, Zwift, Whoop, Crimson Education, GoPeer, and Playbook. He served as VP of Product and Growth at Uber from 2013 to 2017 during a period of hypergrowth, and was head of international growth at Facebook after the company acquired Friend.ly, a startup he co-founded that grew to 25 million users. He believes that startups should focus on achieving product-market fit before building growth teams, as growth expertise should fuel an already successful product rather than help find product-market fit.
