I’m Lomit Patel, a growth marketing executive, author, and Chief Marketing Officer at TYB (Try Your Best), where I help brands unlock community-led growth and turn their most passionate customers into their most powerful marketing channel.
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led growth and marketing at high-growth technology companies, including Roku (IPO), IMVU, Texture (acquired by Apple), TrustedID (acquired by Equifax), and Tynker. My work has focused on building scalable growth systems, optimizing user acquisition, and helping companies grow from early traction to $100M+ in revenue while maintaining efficient CAC and ROI.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and modern marketing. I write and speak about how startups and brands can use AI-driven systems, community-powered distribution, and data-driven experimentation to build sustainable growth.
I’m also the author of Lean AI, part of Eric Ries’s The Lean Startup series, where I share lessons on how teams can leverage AI and automation to build faster, more efficient growth engines.
Through my writing, speaking, and advisory work, I aim to help founders, marketers, and operators navigate the next era of growth powered by AI, community, and customer-led distribution.
