Ehsan's Growth Analysis
Loom found the perfect viral loop: every video sent introduces the product to the viewer, and viewers convert to creators. With 25M+ users, each Loom video is both content and marketing. The acquisition by Atlassian validates that async video is infrastructure, not a feature.
